A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both Emelec and Blooming know what's at stake in this second leg of the Copa Sudamericana 1st Round clash.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Liga De Futbol Prof game only four days ago.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Emelec form and stats
Last season their Copa Sudamericana adventure ended in the 2nd round.An away draw last time out for Emelec, facing Orense in a game that ended 2-2. In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Blooming.
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Orense as R. Ordóñez's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. R. Ordóñez was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Orense after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Guayaquil City are coming to town in three days.
Blooming form and stats
They also participated in Copa Sudamericana last season. This ended in the 1st round, when Bahia drew the shortest straw.Things could have gone better for Blooming in their Liga De Futbol Prof away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Blooming seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The supporters enjoyed Blooming's previous game versus Bolivar, a Liga De Futbol Prof 2-1 win played at home. It was a Liga De Futbol Prof defeat before that one as the away game against Municipal Vinto wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
A heroic performance from Blooming in their game against Bolivar last time out. Things got complicated when C. Latorre was sent off in the 34th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 2-1 victory! The end of the last match, against Bolivar, was very satisfying as E. Vaca scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Blooming has another fixture away, a Liga De Futbol Prof game, against Royal Pari in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Blooming find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 4 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. Blooming have conceded 6 goals in these games.
