Lively dribbles, no end product
Nilson Angulo generated two crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Mexico.
Analysis: After his impressive display against Germany, Angulo earned his second consecutive start and was among Ecuador's most dangerous players alongside John Yeboah. His dribbling gave Mexico's defence problems and he completed four successful dribbles, but the final contribution did not follow as he ended the game with only two crosses and nothing in the way of shots or chances created.
Starts scoring for Ecuador
Angulo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 2-1 win against Germany. He was injured and subbed out in the 85th minute.
Analysis: Angulo set a decisive tone for Ecuador in Thursday's 2-1 victory over Germany, netting the team's opening goal in his first start of the tournament. After previously serving as a substitute against Ivory Coast and Curacao, he fully capitalized on this opportunity to showcase his impact. Across just 139 minutes of play, he has recorded two shots on target, six successful dribbles, 11 ball recoveries, and an 80 percent pass accuracy. His standout performance against Germany has firmly positioned him to contend for a starting role in the upcoming Round of 32, though he remains in a tactical battle with Pervis Estupinan for the position.
