In a tightly contested Serie A match, Barcelona Guayaquil edged past CD El Nacional Quito with a 2-1 victory. The decisive factor in this encounter was the clinical finishing from Barcelona Guayaquil in the first half. With Barcelona striking twice within the first 35 minutes, their ability to capitalize on key opportunities set the tone for the match. Both goals were a result of quick, incisive attacking play, catching the home defense unprepared.

CD El Nacional Quito responded quickly, narrowing the deficit to 2-1 shortly after Barcelona's opening goal. Despite efforts to equalize, they struggled to convert chances into goals. Their solitary corner kick indicates a failure to exert prolonged attacking pressure, a key reason they couldn't find an equalizer. The team’s discipline and resilience were tested as they incurred 15 fouls, reflecting a robust but ultimately ineffective attempt to regain control.

Defensively, Barca Guayaquil's ability to maintain composure under pressure was evident, conceding fewer fouls and avoiding disciplinary actions—completing the game without yellow cards. Their superior corner kick count (3 to El Nacional's 1) further underscores their territorial dominance and efficiency in transitioning from defense to attack. Ultimately, Barcelona Guayaquil's efficient forward play and discipline were pivotal as they managed to fend off El Nacional's attempts at a comeback.
