Chile is coming off a 1-0 win over Paraguay.

Ecuador is coming off a narrow victory over Venezuela and is in third place with 20 points. A win would take them to 23 points and move them six points behind fourth-place Colombia, with only 12 points left to play for.

Chile is currently in sixth place in the standings with 16 points after the results, but a win would move them back to fourth place and put them just one point behind their rivals.

Chile and Ecuador face each other in an important match that could make the difference when it comes to the last dates of the Conmebol. We begin with the coverage of the game.

Toluca's Michael Estrada has not worked with his club, but he has worked with the national team, where he has become the Tricolor's goal man with five goals, some of them of high relevance that have translated into victories that have placed them at the top of the Conmebol qualifiers.

As the years go by, the importance of having a player like Alexis Sanchez in the attacking front, who has just been key in the victory against Paraguay by participating in the goal that went past goalkeeper Silva, is becoming more and more important.

22 Alexander Domínguez, 3 Piero Hincapié, 2 Félix Torres, 7 Christian Geovanny Cruz Tapia, 6 Byron Castillo, 16 Jeremy Sarmiento, 23 Moises Caicedo, 8 Carlos Gruezo, 13 Djorkaeff Reasco, 18 Ayrton Preciado, 19 Gonzalo Plata.

With its resurgence, Chile has moved into fourth place with 16 points thanks to its better goal difference, while Ecuador is one rung higher, but with 20 points.

Ecuador's good qualification could be better if they had a good performance as visitors, a matter that has cost them too much and where they have only scored one point out of the last nine possible by tying with Colombia, but losing with Venezuela and Uruguay; last Thursday they won by the minimum against the Vinotinto team.

Three games ago it seemed that Chile would be almost eliminated from the qualifiers for Qatar, but the Andean team has been on a winning streak with three consecutive victories, the last of them last Thursday against Paraguay, which moved them into the top four places and, at a direct rival, winning will be the most important thing.

The Chile vs Ecuador match will be played at the San Carlos de Apoquindo Stadium, in San Carlos, Chile. The kick-off is scheduled at 7:15 pm ET.
