Sebastián Beccacece, technical director of the Ecuadorian National Team, highlighted the difficulty of the goalless draw against Paraguay as a visitor, on September 4, on the penultimate date of the South American Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup.
The Argentine coach acknowledged that the Paraguayan team was intense and opted for a direct game, which complicated the development of the game. With this result, Ecuador adds his fourth consecutive draw without annotations.
“I think there are reasons to be proud of this group of players, and I notice that many of their questions reflect concern,” Beccacea replied to journalists, given questions about the performance of the team after the tie in Asunción.
“I do not share those concerns. What I feel is joy for a competitive team, which has been the one who has lost the least parties, the one that has received the least goals, and that manages to add points away from home, something that was not common before,” he added.
With this result, Ecuador reached 26 points and secured its classification to the 2026 World Cup, subtracting only one date to dispute.
