Deportivo Cuenca Juniors — San Antonio FC: 1:0, Liga Pro Serie B

Deportivo Cuenca Juniors beat San Antonio 1:0 in the Serie B Promotion Group - 4 on Tuesday evening. The match took place on September 16th, 2026 and decided a narrow victory for the hosts at home.

The only goal came in the sixty-second minute, a moment that settled things after a restless first half. By then both sides had been probing, but the break in deadlock belonged to the home side. It was not a game that demanded much from either defence until that point.

and here's the thing: we had called for the hosts to win this one, though our confidence was only at forty-three percent. It was never a slam dunk, but Cuenca's recent form — a solitary victory in their last five — suggested they would be the ones to take the spoils. San Antonio had shown resilience in draws, but this was a different kind of test.

The statistics tell a story of possession without penetration. San Antonio held fifty-seven percent of the ball and registered one hundred attacks, yet managed only three shots on target. Cuenca, with forty-three percent possession, were more efficient with five on target and four off. It is the kind of evening where one chance is all that separates results.

Both teams had their disciplinary moments. Cuenca picked up three yellow cards while San Antonio took two, nothing more serious than that. The hosts also collected six corners compared to four for the visitors, but neither side did enough to turn pressure into clear-cut opportunities.

The result keeps Cuenca fourth on twenty-two points while San Antonio remain sixth on twenty-one points. Both sides had played twenty-two matches, so every point matters in this group. Cuenca's victory extends their position above the visitors, though neither side is far from the pack.
