Outstanding performance
Palmeiras•AttackerPalmeiras controlled this first leg from start to finish, racking up 61% possession and 20 shots to LDU Quito's 6, but had to settle for a slender 1-0 lead to take into the return fixture. Agustín Giay's 26th-minute header, arriving straight out of a break-in-play drinks stoppage, proved to be the difference-maker on a night when Palmeiras created six corners to LDU's one and consistently probed but rarely broke down a well-organized visiting defense. LDU Quito, for their part, leaned on discipline over possession, committing 16 fouls to Palmeiras' 11 as they tried to disrupt rhythm, and goalkeeper heroics kept the deficit to just one with four saves despite facing wave after wave of Palmeiras pressure. For the second leg, LDU will take heart from keeping the tie alive with just a single-goal gap to close, while Palmeiras will know they left chances out there - one big chance missed and only five of twenty shots on target - that could come back to haunt them if LDU find any attacking spark at home.
