Ecuador beat Bolivia and top the group in the U-23 pre-Olympic qualifiers

In the third date of the South American U-23 pre-Olympic qualifiers, the Ecuadorian team beat Bolivia 2-0. At the Brigido Iriarte Stadium in Caracas.

The match began with a very tense match in the midfield, where both teams had difficulty creating danger, and the team led by Miguel Bravo tried to search for Yaimar Medina, although the matter was not accurate. In the 22nd minute, John Mercado fired a rocket ball to open the scoring for the tricolor and open the door to the match.

Ecuador began to cheer up and became stronger with every line. Already in the second half, Latri's team turned from more to less and began to struggle in the defensive zone, giving the Bolivian team the opportunity to cause damage and come close to equalizing the situation. Alexis Villa was careful to prevent his goal from being overtaken.

The changes revitalized the tricolor and restored its weight in the attacking area, and Allen Obando, the young and talented striker, appeared, scoring with quality and ruling the story in favor of Ecuador.

With this result, La Tri is the absolute leader and has a foot and a half in the home run. If Miguel Bravo's team beats Brazil, they will advance to the next round of the pre-Olympics.

The match against the Brazilians will take place on Monday, January 29 at 3:00 pm. At the Brigido Iriarte Stadium in Caracas; Keeping in mind that this will be Ecuador's last match in the group stage.
