Independiente del Valle cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win over Aucas in Serie A, taking control early and never letting up. They scored inside the first 15 minutes, doubled their lead just before half-time, and added a third late on. Despite having less of the ball, they were far sharper in attack.
Emerson Pata opened the scoring in the 14th minute, tapping in after Daykol Romero's pull‑back. Djorkaeff Reasco made it 2‑0 in first‑half stoppage time, finishing from Layan Loor's assist, and Hugo Quintana sealed the win in the 89th minute, converting Matías Perello’s cross. Aucas’s best chances came early in the second half, but they couldn't find a way back.
The visitors created four big chances to Aucas's none and fired in 18 total shots – seven on target – while the hosts managed 11 shots with six on target. Emerson Pata’s opener set the tone, but it was the ruthless finishing from Reasco and Quintana that underlined the gulf in quality. Ayrton Preciado was booked early for Aucas, and three more yellows followed across both sides.
