LDU Quito struck twice in stoppage time through Michael Estrada to force the shootout after Palmeiras had led twice through Marlon Freitas and a Vitor Roque penalty. Goalkeeper Carlos Miguel saved spot-kicks from Lucas Rodríguez and Luis Segovia to secure the win.
“It didn't need to be this painful, but it's all in God's hands. We are prepared for whatever comes.”
