JAKARTA - The second Party of the 2024 Copa America from Group B will bring together Ecuador vs Jamaica on Thursday, June 27, 2024, morning WIB. The match which took place at the Allegiant Stadium will be the moment both teams hunt for their first points.
The match is also predicted to run fiercely because both teams come together with similar suffering. Ecuador and Jamaica are both the teams that failed to gain points in the first match of the 2024 Copa America group.
This means that the Ecuador vs Jamaica meeting is like looking for an opportunity to open the hope of qualifying for the knockout phase.
Ecuador on paper was actually the team that was seeded when they met Venezuela in the first match. Ecuador managed to make the advantage first, but then the situation turned around after the captain, Enner Valencia, got a red card in the 22nd minute.

After appearing with 10 players, Ecuador was actually bombarded by Venezuela and ended up conceding two goals through Jhonder Cadiz and Eduard Bello in the second half. The result cost them three early points.
In addition, this defeat is the third time in a row for Ecuador to become a team that has always lost in the Copa America opener in the last three editions.
With this complicated situation, it is not impossible that Ecuador will instill a strong determination to rise when it meets Jamaica in the second match.
Jamaica is also no better in fact. They lost in the first match of the group stage against Mexico. Reggae Boys lost 0-1 to El Tri with Gerardo Arteaga's single goal.
The defeat also ended Reggae Boyz's three consecutive wins. The loss of moments in the inaugural party made them continue to seek their first win during their participation in the Copa America.
If you look at statistical records, this meeting could be more in favor of Ecuador. The reason is, Jamaica has no good record in their history in the Copa America.
Up to the three editions they have participated in with a total of seven matches being played, they always lose. This situation could be an opportunity for Jamaica, as well as a threat for the revival of Reggae Boyz.
