The Ecuadorian national team was preparing to face Mexico in the 2026 World Cup, but an electrical storm has delayed the match. The game was scheduled to start at 3:00 Spanish time, but it has now been postponed until further notice.
The electrical storm is a common phenomenon in the region and had already caused delays in other tournament matches. The match between France and Iraq was delayed for over two hours due to a similar storm.
The delay of the match may affect the strategy of the Ecuadorian national team, which is seeking its first win in the tournament. The Ecuadorian team comes from a streak of five games without defeats, with a record of 1W-4D-0L.

The match between Mexico and Ecuador will resume one hour later than scheduled, at 4:00 Spanish time. The Ecuadorian national team is looking to take advantage of this opportunity to score its first points in the tournament.
