FW Pedri, 6 -- A quiet game on the left after a flurry of impressive performances in recent weeks. Struggled with Atletico's physicality.FW Antoine Griezmann, 5 -- Unable to deliver against his former side. His best chance was a header straight at Oblak just before he was taken off late on.FW Philippe Coutinho, 6 -- Returned from a hamstring injury to little effect in the second half.DF Sergino Dest, 6 -- Replaced the injured Pique and offered an outlet on the right in the final quarter of the game.FW Martin Braithwaite, N/R -- Thrown on late on and had one dipping shot blocked.FW Francisco Trincao, N/R -- Some nice footwork in limited minutes, but his showmanship led to nothing.Mariano Diaz scored his first goal of the season, but Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw at Villarreal in La Liga on Saturday.Diaz had the ball in the net with just two minutes played, heading in Dani Carvajal's cross as Villarreal appealed for offside. In a first half of few chances, Dani Parejo headed over the bar before Carvajal got in behind the Villarreal defence again, only for his touch to let him down.


FW Lucas Vazquez, 6 -- Having performed well at right-back in the absence of Carvajal, Lucas shows the value of having such a versatile, unfussy player in the squad. One enthusiastic first-half press to almost win the ball back was an example of his qualities.FW Eden Hazard, 6 -- Testing positive for the coronavirus was a setback after his screamer against Huesca three weeks ago looked like finally kickstarting Hazard's Real Madrid career. Involved early on, but faded badly and was the first man taken off.FW Mariano Diaz, 7 -- His first start since May 2019, having barely played 90 La Liga minutes in total in the last 18 months. Zidane is reluctant to pick him, but the lack of striking alternatives here meant he had no choice -- and he was rewarded with a very early goal. Later hit the post from an offside position.


Queiroz went back to his original thinking, bringing in his third-choice right-back Luis Orejuela to allow Cuadrado to return to midfield, but there were a number of problems with this. Orejuela is untried at this level and Barrios, the best defensive midfielder in the squad, was subsequently kept out of the starting lineup. Primarily, though, the 4-3-3 was probably too optimistic for the conditions of the Ecuadorian capital.Quito stands 2,800 metres above sea level. Ecuador make full use of the altitude, and pick up most of their points at home. Unacclimatised visitors suffer from the lack of oxygen in the air. It prevents them from playing their normal game, and means that a conservative gameplan is usually advisable.But for all of the worldwide experience of Queiroz, this was new to him, and he had to watch in horror as his defence collapsed and Ecuador raced into a 4-0 lead before the 40-minute mark. Colombia's coach may have wanted to make 11 substitutions. He made four just after Ecuador's fourth goal -- surely the first time that so many changes have been made before half-time in a competitive match.


넥스트벳 The game's lawmakers will approve trials for permanent concussion substitutes when its advisory panel meets on Monday, sources told ESPN.World players' union FIFPRO had called for 10-minute concussion assessment periods in matches, but the International Football Association Board (IFAB) believes supporting player welfare is of paramount importance. Competitions will hold trials as soon as possible, starting in 2021.


Quick, unpredictable and agile, Esposito is excellent on the break and loves looking for space behind the defensive line. Somewhat slight and lightweight, Esposito still poses a real threat with constant movement and a powerful right foot.After a nine-month gap between games due to COVID-19, the United States men's national team finally returned to the pitch this past week with a pair of friendlies in Europe against Wales and Panama. The games, a 0-0 draw with Wales and a 6-2 win over Panama, showcased the growing talent standard and potential with the USMNT talent pool, and built on an eventful and momentous summer for American players abroad.
