Copa America, Brazil vs Ecuador: Three players to watch out for BRA vs ECU
Brazil will try to maintain their perfect record when they face Ecuador in a Copa America group match on Monday at 2.30 AM IST. The match can be watched live on SonyLIV.
Copa America, Brazil vs Ecuador- Key Player 1
Neymar (Brazil)
Neymar has been a constant in the Brazil lineup and has completed full ninety minutes in all three matches. The PSG forward has been in menacing form scoring two goals and assisting another two so far.
However, the Selecao failed to dominate the proceedings against Colombia in the last match and courtesy of a Casemiro goal in the dying minutes they managed to cross the hurdle this time.
Neymar is likely to play a major role against Ecuador as the host nation wants to send a strong message to the other teams.
Copa America, Brazil vs Ecuador- Key Player 2
Casemiro (Brazil)
Casemiro scored the all-important winner in the last match and is likely to keep his place in the team. Although the manager has experimented with a number of player in the midfield position the Real Madrid midfielder remains the backbone of the current Brazilian side.
Copa America, Brazil vs Ecuador- Key Player 3
Alisson (Brazil)
The Liverpool goalie will come back to starting lineup as Tite has rotated his squad to keep his players fresh for the knockout period.
Alisson was in fine form for his club and even had his name on the score sheet when he went on to score the winner against West Bromwich Albion.
Copa America, Brazil vs Ecuador- Key Player 4
Ayrton Preciado (Ecuador)
Ecuador needs a win from this match to keep them in the hunt and they have to punch above their wait to grind out a result in favour of them.
Ayrton Preciado has shown his qualities in the tournament and can be dangerous on a quick counter.
Copa America, Brazil vs Ecuador- Key Player 5
Leonardo Campana (Ecuador)
Leonardo Campana is still searching for his first goal in the Ecuador colours and will have his chance when they take on Brazil in a do or die game.
