Ball-playing defender anchors possession

Ortíz creates despite limited quality

Gruezo dominates the midfield battle

C. Gruezo made 17 combined tackles, interceptions, recoveries and clearances, establishing midfield control and limiting opposition transitions. His defensive intensity gave Ecuador a physical anchor to contest possession and break up attacking sequences.

Julio injects energy off the bench
