On Tuesday Barcelona SC defeated Mushuc Runa 3-2 in a friendly duel for the ‘Afternoon of Ponchito, where those from Tungurahua presented their 2023 squad.

But the main novelty of the party was the performance of the Astillero club on the stage located in the town of Echaleche, an aspiration of Luis Alfonso Chango, president for life of the indigenous squad.
Due to the fact that the stadium does not have artificial lighting, due to official LigaPro duels, Mushuc Runa has not been able to be home to teams like bullfighters and Emelec.
Prior to the friendly commitment, Chango went to Alfaro Moreno where he thanked him for having accepted the invitation to be part of the presentation of his squad. It should be remembered that the Ponchito team was a rival bullfighter in the last Yellow Night.
“Alfaro Moreno, it’s a pleasure, a pleasure, it was time to have you at the Mushuc Runa stadium that welcomes you with open arms,” said the Tungurahua manager.
“Today (Tuesday) we have one of the greatest leaders of Ecuadorian soccer. We are sure that later we will have him to play a match for the three points (LigaPro) very soon”, added Chango.
The leader insisted on his happiness for the duel carried out, which was broadcast on social networks by the new channel mushucTV.
“I am very happy because the dream and desire we had was for Barcelona SC to play in our stadium and this has come true. It is a very important match for everyone, because we have fought to have them here (the bullfighters) for many years ”, he concluded. (D)
