In a controversial and intense commitment, Liga de Quito left empty-handed from its visit to Brazil after losing 2 x 1 with Botafogo at the Nilton Santos stadium.
Botafogo played a complicated game that had emotions in both areas and an excessive role of the VAR. Hugo and Junior Santos scored for the locals, while Michael Estrada temporarily tied for LDU.
The white team was able to open the scoring at minute 15, but the VAR together with the referee annulled a goal by Estrada after reviewing a complicated play for 10 minutes. From the non-goal in the League we went on to Botafogo’s goal, which scored 1 x 0 in the following action.
Michael Estrada found his revenge in the final stretch of the first half, scoring the 1-1 with a header that was also reviewed by the VAR.
For the second half, the League calmly managed the result, however, and in an action from another match, Botafogo scored the final 2 x 1 through Junior Santos at minute 69. The Brazilian team reached 6 points with this victory, moving up to second place in group D.
The LDU group is the most even in the Libertadores with the four teams separated by 2 points. Junior is the leader with 6 units, followed by Botafogo also with 6, Universitario is third with 5 and Liga is last with 4 points.
