The Colombia team adds another infamous record after their fall to Ecuador. The national team had never received two consecutive wins in qualifying. This time they lost 6-1 against Ecuador, at the Casa Blanca Stadium in Quito.
After the shameful defeat, the main soccer analysts in the country came out to try to explain what happened to the eleventh tricolor.
According to sports journalist Carlos Antonio Vélez, a large part of the blame lies with the players of the Colombian National Team, because “the handbrake was noticed” and he also said: “Let the coach go, but not alone.”
The analyst considered that the win is not normal and is suspicious and rare. He assured that the Colombian eleventh is full of players from small teams.
“We are full of players from small teams and that’s how they behave. Without hierarchy or category. Losing by a landslide and hugging the rival? ”, The journalist trilled.
For Vélez, the blame is also on the past trial of José Pékerman, ensuring that Colombia is condemned to “intermediate places.”
Those of us who want to win championships are condemned, not to beat the greats, celebrate intermediate places and qualify at the point of victories against the eliminated as in the last three qualifying rounds.
For his part, Iván Mejía wrote on his Twitter account about the defeat of Colombia assuring that “Ecuador was a hurricane before a very poor Colombia” and said that national team was seen “Confused on the bench and denatured, without soul and without game on the court.”
He insisted that the Portuguese helmsman could stop being the coach very soon, assuring that “Queiroz does not light candles in December.”
The journalist also said that it is an institutional crisis and a “withered process” that was seen in Ecuador.
“The senior team is a shame. There is nothing to highlight in their last games. It is an institutional crisis, withered processes, lack of leadership and talent to find solutions. Soccer and the country need a total change ”.
For Antonio Casal, the culprits are those who “brought” Carlos Querizo and said that the coach is “confused” just like the players.
Colombia was sunk in seventh place in the standings and missed the possibility of finishing the year in the qualifying zone. Now all eyes are on Queiroz, regarding his possible resignation or dismissal from the national team.

At minute 13 Colombia saw the first yellow card of the match. A foul by midfielder Jefferson Lerma on Moisés Caicedo conditioned the combined coffee. If he is called up again with the Colombia National Team, the midfielder of England’s Bournemouth, who had already received a yellow card against Uruguay, will miss the match against Brazil.
The Ecuadorian 3-0 arrived in the 32nd minute after a late reaction in a loss of the ball over the middle of the court, A situation that the local quickly took advantage of to enter the left wing with Ángel Mena, who assisted Michael Estrada to make the game 3-0.
