LDU beat Emelec 2-0 in Serie A, thanks to two early goals and a resolute defensive display. The home side took control inside the first 18 minutes and never looked back, even after playing the entire second half with ten men.
Janner Corozo opened the scoring after two minutes, finishing from Yerlin Quinonez's assist, and Luis Segovia doubled the lead on 18 with Deyverson providing the pass. The key moment came on the stroke of half-time when Corozo was sent off, yet LDU held on comfortably.
The numbers underline LDU's dominance: they had 60% possession, 14 shots with five on target, and converted both of their big chances. Emelec managed 13 shots but only two forced saves, while LDU's ten corner kicks showed their constant pressure.
