The Clásico del Astillero (English: The Shipyard Derby) also known as the "El Clásico Ecuatoriano" (English: The Ecuadorian Classic)[1][2] is the most important and historic football rivalry in Ecuador between Barcelona & Emelec, both from Guayaquil, the largest and the most populous city in Ecuador, with about 2.3 million inhabitants in the city and nearly 3.1 million in the metropolitan area, as well as that nation's main port. This derby is also called "El partido inmortal del fútbol Ecuatoriano" (English: The immortal Ecuadorian football game).[3]

Origins and background

El Clásico del Astillero is a match played against Barcelona's old rival Emelec. It was not until 22 August 1943 that the two sides faced each other for the first time, in a Guayaquil League match. Sporting their distinctive yellow jerseys, Los Canarios defeated El Eléctrico 4-3, with Pedro Villalta scoring a late winner for Barcelona. It was a match that would forever be remembered as The Derby of the Posts, due to the number of times that the Emelec forwards struck the woodwork.

In 1948, the local derby received a name of its own in a preview in the newspaper El Universo, becoming known forever more as El Clásico del Astillero (The Shipyard Derby).

In 1990 proved to be a very special year in the history of El Clásico del Astillero, with the two sides facing off in a Copa Libertadores quarter-final second leg on 29 August. Barcelona advanced to the semis after a 1-0 win.

Although Barcelona have failed to win the title since 1997 and Emelec since 2002, it still remains as one of the most important matches in Ecuador and is recognized by FIFA as one of the fiercest football rivalries in the world.[4][5]

Accidents

Sur Oscura destroys George Capwell stadium

On April 30, 2006 the second Clásico del Astillero of the year was played. Emelec was leading comfortably 3-0 over Barcelona. When the second half began, the fans of Barcelona, the Sur oscura (Dark south) began rioting in the stadium and in the San Martin stand, where they were situated. First, they started throwing objects onto the field; one struck a linesman, who was injured. Then, they started to take a billboard and break the meshes. The hooligans broke into the radio broadcast booths and looted the private property of the media, causing a scandal that had never been seen before. Some people, who had been seated near the Sur oscura, ran onto the field in fear, to avoid the turmoil of the crowd. There were about 40 injured and nine arrested.[6]

The game was suspended and ordered to resume the next day, behind closed doors. The next day, without an audience, the game resumed, until full time. Barcelona managed to pull back 2 goals. The final score was 3-2 in favor of Emelec.

Now, whenever Barcelona plays against Emelec, the Sur Oscura always chant their song: El Capwell lo destrocé, lo destrocé, lo destrocé (the Capwell I destroyed, I destroyed, I destroyed).

Death of an innocent child

On September 16, 2007, Carlos Cedeño Veliz, an Emelec fan, died after being hit by a flare before the start of the Clásico del Astillero. The child was born in San Vicente, Manabi province and was with family in one of the suites at the Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo. When Cedeño was hit, the object came from the southern general stands, the location where the fans of Barcelona, the Sur oscura (Dark south) were situated. About 20 minutes prior to the start of the game, the Sur oscura fired a flare that hit the child's body. The flare smashed into Cedeño's chest, affecting his lungs and part of the heart.[7]

The game was not suspended and in the first 10 minutes, Jorge Ladines scored for Emelec. The final score was 1-0 in favor of Emelec.

On film

The rivalries between these two teams was immense in Ecuador and international that it caught the eye of international filmmaker Filmadora Panamericana and in 1973 a movie was made titled "El derecho de los pobres", starting Spanish actor Enrique Rambal, Mexican actor Enrique Rocha and Ecuadorian footballer Alberto Spencer, proclaim the best Ecuadorian soccer player of all times, makes his cinema debut.[8]
