Independiente del Valle delivered a dominant performance by defeating Vasco da Gama 4-0 in Quito in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana playoff for a spot in the round of 16. With goals from Mateo Carabajal, a brace by Patrick Mercado, and one from Claudio Spinelli, the Ecuadorian team coached by Javier Rabanal took full advantage of Lucas Pitóns early red card to control the match. Although Juan Cazares missed a penalty in the final moments, the Rayados are firmly on track for qualification. The second leg will take place next Tuesday in Rio de Janeiro, with the winner set to face Mushuc Runa. #IndependienteDelValle #CascodeGama #Sudamericana Catch the latest highlights of Ligue 1, Turkish Süper Lig, Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana on our YouTube channel.Follow the latest news on beIN SPORTS.com and stream all our matches on our beIN SPORTS CONNECT app or on our beIN XTRA channels.Download beIN SPORTS CONNECT on Apple devices: https://tinyurl.com/y4bd3oshDownload beIN SPORTS CONNECT on Android devices: https://tinyurl.com/yxlst4vj
