What is the U.S. and Ecuador's record in the FIFA U-20 World Cup?
This is the 22nd time in the competition for the USMNT. This is the third time in a row in which they have reached the Quarter final stage. The team's best finish in history took place in 1989, when they ended the competition in fourth place.
This is the fourth time for Ecuador in this competition, and it has turned out to be their best one ever. La Tri has already done better than in the 2001 and 2011 editions, where they reached the Round of 16. Whatever this team accomplishes in this edition will go down in history, all they can do is add to it by reaching the next stage.
How did the U.S. and Ecuador get to this stage of the FIFA U-20 World Cup?
The USMNT made it to the last eight after a slow start, when Ukraine beat them with a 2-1 score. Tab Ramos' men bounced back with victories against Nigeria (2-0) and Qatar (1-0), grabbing Group D's second place. The Americans saw their stock rise when they came from behind to beat France with a 3-2 score in the Round of 16.
On the other hand, Ecuador made a late surge in Group B to claim a spot as one of the best third-placed teams. La Tri drew its first game against Japan (1-1) and went on to lose against Italy. Their 1-0 win against Mexico was enough for them to book a place in the last 16. In their first KO stage match, Ecuador destroyed Uruguay's hopes by beating them with a 3-1 score.
