Liga de Quito awaits the winner of the key between Barcelona Sporting Club and Deportivo Cuenca to dispute the title of the friendly home run Champions Cup Edgardo Bauza, former Argentine coach of the Liguistas with whom they won the Copa Libertadores (2008), the Recopa Sudamericana (2010 ) and on two occasions the national tournament (2007 and 2010).

“I did not start the fight on the field, I did not kick anyone in the head or take anyone’s shoulder out,” said César Farías, coach of the national champion, Aucas, dissatisfied with the actions of defender Ricardo Adé for a hard tackle of the defender against Johnny Quiñónez a week ago, in the League (Q) victory over Aucas.
In another controversial action, Adé was sent off and a brawl broke out on the pitch. Before, the Haitian and Roberto Tuka Ordóñez had a skirmish after a claim by the eastern attacker against his former partner.
In the return game, Aucas released all his artillery to even out the series. Goalkeeper Alexander Domínguez confirmed his role in this clash by saving a penalty from Colombian striker Michael Rangel.
With the ticket to the final in hand, Liga (Q) awaits the winner between Barcelona and D. Cuenca. The canaries won 1-0 against the morlacos with a penalty from midfielder Gabriel Crazy Cortez, last Saturday at the Monumental Banco Pichincha stadium.
