00:00 trying to continue their dream.
00:05 The officials lead us out. The contest set to get underway shortly.
00:21 Who sounds the whistle and the ball is rolling in the Estadio Paz Rodriguez Delgado.
00:39 The most prolific club competition in all of South America.
00:45 QuiƱones can prowl forward a little bit. It's a good looking ball and it's just overhead.
00:51 A thumbs up from Alzagaray. Second chance opportunity maybe from distance.
00:56 Blazed over the bar but the hosts are asking the questions early on.
01:01 Struck it well enough.
01:09 Had a little bit of dip on it just too late in the path of the ball's flight.
01:15 Now Alzagaray, the man to watch for the hosts.
01:20 POV. First time volley!
01:24 And it wasn't a horrible effort in the end.
01:28 This one though not on frame.
01:30 On the highest stages.
01:38 And has the technique to boot.
01:40 Clipped into the box. Headed on!
01:44 And Sebastian Brito's tested for the first time tonight.
01:48 A rather tame effort in the end but Liga de Quito testing the back line of Universitario early.
01:54 Michael Estrada's header.
01:57 Into the ground. It's the right idea.
02:01 Flicked on and out. Universitario trying to settle in offensively.
02:06 Here's Flores. Wriggling by two. Edison Flores!
02:09 Forced a good save out of Alexander Dominguez.
02:14 And Universitario have life.
02:16 Just wriggles by two midfielders.
02:20 And in the rain.
02:22 It wasn't the perfect form from Dominguez.
02:26 Good delivery. Better header!
02:34 Wide in the end from Matias Di Benedito.
02:37 But not by very much.
02:39 Diablo's faithful trying to spur their side on from the first corner kick of the night.
02:44 Driven delivery and it's in!
02:50 But the whistle sounds and the arms go up from Liga de Quito.
02:56 This one will be chalked off.
03:02 And that's why...
03:04 Jose Quintero...
03:08 Not allowing Sebastian Britos to go up for the ball.
03:12 Piove is certainly that. He can play a pass to just about anyone.
03:17 And it is a very good pass from Piove.
03:20 Quintero's received it and turned his man.
03:22 And crossed it into the box. Arce!
03:29 Left footed cross from Jose Quintero.
03:32 Arce rose to meet it.
03:35 Did the right thing by just trying to head it across the frame of goal.
03:38 Alzugaray picks up on the poor clearance.
03:45 Ezequiel Piove!
03:48 Bouncing strike. Good save. Danger not clear for Universitario.
03:53 Flag has gone up for offside.
03:56 [crowd noise]
04:01 Defensively, job still not done for Universitario.
04:05 Ramirez...
04:07 Shaping one over the bar but just barely from Estrada.
04:12 And it's Michael Estrada who has gotten free in those lime green boots on a couple of occasions now.
04:25 He's not his first header in the way that Liga de Quito are playing. It certainly won't be his last.
04:29 Two arms up from the captain.
04:37 Piove likes to play these close to the keeper.
04:41 And it's another driven one. It bounced off of the keeper. And it's in!
04:45 Liga de Quito get their much deserved breakthrough.
04:55 In the Cunmebol Libertadores. His 15th in all competitions. It nearly went in straight from the corner kick.
05:01 Arce got his head to it.
05:04 Britos got a hand to it. Couldn't keep it out.
05:07 They all count the same.
05:14 No matter how it goes in.
05:17 But that goal could have huge ramifications.
05:23 Huge ramifications for Liga de Quito.
05:25 Look what it means to Adrian Gabarini.
05:31 The whistle sounds.
05:38 Here we go once again.
05:42 From the Estadio Pao Sur Rodriguez Delgado.
05:46 Liga de Quito with a 1-0 advantage over Universitario through 45.
05:52 Now Estrada is free. Estrada!
05:56 And the celebrations are cut short again.
06:04 Michael Estrada.
06:07 Just a fraction too early.
06:10 Excellent first touch and then the nutmeg with the second.
06:20 The numbers may be again for Liga de Quito.
06:22 All the way towards Estrada again.
06:26 Here is Michael Estrada!
06:29 Saved at the first time of asking and put home!
06:32 And this one will count!
06:35 Lissandra Alzugaray!
06:39 Doubles the advantage for Liga de Quito.
06:44 Michael Estrada disappears.
06:48 Michael Estrada disappointed that he couldn't score.
06:51 It's another good save from Sebastian Britos.
06:54 And he is well onside this time, Alzugaray.
06:57 With the easiest goal he will ever have.
07:01 But what a meaningful goal it could be.
07:04 The shot through the legs of the defender.
07:09 Britos makes the stop and doesn't get enough on it.
07:15 Nobody picked up the follow-up run from Lissandra Alzugaray.
07:19 And shortly after a second was disallowed.
07:26 They move on with a tie. Liga de Quito does not.
07:32 Here comes Universitario.
07:34 The blocked shot nearly got behind Alexander Dominguez.
07:39 Scramble to make a stop from the deflection.
07:42 And the shot may have come off the post rather than the hand of Dominguez.
07:50 Took a wicked deflection.
07:53 Running on was Villanueva.
07:58 Villanueva rather with a second bite of the apple.
08:06 And his shot goes out for a corner.
08:10 And a few seconds later a chance to score on his own.
08:12 Gets his own rebound.
08:18 Back to Piove.
08:20 Now Quintero has the overlap.
08:23 And set crosses it to the middle.
08:26 And Alex Arce could have had a brace.
08:29 Will allow play to go on for now.
08:34 But not for very long at all.
08:39 Liga de Quito are going back to the Carnaval Sudamericana.
08:43 Two goals tonight.
08:46 Keeps their international football dreams alive.
