Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Ecuador and Brazil.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 37 Ecuador wins: 2 Draws: 7 Brazil wins: 28 During the 20th century, it was very rarely a contest when Brazil faced Ecuador, as the Selecao did not lose any of the first 20 meetings between the nations, winning 18. In just the first five meetings alone, all of which came in the Copa America, Brazil scored a whopping 32 goals, unsurprisingly winning all five, while one of the two draws in the opening 20 encounters came during Ecuador's home tournament at the 1993 Copa. The gulf between the two has narrowed significantly since, but Ecuador have still struggled to come out on top, never winning on Brazilian soil in their history. La Tricolor's only two wins in this fixture came at home in back-to-back World Cup qualifying campaigns in 2001 and 2004, both of which ended in 1-0 against world-class XI's. In 2001, Ecuador got the better of a Brazil team that included Romario, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho in their front three, and in 2004, adding Kaka, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and Cafu was not enough to turn the tide either, as the two both qualified for those respective World Cups. In the 21st century, Brazil have not enjoyed quite the same level of dominance, but they are still 14 games unbeaten against Ecuador - winning nine, including the most recent home encounter in September 2024, when Rodrygo scored the only goal in a narrow victory in Curitiba.
