Match Recap

Emelec led early through R. Saya in the 23rd minute, but Libertad refused to fold. J. Bravo dragged the visitors level just after the hour, and the game looked set to end in a share of the spoils in this Liga Pro clash. Then, deep into stoppage time, B. Caicedo struck in the 90th minute to complete the comeback and send Libertad home with all three points, 2-1. It's a result that fits the table too: Libertad sit seventh on 41 points and now have a win to show for a mixed recent run of LWDLW, while Emelec, 11th on 36, will feel the sting of a lead surrendered so late. The two sides had drawn both of their last meetings, so this late twist finally broke that stalemate in Libertad's favor. Emelec's early strike deserved better, but Caicedo's 90th-minute finish is the moment that decided it, watch how it unfolds in the highlights below.
