(CNN Spanish) --
The Ecuadorian team has so far had a good participation in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
In their first two matches, Ecuador earned a victory against host Qatar and a draw against the Netherlands, which on paper is the most difficult team in Group A.
With these results, the South American team has added four points in the current World Cup, the same amount as the Netherlands;
Below them are Senegal with three points and Qatar, a team already eliminated that did not accumulate any points.

To begin with, let's remember the games that will be played this Tuesday, November 29 in Group A on the last day:

Ecuador vs.
Senegal - 10 a.m. ET
Netherlands vs.
Qatar - 10 a.m. ET
To go to the round of 16, this is what Ecuador needs:
Win or draw against Senegal.
That is enough and it does not depend on another result;
to find out if he goes first or second, he would have to wait for the result of the Netherlands vs.
Qatar.
If they lose against Senegal, the only result that helps Ecuador to go to the round of 16 is a victory for Qatar over the Netherlands and then review the goal difference and the other tie-break criteria with the Dutch.
What rivals could play him in the round of 16?
The first two places in Group A will face the first two places in Group B, which is made up of England, Iran, the United States and Wales, and where all still have a chance of qualifying for the round of 16.
But let's give an example:
Suppose England and the USA come in first and second respectively in Pool B.
If that happens and Ecuador is in first place in Group A, it would face the United States in the round of 16.
If Ecuador comes second in their group, their round of 16 game would be against England.
