With a goal in the final moments, defender Juan Gabriel Rodríguez rescued a point for Talleres and prevented defeat against Barcelona. With this result, Talleres leads the group with 4 points, while Barcelona remains in third place with 2 units.

With a goal from outside the box and another from a penalty, the Argentine-born Ecuadorian twice put Barcelona ahead, but on both occasions Talleres managed to equalize with goals in the last minutes of each half, thanks to Federico Girotti and the aforementioned Rodríguez.

Barcelona delighted their more than 40,000 fans at the Monumental Stadium in Guayaquil with great intensity, dominating the game for almost the entire match. However, Talleres knew how to take advantage of the right moments to level the match.

Despite Barcelona taking the lead with a great goal from 'Kitu' Díaz, Talleres managed to equalize before halftime with a goal from Girotti. In the second half, Barcelona regained the lead with a penalty goal from 'Kitu' Díaz, but Talleres equalized again with Rodríguez's goal.

In the next matchday, Barcelona will host Sao Paulo and Talleres will visit Cobresal.
