With this result, Dragão secured the leadership of Group F with 13 points, just ahead of the Ecuadorian team, the only team that had the possibility of taking the place from the Brazilians.
Despite getting the final victory, the team led by coach Jorginho saw LDU open the scoring in the 28th minute of the first half, with a very strong kick from Hoyos. But at halftime, the coach put on the field the one who would score the goal of the classification, Gabriel Baralhas, in the 19th minute of the second half.
After securing themselves in the Sudamericana, Atlético-GO plays for the Brasileiro, where they take on Internacional next Monday (30).
