Mushuc Runa vs. Emelec: LigaPro 2026 Match Moved to Latacunga

Mushuc Runa was forced to move its home game against Emelec to Latacunga after the Estadio Olímpico de Riobamba failed to meet LigaPro's standards. According to Jimmy Roldán, the stadium has issues with its lighting and ongoing construction that prevents it from hosting matches, especially at night. Emelec, on the other hand, is riding high after a 2-1 victory over Orense and a 2-0 win against Independiente del Valle. Coach Vicente Sánchez will stick with the 3-5-2 formation that has brought them success. Key players for Emelec include Pedro Ortiz in goal, a defensive line of Luis León, Aníbal Leguizamón, and Stalin Segura, and an attacking force led by Miller Bolaños and Francisco Pizzini. Mushuc Runa, struggling at the bottom of the table, will rely on forwards like Ronnie Carrillo and Elian Caicedo to try and secure their first win.
