Bayer Leverkusen’s young star Piero Hincapie, just 22 years old, has achieved a remarkable milestone as he captains the Ecuadorian national team for the first time. During his 41st international match, Hincapie proudly donned the captain’s armband, leading his team to a solid 0-0 draw against Uruguay. After the match, he took to Instagram, expressing his pride and commitment: „Wearing the captain’s armband is a dream come true.“ This recognition marks a significant leap in his burgeoning career.
Hincapie has shown exceptional form, having played every minute of Ecuador’s World Cup qualifying campaign thus far, helping his team secure five points and conceding only one goal. As the Bayer defender prepares to return to club duty, fans are eager to see if he can replicate this impressive defensive strength in the Bundesliga.
