Chacaritas Fútbol Club de Pelileo had a difficult and controversial day in the Ecuadorian Serie B when they showed up with 12 players and without their coach, resulting in a defeat against Guayaquil City at the Cristhian Benítez stadium.
This situation has revealed a deep institutional crisis within the club, affected by financial problems and debts with its squad, which led several players and the current technical director to refuse to travel for the match. Chacaritas’ crisis became evident when they were only able to travel to Guayaquil with a minimum lineup and an interim coach. This scenario affected their performance on the field. The absence of the most experienced players and the coach left the team vulnerable against a Guayaquil City that took advantage of the situation to win with a resounding 5-0. Prior to the match, the Chacaritas board issued a statement trying to dispel the rumors.
