CS Emelec 1:1 Mushuc Runa SC — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Juan Ruiz Gómez scored to give Emelec a 1-1 draw with Mushuc Runa in Serie A, a result that leaves the hosts with work to do ahead of their next fixture against Deportivo Cuenca on July 28. The midfielder's first-half strike was cancelled out after the break, and the point does little to build momentum for either side in a middling league campaign.

The match turned on two moments separated by 36 minutes: in the 28th minute, Francisco Pizzini's cross found Juan Ruiz Gómez, who slotted home to put Emelec ahead, but Mushuc Runa responded in the 64th minute when Ronie Carrillo equalised unassisted. Ronny Biojo received a yellow card just before the break, while Gonzalo Nápoli was booked in the second half, but no red cards or VAR interventions altered the flow.

Emelec controlled the game statistically, holding 54% possession to Mushuc Runa's 46%, and registered 14 shots to their opponents' 8, with 11 corners to 7, yet they could only manage a draw—outplayed in terms of efficiency by a side that created far less. Juan Ruiz Gómez was the standout with a rating of 8.3 out of ten, scoring once from midfield, and CheckLive's model rated Emelec marginally ahead but the draw contradicted that prediction. Emelec now travel to Deportivo Cuenca on July 28.
