With referee controversy, heart and speed, the ‘Tri’ beats the ‘Reggae Boyz’ and makes things very interesting in Group B.

Ecuador defeated Jamaica 3-1 in a dramatic duel to turn Group B of the Copa América 2024 upside down and with a ‘Tri’ that goes for the ‘Tri’ on the last date: a score that Mexico regrets.

Reggae took a while to sound in Las Vegas, with Caicedo and Sarmiento who stole the plug to connect the speakers with Caribbean music with excellence. Both Ecuadorians surpassed those led by Hallgrimsson to such an extent that not even the quick possessions bothered the South Americans (as they did in a certain part with Mexico).

To further complicate things for the Concacaf team, Piero Hincapié at 13′ tried to send a cross from the left, but the ball turned into an incredible effect to go to the goal and beat goalkeeper Waite, Kasey Palmer took the shame. of the official scoring of the own goal. The best goal so far in the Copa América had just fallen, unintentional, yes, but in the same way, it gave the ‘Tri’ the advantage.

Ecuador dominated, but it was not until the end of the first half when a handball in the area allowed Kendry Párez, via penalty, to extend the South American lead.

Hallgrimsson made a much more than evident change in his team in the second half, with some Jamaicans completely fresh and dedicated to the front. Michail Antonio crowned the hope with a goal in stoppage time at 54′.

The controversy arose because the central defender did not score a possible penalty in favor of Jamaica, which instead suffered with the Ecuadorian speed and Alan Miranda put the finishing touch on the score in compensation, which makes the ‘Tri’ now aim strongly and straight to ‘Tri’ in a match against Mexico that seems very dramatic to close the group.
