It was going to be a battle coming in as the top two countries in Group F were set to face each other in the opening match. The events that unfolded on Monday did not disappoint as the U.S. tied a very talented Ecuador side 3-3 thanks to a late equalizer from Luca de la Torre in the 94th minute.
How it Happened
The start of the match was an absolute disaster for the Americans as they fell behind 2-0 in the opening seven minutes. Ecuador’s first goal came in the fifth minute as Herlin Lino pounced on a ball in the box and slotted it home.
