Argentina v Ecuador Live Commentary & Result, 09/10/2020, WC Qualification South America

Argentine Gustavo Alfaro is tasked with defeating his home nation as coach of Ecuador’s national side in his first match overseeing La Tricolor. The side have won three of their last five matches – all friendlies; though one of those two defeats was a 6-1 drubbing to tonight’s opponents. 

Lionel Scaloni and Argentina will look to get their quest for a place in the World Cup started on the right foot with a win in Buenos Aires – just under one year since they last took to the pitch; a 2-2 draw with Uruguay. Home form is exceptionally important in the marathon of CONMEBOL qualifying, so the Albiceleste will be under pressure to get a result right from the off.
