Joel Ordóñez is next in line for a big move. Recognition finally coming the Ecuadorian’s way.
The SCOUTED-approved trio start again for Ecuador.

🇪🇨 Willian Pacho (2001)
🇨🇴 Piero Hincapié (2002)
🇪🇨 Joel Ordóñez (2004)

In search of their fifth consecutive clean sheet, El Tri are leading Colombia 1-0 away from home.

Corinthians with Yuri Alberto compared to Corinthians without Yuri Alberto are night and day. Perhaps that big January move is coming for the Brazilian. 🇧🇷
