Barcelona SC secured a crucial 3-0 victory over Orense, snapping a six-match winless streak in Ecuador's LigaPro. The win, achieved at the Estadio Monumental, was powered by a brace from Tomás Rodríguez and a goal from Jefferson Wila.

Rodríguez opened the scoring in the 26th minute and doubled the lead just before halftime in the 44th minute. Wila extended the advantage in the 55th minute, effectively sealing the three points for the home side. The victory was particularly important for Barcelona SC, who had been struggling for form since their last win on July 18.

The team, now managed by Pablo Trobbiani following César Farías' departure, had accumulated several draws and losses in recent weeks, including a significant setback in the Copa Ecuador due to an improper player alignment. This win not only boosts morale but also significantly improves their standing in the league. With this result, Barcelona SC climbed to fifth place with 39 points, placing them in contention for the main hexagonal stage with four games left in the first phase.
