Sent off in final outing
Hincapie picked up a red card and was sent off in the 95th minute of Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Mexico. He registered six crosses (zero accurate) and one corner before his removal.
Analysis: Following Miguel Almiron, Hincapie became the second player of the tournament to be dismissed under the new rule, sent off for covering his mouth towards Mexico forward Santiago Gimenez. It was a harsh way to end what had been a good performance as he had been dependable at the back before his dismissal with three tackles, one interception, one block and six clearances. He ends the tournament without a goal contribution from three shots and three chances created, but leaves with a strong defensive record of 12 tackles, four interceptions, 14 clearances, two blocks and one clean sheet across four games.
Sends three crosses
Hincapie registered three crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Thursday's 2-1 victory versus Germany.
Analysis: Hincapie delivered a strong performance on the same day his permanent move to Arsenal was announced, helping limit Germany to just one goal while winning a duel, making two clearances, and sending in two crosses. The defender started all three group stage matches and proved to be a reliable presence for Ecuador, totaling 19 duels won, six aerials, nine tackles, eight clearances, and one clean sheet, showing how well he fits into the back line.
