Liga de Quito needed just one to beat Independiente del Valle 2-0 this Saturday night, in a match of the 12th round of the second stage of the Pro League.

With this result, the university players have 24 points and are the leaders in this part of the competition and have overtaken Barcelona SC, which has 22, and this Sunday hosts El Nacional at the Banco Pichincha stadium.

Those led by Luis Zubeldía are also waiting for a match, in Ambat, against Técnico Universitario, which was postponed due to their participation in the Copa Sudamericana, where they won the league title.

While those from Sangolquí have 20 points and see from afar the possibility of winning the stage and winning their second national crown without playing the round-robin finals.

Liga de Quito was superior to its rival, which was unsightly and erratic in defense and poor in attack.

In the 25th minute, Mauricio Martínez, after surpassing the opponent’s defense, made it 1-0 for the home team.

The score was extended to 33m when Peruvian Paolo Guerrero scored from a penalty kick to make it 2-0.

In addition, those from Dolina had a slight improvement, however, the albums showed a better level. (D)
