Venezuela vs Ecuador ended in a 0-0 draw for the CONMEBOL 2026 World Cup Qualifiers [VIDEO]

Hace un año

Venezuela and Ecuador played a very tight match at the Monumental Stadium in Maturin and divided the points.

On Thursday, Ecuador held Venezuela to a 0-0 draw in Maturin, halting their momentum in South American qualifying for the World Cup-2026. The team coached by Spaniard Felix Sanchez Bas put the hosts in trouble at the Estadio Monumental on the fifth matchday of the qualifiers.

An early goal-scoring move by José Cifuentes in the 5th minute was disallowed for offside by a teammate at the behest of the VAR, in a decision highly questioned by the visitors.

Despite conceding the draw, Venezuela reached eight points in five matches, equaling its best pre-World Cup start achieved on the road to Brazil 2014. This is a significant improvement for the only South American country that has never played in a World Cup.

Ecuador remains with five points, and next Tuesday, they will face Chile. Meanwhile, the Vinotinto will face Peru in Lima, which earlier lost 2-0 against Bolivia in La Paz and has only one point out of a possible 15.
