Commanded by a pair of Argentine goals, the Ecuadorian team Independiente del Valle won the second Copa Libertadores in its history this Saturday, beating Sao Paulo 2-0 in the match played at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium in Córdoba, Argentina .

In a game that they controlled from start to finish, Independiente was able to win the second South American title in its history and the second in just three years, after winning in 2019.

The Argentines Lautaro Díaz and Lorenzo Faravelli were the secret of the title that the Ecuadorian team won at the expense of a Sao Paulo that could barely face its rival.

In the case of Díaz, he advanced his team just by minute 13′ of the first half when Faravelli gave up a deep pass so that he could finish off a cross and put the giant killer to win.

By the second half, Faravelli himself, a figure with a goal and an assist, declared the victory for Independiente at 67′ at the end of a counterattack after of a collective play in which they touched the ball more than 20 occasions from a goal kick.
