World Cup: Flamengo player could hit scoring milestone for Brazil | OneFootball

Ecuador National Team faces Mexico for a spot in the World Cup round of 16

Ecuador, with Gonzalo Plata in the starting lineup, takes on Mexico from 10 p.m. Brasília time this Tuesday (30). Therefore, the Flamengo player could score his tenth goal for the national team, since he netted his ninth against Germany to help qualify the team for the World Cup round of 32.

The goal Plata scored against the Germans was also the first he has ever scored in World Cups. That is because the forward did not score at all during the 2022 World Cup, when he was not yet part of Mengo’s squad.

What else can Plata achieve with Ecuador?

Besides his tenth goal, the red-and-black player could help Ecuador qualify for the round of 16 with his first assist in the competition. In fact, the winger has not yet set up any teammates in the World Cups he has played.

Since when has Plata been part of the Ecuador National Team?

Plata’s first call-up to represent his country came in 2019, when the youngster was 19 years old. The forward then made his debut in a friendly against Peru, but only found the net in his second match, against Bolivia.

Since then, the player has been a regular presence in the team. As such, the forward played an important role in the South American World Cup Qualifiers campaign, a tournament in which the Ecuadorians achieved a historic second-place finish.

Where to watch Mexico vs Ecuador?

Mexico and Ecuador face off at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico. Fans can watch the match broadcast on SporTV (pay TV), Globo (free-to-air TV) and Cazé TV (YouTube).

And when does Carrascal play?

Jorge Carrascal is available for Colombia to face Ghana this Friday (03). Kickoff is in Kansas City, in the United States, in the round of 32. The Flamengo midfielder hopes to make his first appearance in the tournament.

What is Flamengo’s situation?

While some are playing in the World Cup, Mengão’s main squad is already back in action during preseason training in Portugal. The team is preparing to play three friendlies during this period.
