Outstanding performance
LDU Quito•AttackerLDU Quito dominated the underlying numbers - 69% possession, 16 shots and 10 corners to Palmeiras' 4 - but for most of the night it was the Brazilians finding the net through moments of clinical efficiency, going 2-1 up early through Marlon Freitas and then Vitor Roque's second-half penalty. Palmeiras looked set to close out the tie until a chaotic finish: down to ten men after Abel Ferreira's touchline dismissal, they conceded twice in stoppage time as Michael Estrada first turned home a low finish and then rose to head home from a corner, completing a stunning double in the space of seconds. That send the game to penalties, where Palmeiras held their nerve despite Lucas Rodríguez and Lucas Evangelista both missing from the spot, with Joaquín Piquerez and Mauricio among those converting to seal a 4-3 shootout win. For Palmeiras, it's a gutsy, chaotic advance built on resilience rather than control; for LDU Quito, it's a heartbreaking exit despite arguably deserving progression on the balance of play across the tie.
