A 2-0 victory over Libertad FC, at the Estadio Reina del Cisne, allows Liga de Quito to remain firm as leaders of the second stage of the Pro League.

Argentinian Lisandro Alzugaray and Peruvian Paolo Guerrero contributed goals for Liga to add 30 points, while waiting for Barcelona SC (26 points) not to win the Clásica del Astillero against Emelec at George Capwell’s ground.

With this Sunday’s result, the Quiteños emerge as virtual winners of this stage of the tournament, securing their ticket to play in the title final against Independiente del Valle.

While Libertad, which has 24 points and is in the fourteenth position, still cannot escape relegation, because it is only 2 units ahead of Gualaceo (22, -27 goal difference) and Guayaquil City (22, -22). (D)
