Aucas coach Norberto Araujo said he was pleased with his side’s 2-0 victory over Emelec at the Capwell stadium on Saturday in matchday 23 of the Liga Ecuabet.
Araujo said his team knew Emelec were desperate but had important players, and that Aucas had to take advantage of that and find their characteristic style of play.
He added that in the second half Aucas ceded some ground as Emelec pressed forward, which allowed his side to attack on the counter. He said they could perhaps have scored more and that he was very happy with the performance.
Despite the result, Araujo also praised the home side. He said Emelec had his full respect, that they play well, and that both teams had come into the match on poor runs of form. He credited his squad’s personality and commitment for the win on a difficult ground against a strong opponent.
