The most important match of the semester is played by Liga de Quito against Magallanes, for the fourth matchday of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana. At 19:00, this Tuesday, May 23, the match will be played at the El Teniente stadium in Rancagua.
The white team, led by Luis Zubeldía, has no chance of winning the First Stage of LigaPro, so they are now focusing on the international tournament, where they are the leader of Group A with seven points.
A victory in Chile would allow them to get closer to qualifying for the round of 16, since after this match, they will play the next two matches at their stadium, the Rodrigo Paz. Away from home, LDU has achieved a harvest of four points: they won 2-1 against Universidad César Vallejo in Peru, and then drew 0-0 with Botafogo in Brazil.
At home, Liga defeated Magallanes 4-0, with goals from José Angulo (2), Mauricio Martínez, and an own goal by Fernando Piñeiro. To face Magallanes this Tuesday, the coach brings back Ezequiel Piovi and Renato Ibarra, who were absent for three weeks. They both played a few minutes last Friday against Técnico Universitario in the local tournament, where LDU won 2-1.
Their full-back Leonel Quiñónez won't be able to play due to suspension, but he traveled with the team to collaborate in the training sessions. In the Sudamericana, Magallanes only has 2 points thanks to the draws they achieved at home: 2-2 with Botafogo and 2-2 with César Vallejo.
The possible LDU starting lineup for this match would be: Alexander Domínguez; José Quintero, Ricardo Adé, Facundo Rodríguez, Richard Mina; Ezequiel Piovi, Mauricio Martínez, Lisandro Alzugaray, Johan Julio; Alexander Alvarado, and José Angulo.
