Palmeiras take 1-0 lead to Quito for LDU decider | OneFootball

Palmeiras take a narrow 1-0 lead to Quito for their CONMEBOL Libertadores quarter-final decider against LDU. The second leg is on Wednesday 16, at 19:00 Brasília time, at Estádio Rodrigo Paz Delgado.

In the first leg, Agustín Giay scored his first goal for the club, finishing a move launched by Vitor Roque, to secure the 1-0. Palmeiras fashioned further openings but wasteful finishing kept the margin slim.

A draw in Ecuador would be enough for the Brazilians, while an LDU win by one goal would take the tie to penalties.

Quito brings its own pressure, yet Palmeiras arrive backed by a solid recent away record in knockout ties. Their last setback on the road in such games came in the 2025 Campeonato Paulista final, a 0-0 draw that left them runners-up.

The clubs also met in the 2025 Libertadores semi-final. LDU won 3-0 in Quito, one of Abel Ferreira’s heaviest defeats in eliminators, before Palmeiras roared back 4-0 at the Nubank Parque to reach the final.

For the decisive trip, Palmeiras will be without captain Gustavo Gómez, suspended for accumulated yellow cards after his booking in the first game.

Managing the advantage in the altitude and a partisan atmosphere now becomes the task, with LDU obliged to chase.
