Uruguay earned their first points in the tournament by defeating Ecuador 6-5 in a hard fought, even match, where anyone could have taken the win. With three points, the "Celeste" surpassed the "Tri" in the standings, as the Ecuadorians have not scored any points in three games so far.

The "Celeste" ended the second period with a 4-3 advantage, courtesy of goals from Gastón Laduche and Miranda. Jorge Senge scored for the Ecuadorian team.

In the last part of the match, the "Tri" equalized thanks to a penalty taken by Nevarez. Miranda found the net again for Uruguay, the fourth of his personal tally, while Gonzalo Cazet increased the lead to 6-4.

The Ecuadorians narrowed the gap with another one from Cedeño, but it was not enough to tie the game.
