Manta FC and Libertad played an exciting match at the Estadio Jocay in Manta on March 30th, 2025, corresponding to the sixth round of the Ecuadorian Liga Pro regular season. The game, refereed by Guillermo Enrique Guerrero Alcivar, was marked by controversy and tension. Despite clear possession dominance (62% for Manta FC), the final score reflected a draw. An own goal by O. Quiñónez in the 24th minute gave Libertad the lead, but W. Ayovi equalized with a penalty in the 42nd minute. Libertad suffered the expulsion of D. Bolaños in the 60th minute, which changed the course of the game. Manta FC created more goal-scoring opportunities (9 shots, 4 on target) than Libertad (10 shots, 1 on target), but a lack of finishing precision prevented a more decisive result. A yellow card to J. Montaño and numerous fouls (15 for Libertad, 10 for Manta FC) reflect the intensity of the encounter.
