Makes two shots
Valencia had two shots (one on goal) in Thursday's 2-1 victory against Germany.
Analysis: Valencia ends the group stage without a goal, managing just two shots in 64 minutes while continuing to struggle in front of goal with 10 total attempts, nine from inside the box and six on target. Despite the lack of finishing, the forward still contributes in other areas, posting a 90 percent pass accuracy, winning 12 duels, and registering 14 touches in the opposition box, showing he remains active and involved in Ecuador's attacking buildup.
Struggles in opener
Valencia recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis: Valencia had a difficult match against Cote d'Ivoire, far from the level he showed in the 2022 World Cup. He had one notable moment, hitting the post from close range on the left side of the goal, but was otherwise unable to get involved, registering just 20 touches in his 77 minutes on the pitch. In a nearly even possession match, Valencia left little imprint on the game, though if he starts their next fixture against Curacao, who conceded seven goals to Germany in their World Cup debut, it will present a more favorable opportunity.
