Two corners as a sub
Nilson Angulo generated one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Curacao.
Analysis: Angulo came from the bench with 20 minutes to go and tried to help Ecuador find a late winner against Curacao. This was the second game of the tournament in which he came from the bench and, in total, has taken three corners. He put his only shot of the tournament so far on target to contribute to the record number of saves set by Eloy Room.
Increasing role for Ecuador
Angulo is aiming to earn a spot in Ecuador's offense following his participation in recent EPL and international action.
Analysis: Angulo's recent form makes him a player to follow heading into the tournament. The winger recovered from a physical issue shortly before the end of the club campaign and subsequently earned starts in Sunderland's final two matches, a positive sign regarding both fitness and confidence. He has also been impactful with Ecuador, scoring in two of the team's last three warm-up games. His profile is built around speed, dribbling and off-ball movement, making him a natural fit as a wide attacker. With competition for minutes still open, Angulo has a realistic chance to carve out a meaningful role if he remains productive.
