Pivotal“Deyverson, introduced just after half-time, equalised at 2-2 to drag LDU level and breathe new life into the contest, setting the stage for a frantic closing spell.”
Pivotal“Deyverson completed his stunning brace with just a minute of regulation remaining, poking home after a moment of defensive hesitation from Always Ready to give LDU Quito a 3-2 lead they would not relinquish.”

LDU Quito•AttackerLDU Quito were forced to dig deep on home soil, going behind before the hour mark after Fernando Nava gave Always Ready a 2-1 lead that threatened to derail the Ecuadorian side's campaign. The statistics painted a curious picture — Always Ready registered 23 shots and 11 on target to LDU's 21 and 7, and dominated set pieces with 11 corners to four, yet it was the hosts who ultimately proved more clinical when it mattered most. LDU's coaching staff made the decisive call, introducing Deyverson midway through the second half, and the Brazilian forward repaid that trust emphatically — first levelling from close range at 77' and then, with just a minute of regulation time remaining, prodding home the winner to send the home crowd into raptures. Always Ready will rue a pair of big chances missed and a second-half defensive collapse that undid the excellent work of Nava and Triverio, while LDU move forward in the Copa Libertadores with momentum restored and a victory that speaks to the resilience this squad possesses under pressure.
