Independiente del Valle Winning Streak Reaches 10

Early Dominance and 2 Goal Lead

IDV started with authority at the Valle de los Sueños. Hugo Quintana opened the scoring after 14 minutes following a sharp team move. Nine minutes later, Ayrton Cisneros turned the ball into his own net. As a result, the hosts suddenly held a 2-0 advantage.

Delfín refused to disappear. Franco Ayunta reduced the gap in the 45th minute with a composed finish inside the area.

However, Independiente answered before halftime. Carlos “Cocoliso” González powered home a header during stoppage time for 3-1. That response changed the mood before the break. Moreover, it restored IDV’s 2 goal cushion after Delfín had briefly threatened.

Second Half Pressure and 10th Straight Win

The second half brought more pressure. Jefferson Arce headed home after 67 minutes and reduced the score to 3-2.Still, Independiente protected the result and secured another three points. Therefore, LigaPro’s leaders extended their remarkable run to 10 consecutive victories.

Quintana and González Strike at the Right Moments

Quintana gave Independiente the ideal start through smart movement and timing. Meanwhile, the own goal gave Papa’s team extra control. Delfin then found hope through Ayunta. However, González answered almost immediately with a powerful aerial finish.

That goal stopped the visitors from carrying momentum into halftime. In addition, it allowed IDV to manage the second half differently.

Squad Rotation and Managing Late Tension

Papa later made several changes while considering the upcoming Copa Libertadores schedule. As a result, Delfín found more attacking space.

Arce’s header created real tension during the final phase. Even so, Independiente kept enough defensive order to protect the lead.

Ten Wins Built from the Guayaquil City Response

The streak began after Independiente suffered a league defeat against Libertad. IDV answered by beating Guayaquil City 4-2.

From there, the victories kept coming. Independiente defeated Manta, Mushuc Runa, Aucas, Emelec, Técnico Universitario, Orense, Deportivo Cuenca, Liga de Quito, and Delfín.Moreover, the 6-1 victory over Emelec remains the biggest result during this sequence.

Championship Lead and the Record Chase

That consistency also explains the standings. IDV reached 64 points after Matchday 25 and remains the clear championship leader.

According to the supplied standings, Macará sits 23 points behind. Therefore, attention is increasingly moving from the title race toward the record chase.

El Nacional's Historic Record Is One Victory Away

The 1976 Benchmark

El Nacional owns the benchmark at 11 consecutive Ecuadorian league victories.

Most details supplied for this story date that streak to 1976, although one account lists 1971. The detailed historical sequence places it during El Nacional’s 1976 championship season. That run stretched from Matchday 6 through Matchday 16.

Victories Over Giants and End of the Streak

Moreover, El Nacional defeated major names including Emelec, Aucas, Liga de Quito, Barcelona SC, and Deportivo Cuenca. Liga de Quito eventually stopped the sequence on Matchday 17. However, the 11 win benchmark has survived for decades.

Now Independiente has brought that historic number back into the national conversation. A victory against Leones FC would put IDV level with the record. Therefore, the next LigaPro match carries significance far beyond another three points.

Ibarra Could Become the Stage for History

Independiente must visit Leones FC in Ibarra next. An 11th consecutive victory would equal El Nacional’s famous run. Meanwhile, anything less would leave the historic mark standing alone.

Papa also has continental responsibilities to manage. IDV faces another Copa Libertadores commitment in Colombia during the immediate schedule.

That workload could influence rotations once again. However, their strong league position gives the coaching staff greater flexibility. The record opportunity creates different pressure. Every selection and tactical decision will now attract extra attention from the Ecuadorian hinchada.

Delfín Shows Fight but Leaves Empty Handed

Delfín deserves credit for refusing to collapse after conceding twice early. Ayunta’s first half goal restored hope. Meanwhile, Arce’s second half header kept the match alive until the closing stages.

However, early defensive damage proved expensive. Conceding twice inside 23 minutes left Delfín chasing the game almost immediately.

Relegation Struggle and Hosting Aucas

The defeat leaves the Manabí club on 24 points and inside the relegation fight. Next, Delfín hosts Aucas at the Jocay Stadium in Manta. Therefore, the pressure quickly shifts toward securing points against another difficult opponent. Independiente faces a completely different reality.

The leaders now control the standings while simultaneously chasing one of Ecuadorian football’s longest-standing achievements. The Independiente del Valle winning streak now stands at 10, with Leones FC separating IDV from a historic 11th victory.

Meanwhile, Joaquín Papa must balance LigaPro dominance with Copa Libertadores demands. If the striped side keeps winning, Ibarra could witness another major chapter in a remarkable 2026 campaign.
