Cunisure and LDU Portoviejo played out a 0-0 draw in the Liga Pro Serie B Regular Season match on 13 August. The visitors could not find a way through despite the hosts controlling much of the territory. To be fair, both defences held firm throughout the ninety minutes. By then neither side had managed to break the deadlock.
Cunisure dominated possession at 68 per cent, but their 31 attacks yielded only three shots on target. And here's the thing — they kept knocking on the door without finding the key. LDU Portoviejo, with just 32 per cent possession, were content to sit deep and soak it up. The hosts registered eight corners to the visitors' single corner, but the second half saw fewer chances created.
The statistics tell you where the match was played. Cunisure had 127 attacks against 91 for the visitors, yet ended with no more than a point. Their nine shots off target suggest they were shooting from distance rather than creating clear opportunities. LDU Portoviejo's five yellow cards showed the physical nature of their resistance, while Cunisure picked up just one. Expected goals figures would likely reflect the same story — dominance without conversion.
For Cunisure, fifth place with 22 points remains comfortable, though they have not won since their 2-0 victory over Deportivo Cuenca Junior last week. LDU Portoviejo sit ninth on 27 points, three behind their hosts. The draw extended their unbeaten run to two matches after beating Barcelona 1-0. Neither side looks likely to move much in the table after this encounter.
