Ecuador Wrap: Deportivo Quevedo stay alive

Quevedo's stunning late-season flurry has given them hope of sustaining their top-flight status for 2014, as their fourth win in five took them to 22 points in the second stage of the season.

Jose Mora's men remain in the drop zone, with points from both phases contributing to relegation, with Quevedo (45 points) in striking distance of LDU Loja (46), Deportivo Cuenca (46) and Manta (48) heading to the final match of 2013.

LDU Loja also won to stay above Quevedo in the relegation battle, as they beat Independiente del Valle 2-1 at home - arresting a deficit inside the game's final 20 minutes.

Cuenca led when Andres Rios struck prior to the half-time interval, but Quito equalised before the whistle through Enrique Vera prior to Luis Santana's 80th-minute winner.
