Mexico has been the better side in the first half of their friendly against Ecuador, with Pablo Barrera looking like the best player on the pitch by a longshot, but Michael Antonio Arroyo of Ecuador has managed to turn the game on its head, scoring an absolute stunner to level the match at 1-1 when it looked like Mexico was sure to be the team who scored the second goal.
Mexico Vs. Ecuador 2011: Michael Antonio Arroyo Goal Levels Match
It was a very direct goal, with a long pass coming out of the back to start the move. Arroyo got onto the ball around 40 yards from goal and dribbled forward and to his right, setting himself up with a shooting opportunity. Mexico’s defense was poor on the play and gave Arroyo entirely too much room. His strike was an absolute stunner from 25 yards out, giving Guillermo Ochoa almost no chance to make a save. Though, I’m sure the Mexican media will find a reason to blame him and write columns about how Luis Michel should wear the No. 1 shirt for El Tri.
