Ecuador dominated New Zealand 2–0 in an International Friendly on 19 November, controlling proceedings with 73% possession and 24 shots to the visitors' 10. The hosts' 4–4–2 formation proved effective in suffocating New Zealand's 4–2–3–1 setup, with Ecuador generating 2.66 xG against the Kiwis' modest 0.57. Leonardo Campana scored one of Ecuador's two goals as the South American side converted their superiority into a comprehensive victory. New Zealand's goalkeeper faced eight shots on target but could only save two, though the underlying metrics suggest Ecuador's finishing efficiency exceeded what the raw xG might indicate. Ecuador's clean sheet—courtesy of their keeper's 100% save rate from two shots faced—underscores their defensive solidity throughout. The result extends Ecuador's unbeaten run in friendlies ahead of upcoming competitive fixtures.
