Ecuador vs Japan: Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time and team news for Copa America clash


ECUADOR and Japan are a win away from the Copa America knockout stages, despite both having underwhelming campaigns so far.

The Ecuadorians have a horrific record in this competition, having not beaten a single South American team at the Copa America since 2001.

And they are without a point after a 4-0 loss to Uruguay was followed up by a 2-1 defeat against Alexis Sanchez and Chile.

Japan are flying the flag for Asia after Qatar’s elimination but also lost their first game 4-0, against Chile, before being forced to settle for a 2-2 draw against Uruguay by a series of controversial VAR decisions.

But both teams will still qualify as one of two best third placed sides with a win after Paraguay came third in Group B with just two points.

What time does Ecuador vs Japan kick off?

This Copa America clash will take place on Tuesday, June 25 at 12am UK time.

In Brazil, that is 8pm on Monday, June 24.

The match will be held at Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte.

What TV channel is Ecuador vs Japan on and can I live stream it?
