In a duel between teams from the capital, Aucas and Universidad Católica faced each other in a decisive match on matchday 13 of the LigaPro (phase 1).
When it seemed that the eastern team was suffering a painful defeat, Colombian striker Jean Carlos Blanco appeared to score the final 2 x 2 in a great match played at the Gonzalo Pozo stadium.
Universidad Católica surprised by taking a 2-0 lead with goals from José Fajardo and Jeison Medina (own goal). The Aucas scorer (Medina) had his revenge by reducing the score from the penalty spot (80′).
The other Colombian striker who plays for the eastern team, we are talking about Jean Carlos Blanco, became the hero of his team by equalizing the match with a saving header in the 90th minute. With this tie, Aucas reached 28 points, placing itself in second place in the table, one point behind the leader (IDV).
Universidad Católica missed a valuable opportunity to get into contention for the stage, although it still has a pending match against Mushuc Runa that it is obliged to win. The “Trencito Azul” occupies the fifth place in the general classification with 22 points.
With the results of this weekend, the fight for first place is at its height, with four teams having a real chance of winning the prizes of phase 1 (qualifying for the final and the 2025 Copa Libertadores).
