- Goals by Zambrano and Vera.
The CONMEBOL Copa América Futsal 2026™ is beginning to draw to a close. The sixth day of action opened with the clash between Ecuador and Bolivia.
La Tri opened the scoring with a strong transition from defense to attack: Bolivia had a couple of shots on goal and, on the counterattack, Bryan Zambrano scored the opening goal of the match.
In the second half, thanks to a great individual play and a one-two with Mercado, Vera sealed the result.
Ecuador earned its first victory in the tournament and finished in ninth place at the CONMEBOL Copa América Futsal 2026™.
