Melgar could not show its best version in Quito and suffered a tough 3-0 defeat against Independiente del Valle in the semifinals of the Copa Sudamericana. The team led by Pablo Lavallén had opportunities to score, but the effectiveness was more in favor of the Ecuadorian team and they will return to Peru empty-handed.
The home team had a different situation and managed to find the key to victory. Richard Schunke, Lorenzo Faravelli, and Lautaro Ariel Díaz were the men in charge of overcoming Carlos Cáceda's defense.
Although the chance of advancing is very complicated, the 'rojinegros' will have to work twice as hard to go in search of the feat and continue making history in the continental championship, after having eliminated great clubs like Deportivo Cali and Internacional.
Finally, it is important to mention that the team from Arequipa will face 'Patrimonial' once again on Wednesday, September 7th, at 19:00 in Peru and Ecuador, at the Estadio Monumental de la UNSA.
