Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Michael Estrada scored for LDU as they drew 1-1 with Manta FC in Serie A, a result that leaves Manta FC preparing for their next fixture against Técnico Universitario. The home side dominated possession but found themselves pinned back by an early red card that shifted the game's complexion.

The turning point arrived in the 12th minute when LDU goalkeeper Alexander Domínguez was shown a yellow card, but more critically, Sebastián González received a straight red following a VAR review, reducing LDU to ten men. Despite the disadvantage, Michael Estrada put LDU ahead in the 42nd minute. Manta FC pushed hard in the second half, and their pressure paid off in the 74th minute when Jean Carlos Blanco set up Jose Enrique Angulo to equalise.

Manta FC controlled the game statistically with 71% possession, 13 shots to LDU's 11, and 9 corners to 7, yet LDU created more in the first half with 8 shots to Manta's 2 before being overwhelmed in the second. Michael Estrada was the standout with a rating of 8.1 out of ten, scoring LDU's only goal as a forward. CheckLive's model strongly favoured LDU, but the result did not confirm that prediction, and the live signals backing LDU at 3.25 also lost. Manta FC now travel to face Técnico Universitario on 26 July.
