Ecuador face Jamaica at the Allegiant Stadium on Wednesday (June 26) in another round of their 2024 CONMEBOL Copa America group stage. La Tri kicked off their continental campaign on the wrong note and will look to get their first points on the board this week.
They lost 2-1 to Venezuela in their opening game, with Jeremy Sarmiento opening the scoring in the first-half following a red card to captain Enner Valencia before their opponents turned the game on its head after the restart.
Meanwhile, Jamaica also suffered defeat in their group opener at the weekend. They lost 1-0 to Mexico in their first group game, conceding the sole goal of the game midway through the second half, managing just one shot on target all game.

The visitors sit rock-bottom in group B with zero points but should advance to the knockouts with maximum points in their final two group games.
