Ecuador Wrap: Champions Emelec finish with win

Champions of Ecuador after winning both phases of the season this year, Emelec celebrated their success in style - scoring late on to deny lowly Quevedo in Guayaquil.

Former Everton man Denis Stracqualursi struck first for the champions, giving them a lead on 29 minutes, but Quevedo surprised the hosts - earning a penalty early in the second half, which was duly dispatched by John Garcia.

Macara's luckless campaign was typified by a 2-2 draw at home to Barcelona, as they finished bottom of the league with just three wins from 22.
