Guerreras Albas Advance to Superliga Femenina Finals After Defeating Barcelona SC

Guerreras Albas secured their spot in the Superliga Femenina finals after a decisive 2-0 victory over Barcelona SC on August 16, 2026. This win cemented their 3-1 aggregate triumph in the semifinal series, setting up a championship clash with Dragonas IDV.

The decisive goals came from young talent Rosa Flores. She opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a powerful shot from outside the box. Flores sealed the victory in stoppage time with a lethal counter-attack, skillfully evading defenders before finding the back of the net.

Flores, a standout player from Otavalo, has become a key figure for the Liga de Quito-based team. Her midfield clarity, peripheral vision, and formidable long-range shots are increasingly feared across the continent. The 19-year-old was also a crucial scorer for Ecuador's U-20 team, helping them qualify for the World Cup in Poland with vital goals against Argentina, Bolivia, and a spectacular long-range strike against Colombia.

This marks Guerreras Albas' second consecutive appearance in the Superliga final, both times against Dragonas IDV. The current champions are pursuing an unprecedented third consecutive title. Guerreras Albas previously achieved fourth place in 2020 and 2021, during which El Nacional and Deportivo Cuenca claimed the national championships.
