Emelec will hope to end their run of poor results and return to winning ways when they welcome Orense SC to the George Capwell Stadium this afternoon for the second leg of the Pro League.
The millionaire’s last triumph was for the Copa Sudamericana, away to Sporting Cristal (1-0) on July 12 in Lima, since which began a streak of four games between the Pro League and the international tournament with two draws and two defeats.
Those led by Hernán Torres come to this game with the anger of being eliminated in the cup against Defensa y Justicia with a 3-1 aggregate score, after losing at home (2-1) and away to Argentina (1-0).
We deserved a little more, but unfortunately we gave up the game in Ecuador and that cost us qualification, said defender Luis Fernando León upon the arrival of the team from Argentina.
Without the Cup, the “obligation” of the Blues is victory in the second phase of the championship there, in which they are fourteenth with only a point difference above the relegation zone.
“We are aware of what we are playing for and where we want to go, for that we have to go step by step,” said León. (D)
