Ecuador claimed a 2–1 victory over Saudi Arabia in an International Friendly on 31 May, with the hosts demonstrating superior clinical finishing despite Saudi Arabia's higher shot volume. Ecuador created more dangerous opportunities, generating 1.17 expected goals from 11 shots with six on target, while Saudi Arabia managed 12 shots but only two on target and 0.68 xG, reflecting poor conversion efficiency. The visitors' goalkeeper made one save above expected performance (50% save percentage), yet it proved insufficient to prevent defeat. Ecuador's 4–2–3–1 formation proved more effective than Saudi Arabia's 4–4–2 setup in controlling the match's critical moments, with the home side converting their chances when it mattered. The result underscores Ecuador's attacking prowess in friendly competition ahead of their next fixtures.
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
