Uruguay 0-0 Ecuador player ratings as both teams lack the spark to clam three points

Uruguay played out a draw against Ecuador in the World Cup qualifier 2026 game at Estadio Centenario on Tuesday. The match turned out to be a thrilling contest between the two as both the teams lacked the final spark to break the deadlock. Uruguay looked like the dominating team in the game but was mostly thwarted by an Ecuadorian defence.

Uruguay launched a total of 11 shots on goal in a bid to penetrate the Ecuadorian defence but only four were on target and turned out to be more frustrating when a shot also hit the woodwork. On the other hand, Ecuador were a reserve in its approach as it mostly focused on defending and disrupting the structure of Uruguay.
