How to watch Mexico vs. Ecuador: FOX (English) | Telemundo (Spanish)
Kickoff Time: 9:00 p.m. ET
Venue: Estadio Banorte, Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico vs. Ecuador could end up being one of the more intriguing matches in the Round of 32.
Mexico was one of the more impressive teams throughout the group stage with a 3-0 record and won Group A as a result. Even more remarkable was the fact that El Tri outscored their opponents 6-0 across those three matches.
Meanwhile, Ecuador was able to qualify for the Round of 32 after knocking off Germany in its final group-stage match. La Tricolor had an up-and-down showing in the group stage but produced a heavy shot volume in those three matches.
El Tri has held the advantage in the all-time series with 17 wins across 28 meetings. The two sides have only met once in the World Cup, which came in 2002 when Mexico came away with a 2-1 win in the group stage.
In five World Cup appearances, Ecuador has reached the Round of 32 only once, coming in 2006. Meanwhile, Mexico has reached at least the Round of 16 in seven of the last eight World Cups.
