The start of the friendly match between Ecuador and Guatemala suffered a small delay, the goalkeeper of the Central American team had to change his jumper due to the similarity of colors with the main uniform of the Ecuadorian team commanded by Sebastián Becaccece.
Nicholas Hagen removed his gloves a few seconds before the initial whistle, which generated surprise among the fans of both teams. It was later learned that the uniform chosen was very similar to the tricolor team’s clothing, so he had to wear a silver-colored sweatshirt.
Guatemala is Ecuador’s last test before its debut in the 2026 North America World Cup, the tricolor team will face Ivory Coast, Germany and Curacao in the largest national team event on the planet.
