Ecuador will face Morocco in a friendly this Friday (27). Kickoff is at 5:15 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain. A forward for Flamengo, Gonzalo Plata will be available to coach Sebastián Beccacece.
The match will be broadcast on SporTV, a subscription channel. In addition, Coluna do Fla, through its social media platforms, will keep Flamengo fans informed about every detail of the match, which could feature the club’s forward on the field.
Galindez; Franco, Ordonez, Pacho and Hincapie; Yeboah, Caicedo, Vite and Angulo; Enner Valencia and Plata.
Even without holding a spot in Flamengo coach Leonardo Jardim’s starting lineup, Plata has established himself as an undisputed starter for the Ecuador national team. As Sebastián Beccacece is expected to field his strongest lineup against Morocco, the coach should pair the Flamengo player with Pachuca (MEX) striker Enner Valencia in attack.
It is worth noting that Ecuador arrive in the Spanish capital with impressive numbers. Under Sebastián Beccacece, the team has played 16 matches, kept 12 clean sheets, and conceded only four goals in total. For the upcoming fixtures, the expectation is to maintain this strong form and build momentum with more wins in the final tests before the World Cup.
Morocco have a few new faces in the squad. Coach Mohamed Ouahbi called up forwards Gessime and Zabiri, who won the Under-20 World Cup under his leadership, as well as midfielder El Mourabet, one of Strasbourg’s standout players this season. Other familiar names remain in the squad, such as Hakimi, Bono, and Brahim Díaz.
