Morning After Futbol Hangover : Liga de Quito Wins Copa Libertadores

I couldn’t fit more peeps into my tiny ass apartment last night. Colombians watching Ingrid Betancourt and everyone watching the final of the Copa Libertadores which seemed to go on and on. Technically, based squarely on goals, Brazilian team Fluminense had more goals than Liga de Quito(3-1). But with the final split in two parts, both teams actually scored the same number of goals over both games(5-5), forcing last night’s match into overtime and then into penalties.
The Ecuas in my house were yelling “chucha la verga!” as the penalties were going down. But props to Jose Cevallos, who made three saves to give Liga de Quito their first Copa Libertadores title in their history. Liga also made history by becoming the first Ecuadorean club to ever win the Copa.
Copa Libertadores : Cry Me a River (Plate)

Many Latinas were watching Premio Lo Nuestro last night but not this Latina. Last night I settled with a glass of wine as the only woman in a room full of screaming male futbol fanatics to watch Colo Colo vs River Plate in the Copa Libertadores. The campeones de Chile, Colo Colo, were beat 2-1 by Argentina’s River Plate. The first goal via River’s Leonardo Ponzio came right as half-time began. The goal was protested by many of Colo’s players who say the whistle to restart play was never blown (I sure didn’t see or hear it blow). The second River goal came via Ernesto Farias in the second half of the game.
