    Recopa Sudamericana 1st Leg

    Internacional 0-1 LDU Quito

    As the semi finals of the Copa Libertadores take place, the 2009 Recopa Sudamericana is also taking place at the moment. This game is the equivalent of the UEFA Super Cup but rather than a one off game it takes place over two legs with the Libertadores winners getting home advantage in the second leg.

    This year's final sees 2008 Libertadores winners LDU Quito take on Copa Sudamericana winners Internacional. The first leg was played in Porto Alegre on Wednesday and it was LDU Quito who grabbed a 1-0 lead to take back to Ecuador next week, Claudio Bieler scoring at the second attempt after 57 minutes. Internacional will be without Bolívar for the second leg after he was sent off with 18 minutes to go.
