Mathematics to know how much Ecuador needs to go to the World Cup
Matchday 14 was favorable for Ecuador: Colombia tied (0-0) at home against Paraguay and Bolivia won (3-0) at home to Uruguay.
There are four games left to finish Playoffs and not to depend on other results, such as those of Colombia (fourth with 17) and Peru (fifth with 17), you have to win two and tie one, to reach 30 points. The matches to be played by the ‘Tri’ are:
- Ecuador vs. Brazil, in January
- Peru vs. Ecuador, in January
- Paraguay vs. Ecuador, in March
- Argentina vs. Ecuador, in March
It must be taken into account that the direct rivals of Ecuador are Colombia and Peru and by date 15 both will play. A draw will be beneficial to the national team. In the event that the ‘Cafeteros’ won all the games, they would add 29 points; the same with the ‘Albirroja’.
Although today’s victory is important, we must not trust ourselves, there are still points to be won, but the road is getting closer and closer. (JG)
