LDU have not lost by three goals or more in over a year, check the stats | OneFootball

São Paulo faces LDU this Thursday at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) at Morumbis, needing to win by three goals to qualify for the semifinals of the Libertadores in regular time.

After losing the first leg in Quito, Ecuador, by 2-0, Tricolor will take the field under pressure in front of a true crowd in the stands and needing to do something that few have managed in recent times. It’s been over a year since LDU last lost by a three-goal margin, the score São Paulo needs to advance without a penalty shootout.

The last time LDU conceded three goals was in September 2024, specifically on the 19th of that month. On that occasion, Ibabura thrashed Liga Deportiva Universitaria 4-0.

Since then, LDU’s biggest defeats have only been by two goals. In May, they suffered a 2-0 loss to Flamengo in the Libertadores. In the Ecuadorian Championship, the Quito team came up short against Universidad Católica both in the first round, 3-1, and in the second round, 4-2.

The fact is that at least in 2025, no team has managed to beat LDU by a three-goal margin. Now it remains to be seen if São Paulo will be able to achieve this unprecedented feat in the current season.
