LigaPro Serie A Round: Deportivo Cuenca 1-1 Club Leones del Norte. The Ecuadorian top-flight encounter at the Estadio Alejandro Serrano Aguilar ended in a 1-1 draw, a fair reflection of a match where both teams had periods of dominance but lacked a cutting edge to secure all three points. Deportivo Cuenca, playing at home, took the initiative early and were rewarded with a goal from a set-piece midway through the first half. Leones del Norte grew into the game and their persistence paid off in the second half with a scrappy equalizer following a goalmouth scramble. The final half-hour saw both teams create half-chances, with Cuenca hitting the crossbar and Leones del Norte's goalkeeper making a crucial save at the near post. A notable incident was a disallowed goal for the visitors for a marginal offside call, which sparked protests from the away bench. The shared points do little to elevate either team dramatically in the LigaPro standings, with both sides remaining in the middle of the pack. Post-match, the Cuenca manager expressed frustration at his team's inability to kill the game, while the Leones del Norte coach was pleased with the resilience shown by his squad to earn a point away from home. Deportivo Cuenca's lineup featured their experienced core, while Leones del Norte set up with a compact defensive block.
