-
Last summer, Ecuador and Brazil shared Group B of the Copa América Centenario. Their game ended with a controversial goal-less draw. Ecuador had reason to complain after the linesman disallowed a goal because he thought the ball had left the pitch.

A Canarinha has won five of its last seven meetings against Ecuador.
Team news
Ecuador's coach Gustavo Quinteros decided to call up six players with no international experience with La Tricolor. The coach wants to add variety to his defense and midfield, while the strikers' department still relies on what Felipe Caicedo and Enner Valencia can do up front. Espanyol's man missed the Copa América clash between these teams due to an injury, which will make him eager to score against the Brazilians.
This is Ecuador's full roster for their games against Brazil and Peru.

On the other side of the pitch, Brazil will try to build upon their recent success in the Olympic Football tournament, with seven Gold Medal winners included in the team. Neymar will return with the senior squad after being left out of the Copa América Centenario, and he will surely try to impress the world of football under the team's new coach, Tite.
