With strength and superiority in the game, Delfín SC defeated Liga de Portoviejo 4-1 on Saturday and won the Manabita classic. With two goals in two minutes in the first quarter of the game, Zahzú's team was marking the difference against their rival, who could only reduce the lead with a shot from Argentine Francisco Frydiszewski.
The start was frenetic, with both teams taking advantage of the spaces to counterattack. However, individuality made the difference in favor of the "cetaceans."
Janner Corozo, who is experiencing a great football moment, opened the score after a great play that ended with a finish against Esteban Dreer (11m). Capira couldn't assimilate the goal and Delfín's second blow came almost immediately. Ortiz received the ball in the area, cut towards the center, and took a shot with the inside edge to the farthest post of the goalkeeper to celebrate the second goal (13m).
But Rubén Darío Insúa's team would go into halftime with a consolation goal. A long ball was caught by Fydriszewski, who turned and shot on the half-turn to beat Banguera (33m).
In the second half, Capira started with intensity in search of an equalizer, while the hosts regrouped and looked for counterattacks. And that's how the third goal came. Corozo made a left-wing attack, eluding several defenders, and left the ball served to Carlos Garcés, who with the goalkeeper beaten only had to push the ball into the net (66m).
Substitute Juan Diego Rojas led another counterattack and assisted John Cifuente to take a powerful right-footed shot and overcome Dreer's resistance, establishing the rout (75m).
Capira played with 10 men in the final minutes due to Koob Hurtado's expulsion (85m). However, a penalty converted by Michael Jackson Quiñónez shortened the difference in the final result (89m).
With this result, Delfín climbs to sixth place with five points. Meanwhile, Liga de Portoviejo sits in fourteenth place with three points. (D)
