La Tricolor have eight points and a plus-2 goal differential, one point better than sixth-place Brazil. The top six nations automatically qualify for the 2026 World Cup, with a seventh team going to the inter-confederation playoffs.
Brazil stumbled out of the 2024 Copa America at the quarterfinal round on penalties to Uruguay, all after losing three-straight World Cup qualifiers in late 2023: away to Uruguay and Colombia and home to Argentina.
Ecuador, meanwhile, have run up three wins and two draws after losing at Argentina to start qualifying. The 11 points they’d have without the points deduction would have them fourth, six points above the playoff spot.
