In the recently concluded Copa América quarterfinal, Ecuador equalized in stoppage time against Argentina, forcing a 1-1 draw and a subsequent penalty shootout. Ultimately, Ecuador lost 1-3 on penalties, resulting in a 2-4 aggregate defeat and their tournament exit.
Throughout the match, Chelsea midfielder Caicedo played the entire game for Ecuador, putting on a standout performance. Here are some highlights from his stats:
66 touches on the ball. Attempted 43 passes with an 81% success rate, creating 1 goal-scoring opportunity;
16 ground duels attempted, 8 won; 2 aerial duels attempted, 1 won;
5 fouls committed, 6 successful tackles, 1 interception, and 1 clearance.
It’s worth mentioning that Caicedo was not among the first four takers in the penalty shootout. Unfortunately, Ecuador’s first two spot kicks were saved by the brilliant Martínez, sealing their elimination in the quarterfinals.
