USA 0 – Ecuador 1

October 11, 2011 by US Soccer Players

United States National Team, USA soccer, us soccer players

The United States fell to a second-half goal from Ecuador at Red Bull Arena on Tuesday night.  With Ecuador coming off a World Cup qualifying win over Venezuela, they brought a mostly first choice team that had a tough time cracking the United States defense in the first-half.  With US coach Jurgen Klinsmann making four substitutions at halftime and eventually using all six, Ecuador faced a different version of the US when they capitalized in the 79th minute.  Jaime Ayovi scored the game’s only goal, with Maximo Banguera picking up the shutout. 

“It’s crazy to see, and you may disagree, but since the Mexico game we haven’t given up a ton of chances," US goalkeeper Tim Howard said. "It’s hard because one goal kills the game so it looks terrible, but we’ve given up four goals in five games and that’s not the end of the world. We’re not giving teams chances, and that’s a positive thing for me as a goalkeeper. We’re creating chances too, they’re just not falling."
