Guayaquil City FC and Universidad Catolica played out a goalless stalemate at the Estadio Christian Benitez Betancourt in a Liga Pro encounter that offered few defining moments. Both sides struggled to find a decisive cutting edge, with chances few and far between throughout the 90 minutes. The match saw a flurry of substitutions from both camps, particularly in the latter stages, as coaches attempted to inject some life into proceedings. Guayaquil City FC made five changes across the second half, including a late substitution in the 88th minute, while Universidad Catolica also utilized their bench extensively, notably with a cluster of changes in the 76th minute. Despite these tactical adjustments, neither team could break the deadlock, ultimately settling for a point apiece in a match that will likely be remembered more for its substitutions than its scintillating football.
