Possibilities of Emelec
The possibilities of Emelec winning the second stage of the Ecuadorian soccer championship were reduced after the defeat in the last minutes on Wednesday at the Alejandro Serrano Aguilar against Deportivo Cuenca, which saved the category. Ismael Rescalvo, millionaire coach, lamented the mistakes his team made along the way.
Emelec will only be able to win in the last match against Olmedo by a goal difference that exceeds that of Barcelona.
"We were always superior to Deportivo Cuenca and we generated chances to win, but we made mistakes on the day we shouldn't have and that cost us the game," Rescalvo said during the post-match press conference.
The blue coach recognized that it will be very difficult to win the second stage. "After this defeat, things got difficult to reach the final. We will have to win on Sunday with a large goal difference and then wait for what Barcelona does," he concluded. (D)
