Valley Independent will defend its first place in Ambato to continue as the sole leader of the LigaPro. On the penultimate date will visit Macará at the Bellavista stadium, this Saturday, May 25 from 8:00 p.m. and can be enjoyed through Star+ (only for South America).
Javier Gandolfi’s team is the only one that depends on himself to win the stage. With 29 points they surpass Aucas and Barcelona who have 28, when there are only 2 rounds left.
Besides, Independiente remains the only undefeated team after 13 games, with 8 wins and 5 draws. The 1-1 draw against Liga de Quito ended their streak of 4 consecutive victories, which allowed them to take the lead from Aucas.
Like Barcelona and Liga de Quito, the Rayados will play the last card in Libertadores this week. They still have a chance to qualify for the round of 16, but they are closer to the Sudamericana if they beat Liverpool.
However, in the final stretch of the stage, Independiente wants to achieve one of the objectives of the semester, which was to be a finalist. After playing against Macará they will be home against Orense, which has not had a good first stage.
