LDU Quito Reach Semifinals After James Rodríguez's Missed Penalty
Liga de Quito, playing with one less player throughout the entire second half due to Alexander Alvarado's red card, bunkered down, resisted, and won the penalty shootout (5-4) against São Paulo, securing their place in the Copa Sudamericana semifinals, where they will face Argentina's Defensa y Justicia.
The São Paulo team managed to level the tie in regular time (1-0), but they fell short in their quest to replicate the 2022 final due to a missed penalty kick by James Rodríguez, who went from hero to villain tonight at the Morumbí.
