The LigaPro, destiny and life have established it this way, since on April 28th the ‘bombillo’ will celebrate 95 years of its foundation And it is in this festive atmosphere that the blue team will have to face its eternal neighborhood rival, in a crucial match for both teams in the dispute for the first stage of the national tournament.
Extra pressure or perfect party?
Without a doubt, the George Capwell Stadium will be packed with blue fans who, from the start, will begin singing and singing all the folklore that football generates, especially a Clásico del Astillero, the most important match in the Ecuadorian league.
Now the pressure will be on in the 90 minutes, because the rival, Barcelona, also needs to win due to all the problems it has been going through and in its mind will be the ability to extinguish the blue celebration in its 95 years of foundation.
All of this falls on the board, coaching staff and players of Emelec, taking into consideration that they are coming off a tough defeat against Aucas, in which their performance was poor; in addition to missing out on the opportunity to take first place.
The celebration of the 95th anniversary of the ‘electric’ team will end up depending on the score, a victory would be the perfect gift, a draw would be a bittersweet feeling and obviously the possible defeat against Barcelona is bound to be a bitter celebration in the blue world.
The bitter memory of 2023
On April 28, 2023, Emelec lost 3-2 at the George Capwell Stadium against Independiente del Valle, precisely the ‘bombillo’ and its fans could not celebrate its 94th anniversary well, so this Sunday they hope to celebrate well against Barcelona in the Clásico del Astillero.
