The second friendly of the FIFA date took place in the early hours of Tuesday, March 28. Ecuador defeated the Australian Socceroos 2-1 at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne.
This was the first victory of the Spanish Felix Sanchez passes The last date the coach has already made his debut was as Ecuador’s coach, when Australia won 3-1 in Sydney.
The coach used a 3-4-3 formation to position the players and get the win. Sánchez had already announced his intentions with the team since being presented at the Casa de la Selección: “We want to be a leading team in competitions, with a winning mentality from the start, against any competitor, environment and championship.”
This Tuesday, Craig Goodwin provided the first kick of the game, as he finished off Hernan Calindez’s goal and assisted Brandon Borrello on the Kangaroos’ only goal.
‘Tri’ didn’t score until the second half, where their fortunes changed with a Pervis Estubinan penalty shot towards the centre.
Ecuador’s next blow came in the 64th minute when a corner kick by Junior Sornoza opened the way for William Pacho to score the second goal to give the tricolor team the win. (D)
