Independiente del Valle of Ecuador won its first South American Cup Winners’ Cup by beating Flamengo 5-4 on penalties this Tuesday at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro, witnessing a new setback for the team led by the Portuguese Vítor Pereira.
The ‘Matagiantes’ from the city of Sangolquí honored his nickname before one of the most powerful payrolls in Americawho squandered his third chance to win a title so far in 2023 due, in large part, to his definition errors in the first half.
The Uruguayan Giorgian de Arrascaeta, 45 seconds from the end of the match (90+6), sent the series to extra time (Del Valle won 1-0 last week), where equality remained.
On penalties, goalkeeper Moisés Ramírez saved the Uruguayan’s shot and gave him the overall victory to the Ecuadorians, who scored their five shots.
