Julián Quiñones opened the scoring for Mexico in the 22nd minute, powering a shot into the top corner after cutting inside in the box after a transition. Nine minutes later, Raúl Jiménez doubled Mexico's lead pouncing on an error from Joel Ordóñez before a give and go with Quiñones saw him rifling a shot into the corner of the net.

Ecuador were unable to trouble the co-hosts throughout the match, with Piero Hincapié being sent off in injury time for covering his mouth in a confrontational situation.
