The first final of the League PRO Serie A 2020 ended with a draw. Barcelona matched a goal against Liga de Quito at the Monumental stadium in Guayaquil
In the opening minutes of the game, the local team tried to bring the actions to the white field with Díaz, Pineida, Castillo and Álvez, but without the depth to provoke any action of real danger.

Progressing in the first part, the game got a bit more, even though they didn’t show much. In the 30th minute, a header from Riveros at the exit of a corner led to an inextremis save by ‘Choclo’ Quinteros as Darío Aimar was ready to define at the edge of the small area.
The 33rd minute was the most obvious of the first half, which was in favor of LDU when a shot by Junior Sornoza crashed into the horizontal plane of Javier Burrai’s goal.
LDU continued to set the tone for the bet, and after that, Martínez Borja had an option on the edge of the small area that he couldn’t connect properly. When it appeared that the first half was going to be goalless, an action on the left led to Jhojan Julio coming in to define himself between Burrai’s legs.
Before the teams went to the dressing rooms, there was a disagreement between the two benches due to the problem of extra time when the goal was scored. As a result, assistants Marcos Connena at BSC and Óscar Quagliata at LDU were expelled from school.

The VAR returned a few minutes later as the protagonist watching a possible penalty from Riveros to Martínez Borja who turned out to be outside the area, but it was not enough relief for the yellow as Darío Aimar immediately took a ball as last man on goal . after a bad shot from Jhojan Julio at 80 ′.
