Five days after finishing with Emelec’s perfect mark in the national championship (eight straight wins in eight matches), Deportivo Quito lost last night in the Capwell stadium, his condition of sole undefeated team in the tournament against the same opponent.

With a goal of Marlon De Jesus, at minute 60, Emelec retaliated and prevailed 1-0 over  Deportivo Quito, and with 27 points, they’re still on top of the scoreboard  (6 places above Barcelona and Liga de Quito).

From there, Deportivo Quito had no reaction and caused no danger. Emelec will play on May 2 against Brazilian Fluminense for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.

Marlon De Jesus ended the winning strike of Deportivo Quito.
