LDU Quito and Mirassol SP shared a 0-0 draw in Copa Libertadores at Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado. Referee Y. Perez took charge of a contest that never produced a goal, and the official scoreline stayed 0-0 from start to finish. Both sides used a 4-3-3, the visitors collected most of the yellow cards, and the hosts held a corner edge they could not turn into a winner.

Match Summary

LDU de Quito started Gonzalo Valle, Josué Cuero, Ricardo Adé, Luis Segovia, José Carabalí, Fernando Cornejo, Jesús Pretell, Sebastián González, Janner Corozo, Michael Estrada and Ruddy Mina in a 4-3-3. Mirassol used the same formation, with Walter, Lucas Oliveira, Chico, Denilson, Willian Machado, Victor Luis, Shaylon, Fernandinho, Daniel Borges, Gabriel Knesowitsch and André Luis named from the start.

The opening period stayed goalless. Denilson was shown a yellow card in the 12th minute. LDU Quito did not break through before the interval. R. Ade was booked in the 44th minute, the only caution the hosts received. Chico Kim was booked for Mirassol around half-time. The teams reached the break at 0-0.

The second half followed the same pattern, still without a goal. Andre Luis received a yellow card around the 60th minute. There were no red cards, and Y. Perez brought the contest to a close at 0-0.

Key Moments

Denilson's booking in the 12th minute set the disciplinary tone. Mirassol had to play the rest of a scoreless match with an early yellow already shown.

Cautions for R. Ade and Chico Kim around half-time arrived with the score still 0-0. That froze the end of the first half, because a second booking then would have been a heavy price for a game that had no lead to protect.

Andre Luis's yellow around the 60th minute left the visitors on three cautions with plenty of time left. The other swing was LDU Quito's corner count, seven to five. Those set pieces were the hosts' clearest verified attacking edge, and they still finished 0-0.

Match Statistics

LDU Quito won seven corners to five for Mirassol SP, the one attacking split that stood out. Discipline ran the other way. The hosts took one yellow card and the visitors three, with no red cards for either side.
