Match report
LDU Kito faced Universidad Católica at the Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado on Sunday evening. The match ended in a 0:1 win for the visitors in the Championship Group phase of the Liga Pro. It was a tight contest where the hosts struggled to break down a resilient defence.
The action started quickly, and here is the thing about these fixtures — the first chance often defines the flow. J. Fajardo scored at ten minutes, but the scoreboard would not reflect that for long. Around minute twenty, the intensity settled into a rhythm that neither side could fully control. By then, L. Segovia had already picked up a yellow card, and the home side made three changes at half-time.
We had given the hosts 51 per cent confidence for a win, but the match went another way after M. Weigandt’s goal was cancelled for offside at sixty minutes. To be fair, the visitors had been under pressure, but that decision shifted the balance. J. Pretell received a booking at fifty minutes, and the game continued to ebb and flow.
There were further attempts late on, though the result remained unchanged. Deyverson found the net at seventy-one minutes, and Y. Quinonez added another at seventy-four, yet the official scoreline stayed at 0:1. M. Diaz and E. Mejia were among those brought on in the final quarter, and Y. Quinonez saw a yellow card before being substituted. A. Alvarado and M. Weigandt also picked up bookings in the dying stages.
The statistics underline the disparity between effort and outcome. LDU Kito dominated possession with 53 per cent and recorded 96 attacks, but their six shots on target failed to yield a single goal. Universidad Católica managed four shots on target to secure the three points. They now sit second in the table with 54 points, while the hosts remain fifth on 46.
