Orense and Manta played to a 1-1 draw in Liga Ecuabet, with Ángel Mena scoring in his return from injury, yet Orense still seeks their first victory of the season.
In an exciting matchup at the Estadio 9 de Mayo in Machala, Orense and Manta ended in a 1-1 draw during the third round of the Liga Ecuabet. The game marked the return of Ángel Mena to the starting lineup after recovering from an injury, and it was particularly significant as it followed the recent departure of Orense's head coach, Raúl Antuña, with Agustín Robles stepping in as interim coach. Both teams displayed a balanced performance, creating multiple opportunities, yet failed to capitalize on their chances in the first half, with Orense notably missing a penalty attempt from Jostin Alman.
