Palmeiras vs LDU: Match Situation

LDU won the first leg 3-0 in Quito, Ecuador. Villamil (twice) and Alzugaray scored the goals at Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado. Thus, the visitors only need a draw and can even afford to lose by up to two goals.

On the other hand, Palmeiras is trying to overturn the deficit and is aiming for a heroic comeback. Abel Ferreira’s team needs to win by at least three goals to take the decision for a spot to penalties.
