89'It has been a lackluster half of play as neither team could conjure up a decent attacking display. We are heading into the stoppage time and the game is heading towards a stalemate.
84'Brazil are trying to break free but they haven't been able to do that so far. Gabriel Martinelli has been preey average since coming on as a substitute.

Brazil Substitution
OFF: Gerson, ON: Andrey Santos
Ecuador Substitution
OFF: John Yeboah ON: Kevin Rodriguez
76'Casemiro comes up with a magnificent strike but the shot is saved by Valle.
75'Ecuador win a free kick. The free kick is taken by Caicedo, which is headed away for a corner by Ribeiro. Vite takes the corner which is headed away in the near post by Cunha.
70'Another Ecuador attack fizzles out. This time Estupinan the guilty party whose cross is very disappointing.
69'Guimaraes' pass towards Vinicus is intercepted and then Ecuador launch a decent attack. Caicedo finds Yeboah, who skips past a Brazil player but then lets his team down with a poor strike, which is easily gathered by Alisson.
66'Cunha makes a decent run inside the box but it is overlooked by Vanderson.
64'Two big substitutions from Carlo Ancelotti. Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli is On, and the Manchester United bound Matheus Cunha also arrives.
OFF: Richarlison, Estevao
ON: Matheus Cunha, Gabriel Martinelli
56'Brazil win a corner and then Estevao's delivery is way overhit. Bruno Guimaraes somehow keeps it alive but then is forced to retreat. Brazil have been wayward like this in the final third all night.
55'Carlo Ancelotti may think about making a few changes soon. It hasn't been the best game for Vinicius Jr. and probably he may look to bring on Gabriel Martinelli.
51'Vanderson at the right-back has been decent for Brazil today. He has also been a force going forward.
48'Estupinan is at the heart of an Ecuador attack again and this time Alisson makes a smart stop.
46'Alan Minda has been taken off as Angelo Preciado comes on for Ecuador.
The seocnd half starts in Guayaquil.
Ecuador had three shots in total while Brazil had two shots. The possession was 51-49 in Ecuador's advantage. The home team also completed 2 more passes than Brazil. If we take a look at these stats, Carlo Ancelotti's men need some improvement after the break. We are getting closer to the resumption after the break.
The Half Time whistle blows and nothing to separate these two sides at the break. Carlo Ancelotti will be content with the performance, all to play for after the brief hiatus.
Minda takes another aim from long range, but Casemiro is brave and blocks the shot.
45' As the half comes closer to conclusion, not much to differentiate between the two sides. Ecuador have grown in statures in this game and perhaps should have taken the lead. Brazil have also had their chances.
42'Alecandro wins a free kick for Brazil in his own half. The Selecao take it quickly and look to build again.
38'Minda cuts in and then tees off Estupinan, who sends in a cross in the box. Yeboah is the one who meets with the header but the attempt trickles way wide of target. The Ecuador attacker should have done better there!
37'Ecuador make another decent move and Moises Caicedo is at the heart of it again. But they have lacked the final penetration so far in this match, which lets them down again.
33'Casemiro misses a big chance from the latest Brazil corner as his header goes over the bar.
30'Estevao makes a top run and then his drilled shot is saved by Valle. Brazil are showing signs of dominance but are yet to take the lead.
26'Ecuador win a free kick. Estupinan then sends in the cross which finds Pacho, whose volley goes out for a corner after a deflection.
24'Moises Caicedo finds Yeboah, who attempts from a long range. The shot is decent but nowhere near troubling Alisson, who makes a comfortable grab.
23'Vinicius finds the ball in the box and his curling effort is superbly saved by Valle. A huge chance for Brazil but the goalkeeping was excellent in that occasion.
Date & Time: Friday, June 6, 2025, 7:00 PM ET (Saturday, June 7, 2025, 4:30 AM IST)
Venue: Estadio Monumental, Guayaquil, Ecuador
Referee: Piero Maza (Chile)
Ecuador remains unbeaten in their last six matches and is pushing for a top-two finish. Brazil, amid a transitional phase, is still within striking distance and aiming to steady their campaign.
This will be Ancelotti’s first match in charge of the national team, and expectations are high. Vinícius Júnior will likely be the focal point, with a youthful core including Endrick and Estevão bringing dynamism to the side.
Ecuador’s resilience has been their biggest asset. The midfield, orchestrated by Caicedo, balances defensive security and creative distribution. If their top attackers are fit, they can pose serious problems on the break.
Brazil has historically dominated this fixture, staying unbeaten in the last 12 meetings. However, Ecuador’s form suggests they are more than capable of pushing Brazil to the limit.
