LDU Quito vs Always Ready

LDU Quito snatched a thrilling 3-2 victory over Always Ready at the Rodrigo Paz Delgado, topping Group G of the Copa Libertadores 2026. Substitute Deyverson was the night's hero, scoring twice in the final stretch to overturn a deficit the Bolivian visitors had held since the first half. Yerlin Quiñónez broke the deadlock for the hosts at just 7 minutes, but Always Ready hit back through Enrique Triverio (18') and Fernando Nava (40') to lead 2-1 at the interval. The Ecuadorians thought they had levelled when Gabriel Villamil headed home at 72', but VAR ruled it out for offside. Deyverson stepped up regardless, equalising at 77' before firing in the decisive winner deep into stoppage time at 89'. The result crowned LDU Quito as group winners and booked their place in the round of 16. Always Ready, already eliminated before kick-off, closed out a difficult Libertadores campaign with nothing to show for it.
