Johan Padilla is experiencing a great moment in Serie B with Macará de Ambato, a team that is one of the favorites to return to Serie A of the Pro League. The goalkeeper is one of the high points of the club and the fans have shown him their support and appreciation despite the fact that on occasions he was highly criticized.

In the last match against Cuniburo at the Bellavista Stadium in Ambato, which ended 2-0 in favor of the Ambateños, Johan Padilla showed his happiness by interacting with the sky-blue fans celebrating Cristiano Ronaldo style. The goalkeeper ran a few meters, jumped and extended his arms like the Portuguese striker and the fans shouted the iconic “Siiiiiiuuu” of CR7. The video was posted by the goalkeeper on his Tik Tok account.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper emerged at Club Deportivo El Nacional, played for Delfín de Manta and since 2022 he has worn the light blue shirt of Macará de Ambato. On the next day, the Ambateño team will face Chacaritas de Pelileo where they will be able to win without difficulties and then travel to Manabí to face Manta in an important duel with two teams that want promotion.
