This is how the League reached the semifinals

With one man less for almost the entire second half, League of Quito qualified for the semifinals of the Copa Sudamericana by beating Sao Paulo 5-4 on penalties this Thursday in Brazil, where they lost 1-0 in regulation time.

Leaguewho won 2-1 in Quitolast week, will fight for a place in the final with Defensa y Justicia, which eliminated the surprising Botafogo, leader of the Brazilian championship, on Wednesday in Argentina (3-2 on aggregate).

The King of Cups of Ecuador, led by Argentine Luis Zubeldía, controlled the match at the Morumbí stadium until he was left with ten men due to the expulsion of his ’10’, Alexander Alvarado, just beginning the second half (49).

Commanded by Dorival Junior, the São Paulo tricolor won from then on and sent the series to penalties thanks to a header from Ecuadorian defender Robert Arboleda (77), in a corner taken by Colombian midfielder James Rodríguez.

But James, who had his best game since arriving in Brazil in July, missed his shot from the target spot, where the Ecuadorians were infallible.

– Face to face –

As he had already done in Quito, League It made Sao Paulo look bad, with the difference that this time it achieved it in a field where the tricolor feels safe.

The Brazilians, runners-up in the 2022 Sudamericana and with an irregular performance in the Brasileirao (11th), won the four previous cup matches played at home.

And they had not even settled when Alvarado (1), taking advantage of a defensive mistake, unleashed a long-range bomb that demanded goalkeeper Rafael.

The shot was a warning from the Ecuadorians: they did not arrive at Morumbí to limit themselves to defending the advantage obtained in Quito.

The message deepened with the ticking of the clock and a new test of Rafael’s reflexes, this time in a ride by Jhojan Julio (29) from midfield that culminated with a low right hand.

Without finding spaces and appealing to the skill of Lucas Moura, Sao Paulo shook off the Ecuadorian fierceness with a shot by the Argentine Jonathan Calleri (26) to the body of the experienced goalkeeper Alexander Domínguez and a left footed shot by Luciano (27) that grazed the right post .

– Lime and sand –

Leaguechampion of the 2008 Libertadores and the 2009 Sudamericana, maintained at the beginning of the second half the same disposition with which it began: leading the game to a dispute in the midfield and trying to force some error from the rival.

But the expulsion of Alvarado, for a harsh tackle on Alisson with his boots raised, shook the boards of Zubeldía and Dorival Júnior.

To take advantage of the extra man, the Brazilian opted for offensive cards, such as midfielders Wellington Rato (58) and Rodríguez (67).

Sao Paulo, three-time Libertadores champion and winner of the 2012 Sudamericana, its last great conquest, began to dominate. AND Leagueon his side, took shelter in his area and the Peruvian center forward Paolo Guerrero barely carried out sacrificial tasks.

Recovered from the blow that Alvarado gave him, Alisson almost evened the series (56) with a shot from outside the area that crashed into Domínguez’s left post.

That shot was the first of several warnings that history was about to change. It finally changed when Arboleda jumped like a kangaroo to connect, with his head, a corner taken by James.

The São Paulo players relentlessly sought a comeback, but Domínguez defended his goal well, despite some setbacks, to send the series to penalties.

From the white point James erred and kept alive the dream of League to lift his second South American.
