Boca will face an atypical scenario during its visit to Ecuador to face Barcelona in Guayaquil, for the fourth round of Group D of the Copa Libertadores. The match will be played in the midst of a context of strong social tension, following the implementation of a night curfew in several regions of the country
.
The measure, promoted by the government of Daniel Noboa, began to take effect in the early morning of Sunday and will last until Monday, May 18. It establishes a ban on driving between 23 and 5 in the morning, in an attempt to contain the growing violence linked to organized crime
.
Among the areas covered by the provision is the province of Guayas, whose capital is Guayaquil, the venue for the meeting. It also includes Manabí, Santa Elena, Los Ríos, El Oro, Esmeraldas, Sucumbíos, Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas
and Pichincha. The curfew could affect both clubs and fans
In this context, the Xeneize game is scheduled for 19 (local time) and is estimated to end around 21, so both the delegation of the Argentine team and its fans must organize their transfers quickly to avoid problems with restrictions
.
On the other hand, for the expected nearly 2,000 blue and gold supporters, a special security and transport operation will be set up to guarantee their return to their accommodations once the match is over. In addition, by law, there is an exception to the rule for those who must transfer to the airport that day or during the night
.
So far, neither CONMEBOL nor the clubs involved have issued official statements regarding possible changes in logistics. From the Boca environment, they trust that the situation will not affect the normal development of the match or the previous and subsequent movements, on a night that they hope will pass normally despite the context
.
How does Boca get to the game
Last weekend, Xeneize won 1-2 against Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero.
The result, in addition to placing him in second place in Zone A and third in the Annual Table, served as an emotional recovery after the1-0 loss to Cruzeiro in Brazil in the Copa Libertadores, a tournament where the Ribera club is second in Group D with 6 points, tied with the Minas Gerais club and the Catholic University of Chile.
This scenario puts the duel against Barcelona, currently last with 0 units and in the midst of a sports crisis, as the key to being able to separate themselves from their main rivals in the group and thus be able to hope to pass the round.
