Michael Hoyos at LDU Quito (Ecuador)

I think you hit the nail in the head.

 

Goal:

Damn.. that’s a hell of a hit by California’s own Michael Hoyos in the Sudamericana. His strike puts LDU Quito up 1-0 on Atletico GO https://t.co/C3ThkHK10E

I'm not quite sure what happened here, but it sounds like 2 clubs traded the rights to players who were playing there on loan:

That should mean he stays with LDU on a permanent deal.

He did score recently against his parent club:

It’s kinda crazy he hasn’t been able to get an MLS offer. He’s been looking

 

Congratulations to American winger @HoyosMichael11 for winning the CONMEBOL Recopa with a Independiente del Valle with a shootout win over Flamengo after a 1-1 agg finish. The Orange County native converted his shootout (2nd IDV taker) penalty w/ the “Josef Martinez hop” run-up https://t.co/AcNRSPvlKE

A brace so far tonight:

The 67th professional goal from California’s own Michael Hoyos is a nice one - to give Independiente del Valle a 2-0 lead on Corinthians in the Copa Libertadores. It was his 2nd of the game and now he’s pushing for a hat trick https://t.co/LblnHVoLaW

Scored in Libertadores, but missed a vital PK.

California native Michael Hoyos scored early but then went with the “brinco” & misses a penalty that would’ve sent this series to a shootout. https://t.co/OFaTXjdiOr

Meanwhile in Ecuador, Michael Hoyos has four goals in the first five games of the Ecuadorian season for Independiente de Valle. Last night he scored in a 1-1 draw vs. Aucas.

IDV has 11 points from the five games to sit in first.

Hoyos is tied atop the scoring table in the early going.

he got an assist in a win

 

Hoyos started and played 77 minutes of a 2-1 loss to Palmeiras in the Libertadores. With one match left of this stage, they could finish either 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, all with different implications for their continental season.

 

Best current uncapped American?

 

Hoyos started in the Copa Sudamericana against Boca Juniors tonight.

 

Independiente lost 1-0 to Boca Juniors last night and on aggregate to be eliminated. No surprise or shame in that. Hoyos had a couple shots and a yellow card, with among the lowest ratings on the squad on the night. Edinson Cavani scored the only goal.

 

Hoyos subbed on in the 86th minute of a 3-1 league win over Cumbaya last night.

 

Scores a late pile-on goal and Independiente go even on points at the top of the table.

Starts:

 

Libertadores GOAL for Hoyos in a start against River Plate. Up 2-1 and in advancement position in the live table.

 

Hoyos starts against Barcelona (not that one) in the Libertadores. Need a win and help from River Plate to advance, while a draw qualifies them for the Sudamericana. 0-0 halfway through the first half.

 

Subbed off after 54 minutes last night. Independiente rallied from 1-0 down to a 2-1 win after that, but because of other results, they still wind up third in the group on a tiebreaker. On to the Copa Sudamericana.
