The Copa America 2021 will be hosted again on Brazilian soil after being delayed last year due to the global pandemic. On the first day of the tournament, Colombia will face Ecuador. Both are part of Group A and will be accompanied by Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela.
The match will be played on Sunday, June 13, 2021, at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba, Brazil.
How do Colombia and Ecuador arrive?
Colombia comes to this game with a complicated situation; during their last 5 qualifying matches for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, they have 2 draws, 2 defeats, and only 1 game won, which places them in fifth. Yes, they are in the last place, but that still grants them a place for the next World Cup. Recently though, the football played by Colombia has not been the one that the fans are loving.
Colombia comes from playing two difficult matches in this last FIFA date, the first match against Peru in Lima, in which they managed to play the best match they have had so far, in this match they beat Peru, 3-0. And in the second match of the FIFA date, they started losing 0-2 against Messi’s Argentina, but they managed in the second half and managed to tie the actions to end with 2-2.

For its part, Ecuador began its journey in these qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, with 3 wins and only 1 game lost in its first 4 matches, but this last FIFA date was fatal for them, and they fell both times. The first game was crushed by the machinery of Brazil, with a result of 0-2, and, in the second game, they were defeated as visitors by the Peruvian team with a result of 1-2. But, regardless of this, Ecuador currently occupies third place in the classification for the Qatar World Cup with 9 points out of 18 possible to only 3 from Argentina, who occupies second place.
