The United States drew 1–1 with Ecuador in an International Friendly on 10 October 2025, with the Americans dominating possession and chances but failing to capitalise on their superiority. Deploying a 3–4–3 formation, the USMNT generated an expected goals figure of 1.82 from 11 shots, of which five found the target, yet Folarin Balogun's single goal proved insufficient to secure victory. Ecuador's 4–2–3–1 shape proved compact and efficient defensively; despite registering just 0.54 xG from eight attempts, the visitors matched the hosts' output through a clinical finish. The American goalkeeper made four saves and maintained an 80 per cent save percentage, conceding exactly 1.0 post-shot expected goals, indicating Ecuador's conversion efficiency. This stalemate leaves the USMNT searching for greater clinical finishing in future fixtures.
