On Friday morning, the peaceful atmosphere of the Los Samanes sports complex was interrupted for several hours. The Emelec team decided to stop training due to non-payment of salaries.
The debt with the team would be three months, a situation that president José Pileggi tried to solve with his presence and a meeting with several leaders of the electric club.
For this reason, it was speculated that the team led by Hernán Torres planned not to maintain concentration this Saturday and there was even a possibility that he would not appear this Sunday to welcome Deportivo Cuenca, on the last date of the second stage of the Pro League.
CS Emelec will be concentrated tomorrow as planned for Sunday’s match. The agreed values are canceled today; The banking process caused a delay that has already been corrected. The team is ready to try to win.

However, on Friday night, Carlos Usategui, head of communications for Millionaires, announced on his X account that the “agreed value” had been canceled and that the team would fulfill its obligations.
“CS Emelec will be concentrated tomorrow (Saturday) as planned for the match on Sunday. The agreed values were canceled today (Friday); The banking process caused a delay that has already been corrected. The team is ready to try to win,” he announced. (D)
