Liga de Quito traveled to the city of Machala for a key match against Orense for matchday 9 of LigaPro 2024 (phase 1).
The home team earned respect for their home ground by beating LDU 1-0 with a goal from Agustín Herrera in the 27th minute. Orense took a well-deserved victory, especially for what they did in the first half, where they created several dangerous chances.
The absences of Ezequiel Piovi and Marco Angulo affected the white team, as well as the non-starting of the attacker Álex Arce, who traveled to Paraguay for a family matter and could not train normally with his teammates.
Agustín Herrera took advantage of a gross error by Daikol Romero to score the only goal of the match in the first half. Orense achieved its first victory in Serie A 2024, moving up to 11th place in the overall standings with 8 points.
Despite having played two games less, Liga de Quito missed an important opportunity to get closer to the leader of the competition (Aucas). The capital team ended a streak of three consecutive victories in the 2024 Serie A.
