00:00On the line and we are underway. Liga Nikita host Sao Paulo in his first leg of the Libertadores' quarterfinals.
00:11Le ball forward, immediately pulling Sao Paulo under pressure.
00:15It's cleared away.
00:16Montero, down the right.
00:19A very positive presence que Jean Flanque, as well as he has from that right centre-back position.
00:26As soon as he seems to receive the ball again, his first instinct really is going forward.
00:32This time he quips a great ball at the top of Ramirez! Liga Nikita leads!
00:37But look at the run from Ramirez, he's on the move early, times it beautifully, the pass waits into perfection.
00:45And it's not a bad finish either.
00:47Cedric Suarez, undone by the run of Ramirez.
00:59Valera goes back to his goalkeeper and again berates Cedric Suarez or someone over on this near side.
01:10Either Suarez, or one of the forward players who must have come wide, is berating him on where he should have been or where he wants them to be for that forward pass.
01:18Al Palo have made inroads instead, down the left. Enzo Diaz will chase this one. Diaz digs out the cross.
01:24Luciano!
01:29Luciano's acrobatic volley goes wide in the post.
01:38Blocked, however.
01:39A lively introduction from the pair.
01:45A shot that comes in, that wasn't quite.
01:58Given away cheaply, chance maybe.
02:00Not making the most of it, the shot comes in, it's number two!
02:03On the bench.
02:06Cabeza favoured to come on for Medina.
02:10Picks up an injury himself.
02:13That thrusts Estrada into the action.
02:17And this was his moment.
02:20First time finish.
02:21First time finish.
02:35Lovely interplay.
02:36Wonderful build-up.
02:37Saved by the goalkeeper.
02:38Moment of brilliance from the Brazilians.
02:41Estadio Delgado Paz.
02:42And as the full-time whistle goes, not only is the unbeaten record intact, but the Ecuadorians take a 2-0 lead to Brazil next week.
03:00Brian Ramirez and Michael Estrada with the goals that give Liga the key top, the sizeable advantage ahead of next week's second leg.
03:07Next week's second leg.
