Hexagonal Battles: Aucas Takes Control
The hexagonal stage saw Aucas regain the upper hand. A goalless draw in Quito in October was followed by a decisive 0-2 victory for Aucas in Guayaquil in November. Goals from Luis Cano and Brian Montenegro sealed the win, further solidifying Aucas’ position in the competition.
The Current Landscape
As both clubs prepare for their next chapter, scheduled for Tuesday at the Estadio Gonzalo Pozo Ripalda at 6:10 PM, their current standings add another layer of intensity.
