LDU Quito 2:1 Delfín — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Michael Estrada scored twice in stoppage time as LDU came from behind to beat Delfín 2-1 in Serie A, a result that sets up a meeting with Independiente del Valle on 8 August. The home side had trailed since the 76th minute and looked set for a frustrating evening before their forward’s late intervention.

Thiago Ozaeta had given Delfín the lead with Kevin Ushina providing the assist, and LDU’s pressure seemed to be running out of time until the 89th minute. Estrada levelled from Deyverson’s pass, then completed the turnaround a minute later with Yerlin Quinonez the supplier. Ricardo Adé and Richard Mina were booked in the first half, and two VAR checks went LDU’s way, but the decisive moments came when it mattered most.

The numbers told a story of total dominance without reward until the end: LDU had 74% possession to Delfín’s 26%, fired 29 shots to their opponents’ six, and took eight corners against one. That control only grew in the second half, with 80% of the ball and eighteen attempts, yet the winning margin was still only one. Michael Estrada was the standout with a 9.1 rating, two goals, and his forward’s instinct proving the difference. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured LDU, and the result confirmed it, though the manner was far tighter than the statistics suggested.
