Universiada Católica and Aukos Share Points in Even Contest
Universiada Católica and Aukos played out a 1-1 draw in the Regular Season of the Liga Pro on Thursday evening. The hosts were awarded a penalty after a VAR check in the first half, which José Fajardo converted to put them ahead. Aukos equalised through Michael Carcelen in the sixty-ninth minute, and neither side found a winner despite several substitutions in the closing stages.
There were five yellow cards before the break, with Mateo Burdisso, Daniel Clavijo, Facundo Martinez and Santiago Morales all cautioned. The hosts dominated possession at sixty percent but struggled to convert their advantage, managing only two shots on target from five attempts inside the penalty area. Aukos were more efficient on their limited opportunities, landing three of five shots on target.
Universiada Católica created four big chances compared to one for the visitors, yet their shots accuracy of twenty-five percent told the story of a team that could not finish. Aukos kept their shots accuracy at sixty-three percent and made more key passes, though they ceded the majority of the ball. The hosts had only one corner to seven for the visitors, suggesting the away side pressed forward more frequently.
Both managers used their full complement of changes, with Universiada Católica bringing on Eric David Valencia Reasco, Alexander Bolaños, Jhon Chancellor, Michael Carcelen and Andrés Mena. Aukos made similar adjustments, introducing Mauricio Sebastian Alonso Pereda, José Fajardo and others to hold the result. The match ended with the hosts on four points off the leaders and the visitors three points clear in third place.
