Mexico vs. Ecuador: Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 29

Mexico wins: 18

Draws: 7

Ecuador wins: 4

The most recent encounter represented the 29th time that these two nations have squared off on the international stage.

Despite rarely squaring off in competitive fixtures, Mexico and Ecuador have met on 10 occasions across the last 16 years.

Meanwhile, the last seven encounters have either ended in a draw or been decided by a one-goal margin, the most recent example of the latter being Ecuador prevailing in a five-goal thriller in a friendly back in 2021.

Curiously, two of the last three contests - including a meeting at the 2024 Copa America - have been goalless stalemates, while a friendly in October 2025 was a 1-1 draw.

Ecuador's second-ever game at a World Cup Finals came against Mexico. It took place in 2002, Agustin Delgado netting his nation's first-ever goal at the tournament before Mexico fought back to record a 2-1 victory in Miyagi.
