Brazil and Ecuador battled to a tense 0-0 draw in Guayaquil on June, 2025, during a crucial South American World Cup qualifier. The match, held at Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha, saw both sides struggle to break the deadlock, with Brazil unable to capitalize on their few clear chances despite a promising start under new coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Vinicius Jr. came closest for Brazil in the first half, forcing a strong save from Ecuador’s goalkeeper Gonzalo Valle. Ecuador nearly took the lead in the second half, but Nilson Angulo’s effort was ruled offside. Brazil pressed late, with Richarlison and Casemiro both testing Valle, but the Ecuadorian defense held firm.
This result leaves Ecuador in second place in the CONMEBOL standings with 24 points, moving them closer to World Cup qualification. Brazil, now in fourth with 22 points, faces added pressure ahead of their next match against Paraguay.
