Ecuador must beat Mexico on Friday to keep their Copa America dreams alive
Enner Valencia is preparing for Ecuador’s final group game of a so far disappointing Copa America campaign when they play Mexico on Friday.
Following defeats to Chile and Bolivia, La Tri must beat Mexico to give themselves any chance of progressing to the knockout stages.
While results have not gone the way Valencia would have liked, the West Ham United striker has been in lively form, scoring against Bolivia and hitting the crossbar against Chile.
Mexico, on the other hand, are unbeaten so far, drawing their two games. La Verde drew 0-0 with Bolivia in their opening match before sharing the spoils in a six goal thriller with Chile.
Ecuador play Mexico at the Estadio El Teniente on Friday and kick off is at 6pm local time (10pm BST).
