Two coaches face familiar foes

ECUADOR and Honduras coaches Reinaldo Rueda and Luis Suarez will both face their old sides as the two group outsiders look to get their first points of the World Cup when they meet in Curitiba tonight.

Rueda's Ecuador were beaten 2-1 by Switzerland in their opening Group E match, thanks to Haris Seferovic's stoppage-time winner.

The Colombian lamented his side's lack of killer instinct in front of goal against the Swiss, but has insisted he won't make any changes for the game against the country he led at the last World Cup.

"There is no time to cry. We have another game in front of us and we need to move on," he said.

"We know that Honduras are difficult opponents ... and it will be an intense match."

Former Manchester City striker Felipe Caicedo will continue to lead the line up front with Enner Valencia and Manchester United's Antonio Valencia in support.

Suarez, meanwhile, guided Ecuador to their best ever showing at the World Cup when they reached the last 16 in 2006.

Honduras were easily swept aside 3-0 by France on Sunday after having Wilson Palacios sent off just before half time. But Suarez is confident his side can get themselves back into contention in the group.

"We will have to prepare for a very important 90 minutes and we have to play better than against France, that is obvious," he said. – AFP
