00:00Komebosu Americana against the Bolivian team, with the only exception in this time was the elimination of Makara by the Royal Paddy in the second round of the Sudamericana in 2019.
00:14Always Ready won all the matches they played in Komebosu Americana, won in 2020 and three in 2024.
00:24Has not received...
00:25Ball rolls with a merengue roar here at the Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado, Estadio Casablanca, the site for tonight's first leg in this Sudamericana playoff tie.
00:41Liga de Quito, the merengues and the all-white welcoming in the all-red of Always Ready.
00:47Well, CaƱasales, dip of the shoulder and he's got some support with Caraballi.
00:53Now Terrasas goes for a goal!
00:57Dominguez had it covered.
00:59It was high up the pitch and CaƱasales, the new striker for Always Ready.
01:04See what Terrasas trying to do, catch it at the instep.
01:09That was actually restarted a bit earlier than they did in Ecuador.
01:13It began sooner.
01:15Julio, behind QuiƱones, he brings it in stride!
01:19And Liga de Quito strike first!
01:22Who else but Alex Arce to apply the finishing touch.
01:29Look at this take from QuiƱones, balls behind him.
01:33Reaches back to pull it in his stride and then he gets his eyes up and lays it on a platter for Alex Arce.
01:41And he has been eating in 2024.
01:46Top score in Ecuador and the break hasn't cooled his hot hands.
01:53Tap in for Arce.
01:56He scores the first Sudamericana goal this campaign for the defending champions.
02:02It's the first goal under their new manager, Vitamina.
02:06Swung in, great service!
02:08Headed over the bar.
02:11The captain, Luis Caicedo, back in his home country.
02:16Chance to equalize.
02:19Such fantastic service.
02:23The ball whipped in from the corner.
02:28And he just can't quite leap high enough to get his head over the ball.
02:33Zambrano, the right footed option.
02:35Zambrano, the right footed option in the near side corner.
02:39Instead it's the left, whipped towards the back post.
02:42Free header, falls to Ade!
02:45He blasts it in!
02:47And Liga de Quito double the lead!
02:58What a way to score his first goal for the club.
03:03Unmarked the header at the back post.
03:07Hints of luck as it's deflected off Caicedo, straight to Ade.
03:12But there's no luck about the finish.
03:16His knee over the ball, perfect technique.
03:20And precision as well.
03:22He hammers it into the side netting, Ade.
03:25It's his first career goal in Continental Club competitions.
03:31Indicate they could turn that margin around.
03:34However, Liga de Quito are flowing into feet for Johan Julio.
03:39He's into the area!
03:41Punched away by Baroja!
03:43But out for a corner, we'll take a look at the save by Alain Baroja.
03:47Good height for the goalkeeper.
03:49Pretty close to him as well.
03:53Just caught it on his toe.
03:58Zambrano.
04:00Awkward height. Quintero deals with it well.
04:02Quintero striding forward.
04:04Quintero!
04:06Oh, it flew off his boot!
04:08Look at that, Baroja!
04:10El Alto.
04:12We're high in the mountains here in Quito as well.
04:15And the ball can jump off your boot if you hit it pure.
04:19Just like Jose Quintero did just then.
04:22That is close.
04:24As it angles towards the top corner.
04:27Applause from the new manager for that.
04:30The youngster as he hit it right back for where it came after he was picked out by Terrazas.
04:35But the move continues here for always ready.
04:38Gonzalez!
04:41As it approached the goal.
04:46Creating the space well.
04:48With that.
04:50Two-legged tie.
04:52Away we go for the second half.
04:54Away we go for the second half of action from the Asadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado.
04:58They've of course switched ends.
05:00And it's the home side.
05:02Liga de Quito right to left now.
05:04In the lead.
05:06Two goals to no with the ball to start this second half of play.
05:09A draw and just two losses in front of their home crowd so far in 2024.
05:15Cornejo keeps it going.
05:17Alto Garay lines up a long-range strike.
05:20It bounces back to Quintero.
05:22Quintero!
05:24Disguises his pass.
05:27Johan Julio!
05:30Smashes it into the top corner!
05:37...refereeing because it leads to this Liga de Quito goal.
05:41Not sure that's who the pass was intended for.
05:44But just look at this. Quintero giving it the eyes.
05:47And he disguises his pass so well.
05:50It was Julio who raced in to take it perhaps away from Cornejo.
05:56It's such a tight angle.
05:58How has he squeezed that into the top corner?
06:02Baroja made...
06:04Quinones.
06:07Fires his cross low.
06:09Two-headers takes it away.
06:11Zambrano.
06:13Pass to defenders.
06:16Villamil.
06:17Villamil.
06:20Finding Julio.
06:22Julio. One-two.
06:24Julio's cross!
06:26Skyed by Alto Garay.
06:35And it's a Liga de Quito debut for the 25-year-old Ecuadorian Dario Mina.
06:41Now then, another ball over the top causing problems.
06:44And it could be...
06:46Rodriguez pulls one back for all who's ready!
06:51How pivotal could that goal be?
06:54We'll take a closer look.
06:56It's a tight one, isn't it?
06:58CaƱozales, his first touch let him down.
07:01His shot was blocked by Aave.
07:03That's a composed finish on the rebound from Darlene Rodriguez.
07:09Brought on at halftime.
07:12And it's quite the impact off the bench from the 20-year-old.
07:21And it is offside. No goal.
07:24Over the corner, it's an outswinger to come from the left back towards the penalty spot.
07:28Brave header to clear by Caicedo.
07:30Rodriguez touches it forward.
07:32Rodriguez!
07:34His one-on-one with the goalkeeper!
07:36Darlene Rodriguez!
07:37Rodriguez!
07:40Too cheeky with the chip.
07:42Dominguez there to catch it.
07:44Caicedo still down after his clearance.
07:47And there's no offside from inside your own half.
07:50Rodriguez laid into a one-on-one situation.
07:53He went for the audacious chip.
07:56And he got it all wrong, the youngster.
07:59Oh, it's angled towards Mina.
08:03Mina.
08:05On the end line.
08:07Header flash swiped by Cornejo.
08:09For the first leg here in Quito.
08:12A resounding victory for...
08:18Great victory for La Liga de Quito.
08:20Honestly?
08:22I'm not sure if we could have scored a couple more.
08:23It was 3-0 at home.
08:25Home was ready.
08:27It was close.
08:29Had several attempts.
08:31But we're going to get at least one of them to fall with one goal.
08:34Kittinson back.
