Emelec fails to impose itself against Técnico Universitario
The exhibition match played at Capwell Stadium on Friday night ended in a goalless draw.
However, it was a great opportunity for Ismael Rescalvo to observe several of his new additions, who left a good impression after the match. This includes Luca Sosa, Ángel Gracia, and Jefferson Orejuela, who entered the field for the second 45 minutes.
Emelec dominated the game, but suffered from the same problems that plagued them last season. Disconnected lines and plays that ended in unimportant crosses, looking for Barceló's head or any midfielder who joined the attack.
Zapata had three clear chances to score for the millionaires, but the Colombian failed to find the target with his finishes.
The second half lost intensity, a normal factor in this type of matches where the goal is to give minutes to most of the players in the squad.
Emelec's next test will be in the Supercopa Ecuador against Nueve de Octubre, next Friday. (D)
