Ecuador coach Beca takes responsibility after 0-0 draw with Curaçao

Ecuador national team coach Sebastián Becase said he alone bears responsibility for his side's 0‑0 draw with Curaçao in the second round of Group E at the 2026 World Cup. He lamented the missed opportunity, noting the team deserved more and reaffirmed his full backing of the players.

The result leaves Ecuador in third place with just one point, intensifying the need for a win against Germany on 25 June to stay in contention for the knockout stage. Becase also praised goalkeeper Eloy Roome, who made a record 15 saves and was named player of the match, and stressed the squad’s unity despite the setback.
