In a tightly contested warmup match for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Ecuador managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Mexico on Tuesday in Guadalajara. The game saw early action as Germán Berterame put Mexico ahead in the third minute with a swift strike. However, Ecuador responded with determination, and Jordy Alcívar leveled the score in the 20th minute through a well-executed penalty kick. This result extended Mexico’s winless streak to four matches, following a disappointing 4-0 loss to Colombia last Saturday. Mexico’s last victory dates back to July 6, when they defeated an alternate United States squad in the Gold Cup final. The team will now look to break this streak in November when they face Uruguay. Meanwhile, Ecuador, which finished second in South America’s World Cup qualifiers behind Argentina, continues to build momentum after a 1-1 draw against the United States last Friday. Both teams are using these matches to fine-tune their strategies ahead of the 2026 World Cup, where Mexico will co-host with Canada and the United States.
