Rayados and Eléctricos will play for the leadership of the LigaPro this Sunday at the George Capwell.
The best match of date 6 of the LigaPro will be played this Sunday, March 31, starting at 6:00 p.m. between Emelec and Independiente del Valle. The two teams arrive as the tournament leaders with 11 points, so they will put first place at the George Capwell at stake. For this momentous meeting, Eléctricos and Rayados prepare the best they have.
IDV arrives with the losses of Renato Ibarra and Alexander Bolaños, footballers who are not in physical fitness, so they would not be taken into account for this match. For their part, Guido Villar and Junior Sornoza recovered from the discomfort that afflicted them, and Javier Gandolfi will be able to have them at his disposal.
Although Villar no longer has physical discomfort, Moisés Ramírez would continue as the Rayados’ starting goalkeeper. Gandolfi would bet on a team very similar to the one that faced Aucas, with the return of Kendry Páez and Joao Ortiz, who missed that match due to being called up to La Tri.
The players who would leave the starring role to make way for Páez and Ortiz are Patrik Mercado and Renato Ibarra. Having few options on the wing, it would be the debut as a starter for Romario Ibarra, who has already added minutes, but so far has not started in the 11 of the Sangolqui team.

The possible alignment of Independiente del Valle
The 11 chosen by Gandolfi would be: Moses Ramirez; Matthias Fernandez, Richard Schunke, Matthew Carabajal, Beder Caicedo; Christian Zabala, Joao Ortiz, Junior Sornoza; Kendry Paez, Michael Holes, Romario Ibarra.
Moises Ramirez would repeat ownership.
Richard Schunke: “A bit of rivalry was generated with Emelec, it’s going to be a nice, spicy match…”
«The match against Emelec is important for us, they are a very difficult opponent on their court, they have started very well. We are very even today, we are going to work our game on a daily basis and get the best result. Afterwards, if we continue playing in the same way the goals will come, we have scored in every game. “That’s good,” said the Argentine.
“A bit of rivalry was generated with Emelec, it’s going to be a nice game, spicy and very difficult for us,” commented the defender, remembering the final against the Blues in 2021.
On the other hand, he highlighted Facundo Castelli, scorer and figure of the electric team: «Castelli is having a good time, he showed it in Delfín. We center backs have looked at him a lot, he is a player who demands a lot and who runs a lot. We are going to be attentive there, then they have wingers who are extremely fast: Corozo, Sánchez who we had here. “They are players who unbalance the transitions and will be very important for us.”

Schunke, in addition to being central, can play at left back if required. This multifunctionality is something that Agustín García Basso also had, who left the club at the beginning of the year to join the Racing Club of Argentina and was a big loss for the team. «I have played on the left when Miguel Angel Ramírez was there and I have gotten used to it, this time I have played there, the teacher puts me there, always adding where I have to be, on the left, on the right. Stopper, libero, is important to add to the team,” he stated.
Something that stands out about the Valle team is their scoring ability. In all the matches they have scored at least one goal, but they have also only conceded four goals: «They were both very different matches, what happened against Técnico and Aucas. With Aucas we were able to widen the difference before, and keeping a clean sheet is very important, especially for us defenders. It’s what keeps you winning.”
