How to watch Ecuador vs Senegal in 2017 Men’s World Cup, Group … – Once A Metro

Group F is wide open, but for Ecuador there is only one, simple result required: win this game.

Ecuador can't win Group F, but it will finish either second or third if it wins this match against Senegal - and either way it would qualify for the knockout rounds, since a win would, at the very least, put it amongthe top four third-placed teams in the group stage. A draw or a loss sees Ecuador go home early from the U-20 World Cup: only the win will do.

For Senegal, this is a must-not-lose game. A tie would be sufficient to see it through to the knockout rounds: if Saudi Arabia loses or draws against the USA, it would give Senegal second place in the group; it will at least be good enough for third in Group F, and four points and a positive goal difference will see the team into the round of 16 as a third-placed group-stage qualifier if necessary. The win, of course, would be better, not least because it might see Senegal win the group (if the USA doesn't beat Saudia Arabia, or Saudi Arabia doesn't beat the USA by at least three goals). But the tie will do.

What cannot happen is a result that sees both these teams into the next round. A loss for either side will see it eliminated from the tournament, and the draw eliminates Ecuador. This is an early knockout game for both teams. One team will definitely be out of this World Cup at the final whistle, and the other will definitely be moving on to the round of 16.
