Hosts Ecuador draw 2-2 with Uruguay in Women's Copa America opener
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox An 78th-minute goal from substitute Emily Rosa Arias Espinales earned hosts Ecuador a 2-2 draw with Uruguay in their Group A Women's Copa America opener at the Complejo Independiente del Valle in Quito on Friday. Ecuador found themselves a goal down inside 11 minutes after Belen Aquino whipped a shot from outside the box. They then conceded a penalty in the 53rd minute when Danna Pesantez fouled Pilar Gonzalez, with Pamela Gonzalez stepping up to make it 2-0 for Uruguay after lashing a shot into the top right corner. Yannel Correa's own goal reduced Ecuador's deficit before Espinales finished neatly with a low shot to level the score and secure a point. Ecuador pushed for the winner but Uruguay goalkeeper Agustina Sanchez stood tall with a pair of crucial interventions, keeping out a Nayely Bolanos effort and a Karen Flores strike in the closing minutes. Ecuador had the lion's share of possession and six shots on target, three more than Uruguay, but could not find a way past Sanchez, with Stefany Cedeno and Milagro Barahona also coming close. Ecuador next face Peru on Tuesday, while Uruguay play Argentina. Group A is rounded out by Chile, who open against Peru on Saturday. Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay and Venezuela are in Group B.
