LDU de Quito secured a commanding 2-0 victory over Emelec at the Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado in a fiery Liga Pro encounter. The home side established their dominance early, with J. Corozo opening the scoring in the second minute, expertly set up by Y. Quinonez. LDU doubled their advantage just minutes later, as L. Segovia found the back of the net, assisted by Deyverson. Despite a yellow card for Emelec's S. Valencia and a tactical substitution for the visitors, LDU maintained control. The match took a dramatic turn when J. Corozo was shown a red card just before halftime, reducing LDU to ten men. However, the numerical disadvantage did not deter LDU’s defensive resolve in the second half, as they successfully weathered Emelec's attempts to get back into the game, ultimately holding on for a crucial three points.
