Spaniard Felix Sanchez: Ecuador manager Sebastian Beccacece has backed his players to make history as they bid for a first ever away victory over Uruguay in World Cup qualifiers.

Ecuador are currently fifth in the 10-team South American zone standings with 12 points from nine games, three points behind third-placed Uruguay.

"Ecuador have had a hard time winning (in Uruguay) and we are going there with the hope and expectation of achieving that for the first time," Beccacece said on the eve of the clash in Montevideo.
