Barcelona Faces Tough Match Against Liga de Quito This Friday

QUITO, Ecuador — Barcelona SC will visit Liga de Quito this Friday for a challenging match in the Liga Ecuabet hexagonal round.

This match is especially significant because Barcelona has only managed to win once at Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado since its opening in 1997. The team’s only victory at this venue came on April 15, 2023, when they won 1-0. That game featured an own goal by José Angulo just before halftime, contributing to Liga de Quito’s first loss at home in 26 years against Barcelona.

Prior to that defeat, Liga de Quito had maintained an impressive home record against Barcelona, going unbeaten for over two decades. The last time they lost at home to Barcelona was in 1996, at Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa.

In addition, Barcelona SC has a memorable moment at Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado, having celebrated winning the Liga Ecuabet trophy after a penalty shootout against Liga de Quito in 2020.

As of now, Barcelona has played 57 matches at Casa Blanca, securing just one victory, while Liga de Quito has won 36 matches and they have drawn 20 times.

This upcoming match will be crucial for both teams as they compete for points in the ongoing Liga Ecuabet tournament.
