In a tense encounter on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, Liga de Quito and Flamengo battled to a 0-0 draw in the third round of Group C of the Copa Libertadores at the Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado. This result leaves Liga de Quito at the top of Group C with five points, while Flamengo sits in second place with four points.
The match was crucial for both teams, especially for Liga de Quito, who entered the game leading the group with four points after their previous two matches. Flamengo, on the other hand, was looking to rebound from a surprising defeat against Central Córdoba at the Maracanã Stadium, which left them needing a strong performance to stay competitive in the group.
Despite the home advantage, Liga de Quito and Flamengo could not find the back of the net throughout the 90 minutes of play, showcasing strong defensive strategies but lacking the finishing touch in front of goal. The stalemate was a disappointment for both sides, who had hoped to secure a vital win to bolster their positions in the group.
With this draw, Liga de Quito now leads Group C with five points, while Flamengo follows closely behind with four. Central Córdoba also has four points and is scheduled to face Deportivo Táchira, which could complicate matters further for Flamengo if Central Córdoba secures a win.
