LDU Quito had a very solid Copa Libertadores group stage, finishing top of their group. The Round of 16, however, handed them an awkward opponent in Mirassol - a side they had shared a group with and who had matched them on points. To make things more uncomfortable, the Ecuadorians had lost 0-2 to the Brazilians away from home in the group stage, a result they were surely mindful of going into the first leg.
Despite being the away side, LDU Quito did not simply sit back. They held plenty of possession, threatened regularly, and created five clear chances. That said, they could easily have lost: Mirassol opened the scoring on 15 minutes, and the equaliser only came late in the match.
Even so, a draw leaves LDU Quito in a decent position ahead of the second leg. They also go into it in good spirits - last weekend's win over Aucas should give them an extra boost of confidence before what is effectively a quarter-final place decider.
Match Results: LDU Quito
Mirassol Team Overview
Mirassol's last competitive match was on in the Brazilian Série A, when they were heavily beaten at home by fellow Copa Libertadores representatives Flamengo (1-5).
The match statistics were as follows (Mirassol vs Flamengo):
- Possession: 43% vs 57%;
- Corner kicks: 4 vs 3;
- Fouls: 12 vs 4;
- Yellow cards: 3 vs 0;
- Shots on target: 5 vs 8.
Mirassol head into the second leg with far less reason for optimism. They have gone five matches without a win, and last weekend suffered a heavy home defeat to Flamengo.
The first leg against LDU Quito only adds to the gloom. Home advantage matters enormously in South American football, and Mirassol failed to make use of it. If anything, they were the worse side on the day and came closer to losing than winning. Taking the game to their opponents away from home looks even less likely.

⭐ Editor's Pick
The bookmakers make LDU Quito clear favourites for the second leg, and it's hard to argue with that assessment. Even away from home, the Ecuadorian side looked sharper and created more dangerous chances than their opponents - at their own ground, that pressure should only increase. Mirassol are also in poor form on the road, losing 6 of their last 7 away matches. Our main bet is LDU Quito to Win. Predicted correct score: 2-0.
