Argentina, the current world champions and winners of the Copa America, will play Ecuador in the last eight of the event at NRG Stadium in Houston on Thursday. They will be trying to keep their perfect record in the United States.
The Argentine national team entered the America’s Cup as one of the top contenders and has certainly lived up to that reputation. Lionel Scaloni’s team displayed flawless performance in the group stage, defeating Canada (2-0), Chile (1-0), and Peru (2-0). With a perfect record, they confidently advanced to the quarter-finals.
Ecuador was not initially considered one of the top five contenders to win the America’s Cup. However, they defied expectations and made it to the quarter-finals. Despite a disappointing 1-2 loss to Venezuela in the first round, Felix Sanchez Bas’ team faced a challenging task. However, they managed to turn things around with an impressive 3-1 victory over Jamaica and a goalless draw with Mexico. These results allowed them to secure a spot in the quarter-finals, finishing in second place.
