Date 4 of the CONMEBOL Qualifiers is coming towards the 2026 World Cup in Mexico, the United States and Canada. After what happened the previous day, Argentina came out on top with an ideal score: 9 points out of 9 at stake, with 5 goals a in favor and none against, showing that it continues on a good streak after winning the World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
A particular case is that of Ecuador. So far, they have won two games in these Qualifiers but they barely appear in the table with three points, placing them in 7th position.

The reason is one reduction of three units imposed by FIFA to Byron Castillo for being poorly aligned during eight games in the last Qualifiers due to having been born in Colombia and not in Ecuador.
FIFA decided not to take points from Ecuador in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers so as not to alter that table, but it did do so towards the next World Cup, that of 2026. That is the reason why Félix Sánchez Bas’s team does not have units so far despite the recent victory.
In this way, we review the updated position table after the first double date of the Qualifiers:
