A decisive match between Barcelona SC and El Nacional, for the aspirations of two teams who still hope to win the second stage and enter the final of the Pro League.

Quito’s 2-0 league win against Independiente del Valle moved the Toreadores back to second place in the table, but Diego López’s side have the ability to regain the lead and then wait for the Whites to bounce back in the final days.

Although unbeaten in 15 days, the Creoles lost ground due to their eight draws in the stage; However, Éver Hugo Almeida’s team is still fighting with the goal of reaching the group stage of the Copa Libertadores through the combined table of the local tournament.

A decisive match for both teams. “We know it’s the finals and we have to play very focused, because that’s the only way to play these games,” said Toreador coach Diego López.

“It will be a close game, complicated for both of them. We have the advantage of being here with our own at home, but I think the team prepared in the best way to play a great game,” commented the strategist. (D)
