The Ecuadorian team will play a ‘final’ against Senegal this Tuesday for the pass to the round of 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The ‘Tri’ wants to match their best result in a World Cup and depends on themselves to achieve the goal .
After the first two days played, Ecuador and the Netherlands have 4 points, Senegal has 3 and Qatar, without scoring, is already eliminated. It is useful for the South Americans to add a point and they will not need to make calculations if they add three again. Next, review the different scenarios that Gustavo Alfaro and his management could face at the end of the group stage.
WHAT HAPPENS IF ECUADOR DIES
If Ecuador does not get the victory against Senegal but salvages a tie, they will add a point that will ensure their presence in the next instance of the World Cup. The ‘Tri’ would only advance first if the Netherlands lose to the eliminated Qatar. In the event of a tie or victory for the Dutch, the Aztec team would qualify second.
WHAT HAPPENS IF ECUADOR WINS
In case of getting a victory in their last presentation for the group stage, the squad led by Alfaro would confirm their presence in the round of 16 of Qatar 2022 and could keep first place even if the Netherlands beat the hosts, depending on the difference in goals. If the Europeans do not win, the Ecuadorian team would finish alone at the top of the group A table with seven points.
WHAT HAPPENS IF ECUADOR LOSES
Even if they lose to Senegal, Ecuador could be among the 16 best teams in the world in the remote scenario that Qatar manages to defeat the Netherlands. If the Netherlands equalizes, Ecuador would be without options with the defeat.
