Deportivo Cuenca 2:1 CS Emelec — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Melvin Diaz scored twice as Deportivo Cuenca beat Emelec 2-1 in Serie A. The midfielder’s brace was the difference in a game where the hosts controlled the first half but needed resilience after conceding a quick equaliser.

Diaz opened the scoring on 35 minutes, finishing from Lucas Mancinelli’s pass, and Emelec levelled through Ignacio Guerrico a minute into the second half. But Diaz struck again on 62 minutes, this time assisted by Jorge Ordonez, and five Emelec players were booked across the match as frustration grew.

Deportivo Cuenca held 55% possession, took 14 shots to Emelec’s 11, and earned 11 corners to 4—dominating territory without it being a rout. Diaz was the standout: a 9.5 rating, two goals, and a midfielder’s influence that decided the contest. There is no next fixture to mention.
