The Barcelona midfielder scored a double against Talleres and the Liga goalkeeper shone against Botafogo.
After a week in which there was no representation of LigaPro players in the ideal team of the Libertadores CupFor the second date of the Conmebol tournament, two footballers from the Ecuadorian tournament were highlighted in the dream team. They are Damian Diaz, from Barcelona, and Alexander Dominguez, from Liga de Quito.
Kitu had an outstanding performance in the 2-2 draw between Idolo del Astillero and Talleresat the Banco Pichincha Stadium. Although Diego López’s team was left with a bitter taste in its mouth as the Argentines equalised in the last play, the captain broke the deadlock: he scored a double and became BSC’s top scorer in international tournaments.
This year, the Rosario native was able to break the curse by scoring two goals, and he has already accumulated eight goals with 11 assists in 43 games played with the Ídolo del Astillero in this competition. With his magnificent performance in the match against the T, Damián Díaz became the oldest player to score (37 years and 345 days) for Barcelona SC in the entire history of the Copa Libertadores, thus surpassing another idol, who recently ran for president, Matías Oyola. El Pony scored at 36 years and 120 days against Defensor Sporting on February 12, 2019 in the 1-0 victory, which would later be declared a loss to the Ecuadorian club due to the erroneous inclusion of Sebastián Pérez.
For its partAlexander Dominguez shined in Liga de Quito’s victory over Botafogo at the Rodrigo Paz Delgado. Dida was key in keeping the team clean against the Brazilians, especially at the start of the second half with several top saves, and thus the team led by Josep Alcácer got the first three points in the Libertadores.
The goalkeeper had been the mainstay of Zubeldía’s team in 2023, in which LDU won the Copa Sudamericana and LigaPro. Domínguez was the hero in the penalty shootout against Fortaleza, in the final in Punta del Este. And he was also the figure again in the final against Independiente del Valle.
There is also representation in the South American
In addition to Kitu and Dida, there was also representation from LigaPro in the Copa Sudamericana: Juan Manuel Elordi, from Delfínwho was chosen in the ideal team of the second matchday. The Argentine full-back scored the goal that gave Cetáceo a last-minute equaliser against Belgrano de Córdoba, at the Jocay.
