Both teams arrive at this fixture at the bottom of the table, each yet to secure a point after two outings. Bolivia opened with a loss away to Brazil and followed with a defeat at home against Argentina. Ecuador, after an opening defeat to Argentina, managed to claim a victory at home against Uruguay but still sits without points because of a three-point deduction tied to Byron Castillo’s eligibility in earlier qualifying campaigns.
Why does Ecuador still trail despite the win? The explanation rests on the federation’s enforcement of eligibility rules, which left the team with a setback on the standings despite on-field results. The situation has been a topic of discussion among supporters and analysts as qualification campaigns unfold across the continent. [Goal]
