Portuguesa and Metropolitanos met in the Clausura round six of the first division on the night of August 30th, and the draw brought them together early. The hosts took a 2-1 lead before the visitors levelled in the second half.
A. Yepez opened the scoring for Portuguesa just two minutes in, and G. Ayine equalised for Metropolitanos twelve minutes later. Miku received a yellow card for the hosts at twenty-eight minutes, and the half ended with the score tied.
Ayine gave Metropolitanos the lead again in the forty-eighth minute, and here's the thing — he was replaced at fifty-six minutes, replaced by H. Garcia. S. Ramirez came on for Portuguesa at the same time, and the visitors held their advantage.
R. Rojas scored for Portuguesa at sixty-eight minutes to bring the hosts level, and by then the match had shifted direction. There were more substitutions in the final quarter, and A. Yepez saw yellow at fifty-five minutes before coming off.
Portuguesa dominated possession at 58 per cent but only converted four of thirteen shots on target. Metropolitanos were more clinical with thirty-eight per cent accuracy, and both teams created one big chance each. The hosts had more attacks with 110, but the visitors cleared twenty-eight balls.
The draw left Portuguesa fifth with twenty points after thirteen games, and Metropolitanos stayed second on twenty-five. It extended the visitors' unbeaten run, though they had the game won inside seventy minutes before Rojas equalised.
