Barcelona SC 0:1 LDU Quito — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Michael Estrada's unassisted 52nd-minute goal was enough for LDU to beat Barcelona SC 0-1 in Serie A, with Christian Javier Báez the standout player on the losing side, though no next fixture is set. Barcelona SC dominated possession and created the better chances but could not find a way past a stubborn LDU defence.

The match's decisive moment arrived seven minutes into the second half when Estrada struck for LDU, turning the contest in their favour after a first half that had seen Barcelona SC control proceedings with 65% possession and 12 shots. The game had been littered with bookings from early on, with Richard Mina, Gian Franco Allala, Luis Segovia and Janner Corozo all yellow-carded for LDU, while Jhonny Quiñónez and José Carabali saw yellow for the home side, and a VAR check in the 77th minute went Barcelona SC's way but failed to alter the scoreline.

Despite Barcelona SC's 63% possession and 16 shots to LDU's 37% and 14, they outplayed their opponents without reward, undone by a more clinical LDU side who managed seven second-half shots to the home side's four. Christian Javier Báez, a defender, earned a 7.4 rating as the match's top performer despite not scoring. CheckLive's model clearly favoured LDU and the result confirmed it.
