Caicedo registered one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis:
Caicedo contributed from midfield on the defensive end with a couple of tackles and interceptions, coming close to a clean sheet before Amad Diallo scored a 90th-minute winner. Going forward, he left his mark from midfield through set pieces and throughout the match, though his efforts did not result in a direct contribution. Caicedo is a crucial figure for Ecuador and his creative upside from midfield should have more room to show in their next match against Curacao, who lost 7-1 to Germany in their opener and are the smallest country to ever qualify for the World Cup.
