Liga Fútbol

Amy, Carolina, Joe at Liga game in Quito

 Amy Freyn lives in Ecuador now but used to be a professor at IU Southeast.  She came to Ecuador with Dr. Magdalena's Summer in Ecuador (SiE) study abroad experience quite a few times.

In 2009 I made my first time to Ecuador with SiE and Amy was on that trip.

She sent me an email yesterday afternoon and said “There’s a Liga game tonight, do you want to go?”

The crowd shot off some fireworks in the crazy section

The stadium is in North Quito so it takes about an hour to get there from Cumbayá. 

Here's some of the high scoring action!

Liga won 3 to 1 over El Nacional of Tumbaco, Ecuador.  










I was happy that it wasn’t a defensive struggle that ended 0-0, even though there were a few of the obligatory point-blank kicks that sailed over the goal.
