Deportivo Cuenca Hosts Guayaquil City at 4:30 p.m. With a Two-for-One Offer

Deportivo Cuenca is scheduled to face Guayaquil City at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 2, in a LigaPro match at Alejandro Serrano Aguilar Stadium. The match is part of the competition's 18th round.
The fixture arrives during a difficult run for the Cuenca side. The report describes the team as a candidate to play in the relegation hexagonal after poor results over its last 10 LigaPro matches. It also says the team has gone a month without a victory.
A difficult run under Daniel Néculman
The Argentine coach Daniel Néculman has overseen a stretch in which Deportivo Cuenca recorded one victory and two draws, with the remaining matches ending in defeats at home and away, according to the report.
The team's last win came on July 27, when Néculman debuted as coach in a 2-1 victory over Emelec. Since then, the report says, Cuenca has played its last six matches without a victory and collected only four points.
The report also says the club is dealing with an economic problem: it is known that the players have not been paid for three months. That detail provides context for the pressure around the match, but the article does not provide a separate financial statement from the club.
Ticket information
The leadership is asking supporters to back the team with a two-for-one promotion covering all sections, for both individual tickets and season-ticket holders, according to the report.
The listed prices are:
| Section | Price |
|---|---|
| General | $5 |
| Preferencia | $10 |
| Tribuna | $20 |
| Box | $25 |
The source does not provide additional conditions for the promotion. It also does not give an attendance estimate or say how long the offer will remain available.
The expected lineup
The report describes a possible attacking lineup. Facundo Ferrero could start in goal, with Andrés López, Patricio Boolsen, Santiago Postel, and Yeltzin Erique in a four-player defensive line.
Mateo Maccari and Edison Veza, who returns after a one-match suspension, are listed as the likely holding midfielders. David González and Carlos Arboleda are named as the wide players, while Lucas Mancinelli and Germán Rivero are expected to lead the attack.
That is the lineup described in the report, not a confirmed team sheet. The central practical information for anyone planning to attend is the 4:30 p.m. start, the named stadium, the two-for-one promotion, and the ticket range.
