A VIDEO on social media has shown Moises Caicedo's fantastic performance for Ecuador against Chile.
The 19-year-old was sent out on loan on transfer deadline day to Belgian side Beerschot and has been on international duty during the recent domestic break.
On Sunday, the midfielder played 90 minutes for his nation and was thoroughly impressive in the team's 0-0 draw.
La Tri had gone down to ten men after Junior Sornoza was shown a red card, but that did not stop Caicedo from becoming the star of the show.
A video compilation of his performance has surfaced on Twitter and has been shared by his temporary home's Beerschot's account with the message: "Moises Caicedo balling 90 minutes vs Chile last Sunday".
In the video, Caicedo shows his ability to progress the ball up the pitch through forward passing and dribbling ability. On more than one occasion, the teenager takes on multiple players with his quick feet.
Caicedo also appears to have come very closes to scoring on a couple of different occasions. One chance he has is through a terrific header which is only kept out by a top save from the Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, formerly of Barcelona and Manchester City.

The Albion man also forced another good save from Bravo after attempting a shot from 30 yards out. If the keeper had been any slower than Caicedo would have scored his second international goal in spectacular fashion.
The video should fill Albion fans with plenty of confidence for when the midfielder returns to the club from his loan spell.
