The Universidad Católica soccer team, led by the experienced Venezuelan goalkeeper Rafael Romo, culminated the second round of the Ecuadorian tournament with an outstanding victory over the Libertad team. The match, which took place in the city of Loja, saw Romo play a crucial role during the 90 minutes of play, contributing significantly to his team's victory with a final score of 0-1.

Rafael Romo not only secured the goal throughout the match, but also extended his impressive unbeaten streak in the Pro League. With this victory, Romo has kept his clean sheet for 5 consecutive matches, accumulating an impressive total of 454 minutes without conceding goals. This amazing mark not only highlights the goalkeeper's skill and dedication, but also underlines the defensive solidity of the Catholic University team as a whole.

The last goal that Romo conceded in the Liga Pro was scored by Jan Hurtado, of the Quito League team, in November 2023. Since then, the Venezuelan goalkeeper has shown exceptional consistency in his performance, keeping his goal intact against various challenges and opponents in the competitive landscape of Ecuadorian soccer. His outstanding performance has not only contributed to the success of Universidad Católica, but has also cemented his reputation as one of the most reliable and talented goalkeepers in the league.

In these games, Romo has once again demonstrated his skill and determination by keeping a clean sheet, which has contributed significantly to the team's success.

Furthermore, considering his last eight appearances on the field, whether with his club or representing his national team, Romo has only allowed a single goal. This only goal was scored by the Peruvian team during the qualifiers in November of last year. This impressive statistic underscores the consistency and excellence of Romo's performance over time, as well as his ability to maintain his level of play despite the challenges he faces.

In the standings of the Ecuadorian tournament, Universidad Católica has started the season brilliantly, positioning itself as one of the four leaders of the championship after two days played.
