Preview

Argentina continues their quest for the Copa America title as they face Ecuador in the Quarter-final clash on Sunday.

Messi and Co finished table toppers of their group with 10 points following 3 wins and 1 draw, which does not tell the complete story.

The Argentina side have not played their best football and have just about managed to get the right result during the group stages.

After an opening day drawn against Chile, two 1-0 wins against Uruguay and Paraguay followed.

A 4-1 win against Bolivia was the perfect way to end their group stage and qualify for this round. Messi’s brace followed by Gomez and Martinez’s strikes were enough.

On the other hand, Ecuador finished 4^th in their group and managed to qualify by a sole point. With 3 draws and 1 loss, their campaign seems to have never kicked off at all.

In a crucial match such at this, Ecuador needs to be at their best if they stand any chance against Argentina.

The last time these two sides faced each other, it was a WC Qualification match last year where Argentina won 1-0 courtesy Messi’s goal.
