However, he added, “we should have defined  the game, earlier. We let some chances passed that we could not achieve, and they scored at the end, but I think the result is well deserved for Emelec “.

Marcos Caicedo (56 minutes) and Pedro Quinonez (66m) scored the goals for the millionaires, Alejandro Villalva (90 +1 m) scored for Nacional.
