How an obscure club from Ecuador is producing players for Arsenal, Chelsea, and the biggest clubs in Europe

Caicedo controls the game from midfield and looks every bit a top Premier League player. A magnificent last-ditch block by Hincapie denies the Caribbean debutants a shock tenth-minute lead. Pacho’s aerial prowess is peerless. When, in increasingly desperate need of attacking, they turn to winger Nilson Angulo, signed by Sunderland six months ago, the 23-year-old’s impact is felt immediately. He takes players on, gets shots off, almost forces an ultimately elusive opener.
