**🏆 League III — Group D
📅 Round 35 Recap**
Only three rounds remain in the League III season, and Group D is heating up across every part of the table. From a tight promotion race to crowded playoff battles and a fierce fight for cup placements, Round 35 delivered crucial results.
🥇 Promotion Race (1st Place)
1. L.D.U. Quito (ECU) – 63 pts
LDU Quito remain in 1st place, holding onto the only automatic promotion slot. Their strong defense continues to carry them, and even though recent form has been mixed, they stay ahead entering the final three matches.
🎟️ Playoff Qualification Zone (2nd–9th)
These clubs remain in the hunt for the second promotion spot via the playoffs:
2. Bentin Tacna Heroica (PER) – 62 pts
Just one point behind the leaders, they remain firmly in the title and promotion mix.
3. Always Ready (BOL) – 62 pts
Level on points with Bentin, their superior goal-scoring keeps them in contention.
4. Mushuc Runa S.C. (ECU) – 59 pts
Still within striking distance of the top three.
5. Club Destroyers (BOL) – 59 pts
Neck-and-neck with Mushuc Runa as they compete for higher playoff seeding.
6. Blooming (BOL) – 58 pts
Another Bolivian side in excellent form and well-positioned for the postseason.
7. San Lorenzo de Almagro (ARG) – 56 pts
A strong run of results keeps them stable inside the playoff zone.
8. Club Plaza Colonia (URU) – 54 pts
Holding onto their playoff berth but facing pressure from behind.
9. Talleres de Córdoba (ARG) – 51 pts
Still safe in 9th, but Deportivo Táchira is trying to catch them.
🤝 Friendly Cup Qualification (10th Place)
10. Deportivo Táchira F.C. (VEN) – 50 pts
A competitive season leaves Táchira in a solid position for a Friendly Cup spot. They can still mathematically chase the playoffs, but they’ll need a late surge.
👑 King’s Cup Qualification (11th–12th)
These two teams currently hold the final cup-qualifying positions:
11. Independiente del Valle (ECU) – 49 pts
A very tight margin—just one point off 10th.
12. Metropolitanos F.C. (VEN) – 49 pts
Level with IDV but behind on goal differential. Their spot is far from secure with multiple teams closing in.
🔻 Bottom of the Table (No Relegation)
There is no relegation in League III, so even the struggling sides will remain next season. However, the standings are still competitive:
-
Zamora
-
Defensa y Justicia
-
Arameisk-Syrianska
-
Bucha
-
Centro Atlético Fénix
-
AIK
-
Anderlecht
-
Aledals IK – 28 pts
Aledals IK sit at the bottom, but they’ll look to finish strong over the final three rounds.
📊 Final Thoughts
Group D is shaping up for a dramatic finish:
-
LDU Quito lead by a single point.
-
Three teams tie at 62 points right behind them.
-
Five clubs sit between 58 and 51 points in the playoff battle.
