Liga de Quito faces adversity as key player Renato Ibarra sustains injury during Sudamericana final clash against Fortaleza.
Maldonado, Ecuador – In a highly anticipated CONMEBOL Sudamericana final between Liga de Quito and Fortaleza, fans were left in dismay as the White-and-Blues lost the services of star player Renato Ibarra due to a mid-game injury. There was a crucial moment that may change the outcome of the match during the intense and physical fight.
As both Ecuadorians and Brazilians strived to find a breakthrough on the field, goalkeepers from both teams remained mere spectators in the first half. The referee’s continual involvement to resolve many confrontations and violations, however, dominated the play.
Liga de Quito, in particular, found themselves accumulating a number of yellow cards that will serve as a warning heading into the second half. Yet, the most alarming incident for the White-and-Blues occurred in the 40th minute when Renato Ibarra was forced to exit the game prematurely due to injury.
Liga de Quito and its loyal followers missed the Ecuadorian winger terribly since he had been a vital member of the squad throughout the Sudamericana campaign. Ibarra’s departure was attributed to a muscle discomfort in the back of his leg, which resulted in his substitution. The responsibility of filling Ibarra’s shoes fell to Lisandro Alzugaray, who entered the match as his replacement.
