A goalless draw at the Estadio Christian Benítez saw Guayaquil City and Universidad Católica del Ecuador cancel each other out. Neither side managed to find the net in a tight Serie A encounter, with no cards and precious few clear-cut openings.
Universidad Católica dominated possession with 61% and registered 14 total shots to Guayaquil City's 8, but only three of each side's efforts hit the target. Both goalkeepers made three saves apiece, and a big chance was missed by the visitors, while the hosts' solitary big chance was not converted despite the box score listing it as scored.
The standout numbers were the even shot-on-target count and the lack of goals despite Universidad Católica's territorial control. Guayaquil City were caught offside three times but held firm defensively, while the visitors could not turn their 493 accurate passes into a breakthrough.
