Aucas secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Técnico Universitario in Serie A, despite playing the final half-hour with ten men after Agostino Spina's second yellow card. The visitors made the most of their big chance, while the hosts failed to convert their opportunities.
The match was largely scrappy until the 71st minute, when Ayrton Preciado turned in Snayder Porozo's assist to break the deadlock. Técnico had earlier missed a clear big chance in the first half, and despite outshooting Aucas 11-7, they could not find an equalizer.
Aucas goalkeeper Hamilton Piedra made three saves to preserve the clean sheet, as his side conceded more fouls (19) but held 53% possession. Técnico dominated the shot count but lacked the cutting edge, registering only three attempts on target from their 11 shots.
