Orense vs Deportivo Cuenca - Result and Match Context

On matchday two of the LigaPro second hexagonal, Orense SC hosted Deportivo Cuenca. Juan Pablo Buch made his debut as the home manager. Therefore, his first tactical plan drew plenty of attention.

From the opening minutes, the banana growers took the initiative. They controlled possession and probed in the visitors’ half. However, the final touch never arrived.

Orense wanted three points on home turf. Cuenca, meanwhile, arrived near the top of the table and wanted to protect that spot. As a result, every duel in Machala carried extra weight.

First-Half Chances Fall to Ángel Mena

Ángel Mena led Orense’s attacks through the opening period. The experienced midfielder created the clearest chances of the half.

Ferrero, however, answered twice with strong saves. Those two stops kept the scoreboard blank and the visitors calm. In addition, Cuenca’s compact shape denied Mena clean shooting lanes.

Cuenca's Low Block Shapes the Tactical Battle

The Azuay coaching staff set a clear plan. Cuenca retreated its lines in an orderly way and shrank the space for Orense’s creators.

As a result, the hosts rarely found a free player between the lines. Meanwhile, the visitors waited patiently for a counter-attack. That plan demanded discipline, and the back line delivered it.

Second Half, Stoppage-Time Scare and Table Impact

The second half followed a similar script. Orense kept pressing for a winner, yet its build-up plays lacked precision. Therefore, territorial control never became clear chances against Ferrero’s goal.

Moreover, Cuenca stayed patient and kept its shape. In this stage, margins stay thin and one mistake can reshape the table. Buch can take positives from that dominance. However, he must solve the finishing problem quickly.

Silva Denies Mejía in Stoppage Time

Orense vs Deportivo Cuenca nearly produced a late winner for the visitors. Jeremy Mejía beat the home defense with a solo run. Rolando Silva, however, stood tall in the one on one. His save kept Orense’s net clean.

Moreover, it spared the hosts a painful defeat after all their territorial pressure. A Cuenca goal there would have lifted the visitors above the leader. At the final whistle, the teams shared the points.

Hexagonal Table - Where Both Clubs Stand

Cuenca now sits second, one point behind leader Mushuc Runa. That gap exists because the leader lost 3-2 to Delfín on the same matchday.

Moreover, that result opened a door for the chasing pack. Cuenca, however, missed a chance to overtake. Orense, meanwhile, keeps 34 points in third place. A win would have lifted both clubs closer to the top.
