Uruguay extended their unbeaten run to four matches with a 2-1 win over Ecuador despite missing a few key players.
Uruguay took the lead when Coates scored from a corner 12 minutes into proceedings.
Felipe Caicedo equalised shortly before half time but Uruguay didn’t waste time getting the lead back.They scored in the first-half stoppage time when Rolan turned in a shot that Carlos Sanchez initially hit goalwards.They then dug in and held on to that lead till the bitter end.
They are now sitting pretty second in the table behind Brazil – having made that their eighth successive home win.Pretty impressive.
