Mundial Sub-20

Ecuador, con un histórico tercer lugar (0-1 t.s.)

Ecuador terminó su participación en la Copa Mundial de la FIFA Polonia 2019 con un histórico tercer lugar luego de vencer a Italia (0-1) en el duelo por el bronce. Richard Mina anotó el gol de la victoria al final del primer periodo del tiempo extra. En un tiro libre, un rival peinó la pelota y le dejó la pelota servida al defensor, quien no dudó en mandar la pelota al fondo de las redes. El partido, que finalizó sin goles su tiempo regular, se disputó este 14 de junio en Gdynia.

Es una medalla bien merecida para nosotros. Tenemos una generación fantástica y nos hemos ganado esta recompensa que confirma que somos uno de los mejores equipos del mundo. Mis jugadores fueron muy valientes esta noche.

Jorge Célico, seleccionador de Ecuador
