Barcelona SC’s 1-0 win last Saturday against Liga de Quito at the Rodrigo Paz Delgado Stadium left fans, leaders and those associated with the students devastated.

The Toreador’s triumph meant that the students’ unbeaten run since the inauguration of their stage in 1997 ended thanks to an own goal by José Angulo, which was awarded to Cristian Ortiz.

White fans showed their dissatisfaction with the game of their team, and reproaches were heard from all sectors of Rodrigo Paz.

In extra time, in one of the general games, a group of white fans climbed onto the protective nets, which meant that the end of the game had to be extended, and the referee René Marín delivered objects thrown on the field to the control table on several occasions.

For this reason, the leadership of Quito is awaiting sanctions that can be determined in the Pro League, and Esteban Paz, the leader of the albos, condemned what happened.

We have not yet arranged a meeting on this topic (inconveniences with the bar). We are waiting to analyze the commissioner’s report to see what potential sanctions we will have as an institution and analyze the income accordingly,” said the director in an interview with FootballEcuador.

“Sanctioning a bar is something very ambiguous, how do you choose who to sanction, deciding fairly and responsibly? Without a doubt, an absolutely out of place and disgraceful act that these individuals did, harming the team. In life, you have to know how to win and lose with dignity and respect,” added Paz.

The manager made it known that he “understands” the mood of the fans, but does not justify the actions of a certain section of the fans.

“The feeling and what this kind of defeat produces is understandable, but without a doubt, life hits us much harder than a football game and you have to know how to stand up with your head held high,” concluded Paz. (D)
