Quito -
Liga de Quito wins the capital's Superclásico, despite the absences defeating Aucas 4-1 and remains at the top of the stage. Pablo Repetto spoke about fulfilling a "challenge" by facing the tournament without his key players, after their call-up to the national team.
"We have players of good level who came without playing time, that's why it was a challenge to maintain the level of play with those changes, we achieved it and the players who came in showed they were up to the task," said the coach.
Goals by Cristian Martínez (3) and Matías Zunino gave the victory to the white and blue team against the gold and maroons, who scored with a goal by Jhonny Quiñónez.
After his "Hat Trick", the white killer Cristian Martínez Borja, sent this greeting to all the albiceleste fans!

"Despite the absences, we maintained the level. I respect and trust all my players. There are players who have been heavily criticized and now they are doing well, they have our trust," said Repetto.
With the victory, the university team remains at the top with 16 points, "a privileged position" that makes Liga one of the main candidates to win the stage.
"Our position in the table makes us dream for the future, knowing that we have tough finals ahead, for now we are in the fight. We are not the favorites, we are one of the favorites," expressed Repetto. (D)
