Emelec and Barcelona SC played out a goalless draw in Serie A, a result that left the home side frustrated after they dominated proceedings. Emelec controlled possession with 53% and created the clearer openings, but could not find a way past the Barcelona SC defence.
Neither side managed a goal in a match that saw four yellow cards, including a booking for Jefferson Intriago just before half-time and another for Jose David Contreras in the second period. Emelec had two big chances and 17 total shots, but only two forced a save from the Barcelona SC goalkeeper.
The standout statistic was Emelec's 17 total shots, ten of which missed the target, and they missed both of their big chances. Barcelona SC, meanwhile, had just eight attempts and two on target, but held firm to leave with a point.
