00:00 [Music]
00:05 [Crowd cheering]
00:09 Away we go in Ambato, Ecuador.
00:13 Over to the far side, Gregory Anangonol back into the action.
00:18 It breaks kindly and it's smashed home by Ismael Diaz!
00:22 [Crowd cheering]
00:28 Ismael Diaz with the opener. They'll check for offside. It looks clean for those in blue.
00:35 A hint of fortune as there was a swing and a miss at the back from Marlon Medranda.
00:41 [Crowd cheering]
00:44 Quevedo. Fantastic body control and he sends Sifuente forward. Now slipping it in behind.
00:50 Chip over the goalkeeper. Off the bar. Sifuente follows it up and doubles the lead
00:57 for the transit to Azul. And looking like quite the astute offseason acquisition.
01:05 It's Tecnico nil. Universidad Católica 2. Luciano Nieto thought he had the goal with his delicate
01:14 chip which beat the goalkeeper but couldn't beat the frame of goal. It pops down off the bar.
01:21 [Crowd cheering]
01:27 So it's swung in onto the near post. Flicked on and over the bar.
01:30 That is a sensational pass brought down by Diaz.
01:36 He's looking for the return. Clipped over the top. Diaz! Swing and a miss.
01:42 [Crowd cheering]
01:48 Fabulous scoop ball over the top from Facundo Martínez.
01:52 [Crowd cheering]
01:54 Now Diaz has a problem in the aftermath. Very nearly a third for the visitors.
02:02 [Crowd cheering]
02:04 Thought he had that under control. He thought wrong. It's coming back the other way now.
02:08 Armas floating across in. Too much float really. Still claiming a foul.
02:15 The Rodillo Rojo play on as Maciel drops it into the chest of Pata. He bursts inside.
02:23 Pata lure. Made a good recovery to get a challenge on the shot. Goalkeeper spills it. He stays down.
02:32 [Crowd cheering]
02:33 Tecnico Universitario pull one back or do they? The referee
02:40 had spotted a foul on the goalkeeper. Perhaps the players just didn't hear it from Johnny Nostrosa.
02:48 We'll take another look. Well he's got the ball in his grasp. He does slide into Arboleda.
02:56 In all fairness to the defender.
03:00 It's not really the defender making the challenge. It's more so the goalkeeper
03:07 and his momentum carrying it.
03:09 [Crowd cheering]
03:15 We begin the second half with Universitario Cattolica.
03:18 This is the 16th and final matchup in the qualifying round of Sudamericana. Nieto keeps it alive.
03:30 A thumping finish from Diaz is ruled offside.
03:40 Nieto with the assist. His touch just lured in the last defender.
03:45 Managed to sneak it beyond the challenge of Guevara into Ismael Diaz who's a very dangerous man.
03:57 Of Carlos Arboleda a live look at the line drawing.
04:02 Oh it's exhilarating stuff here in the VAR booth.
04:07 [Crowd cheering]
04:13 It's a goal.
04:14 Ismael Diaz at the double. VAR overturns the on-field decision.
04:24 Their return trip to Chile next week. So the four losers from those aggregate scorelines
04:34 will also join up in the group stage with the 16 winners this week and the 12 teams.
04:40 And all of a sudden Universidad Cattolica once again flowing onto a counter into Quevedo.
04:49 Straight.
04:52 We'll get another look at that chance from a moment ago for Jardo with the pass across to Quevedo.
05:03 Struggling to connect passes now.
05:04 Leroy Hibblanco.
05:06 The hope.
05:11 And it's begun to fade for the home fans.
05:17 That might restore a bit. Goalkeeper playing with it at the back.
05:21 [Crowd cheering]
05:35 It's a well-directed header from Valles-Ciagas. He was...
05:38 High line held by Universidad Cattolica ahead of this dead ball situation.
05:47 Ceballos looks interested. Ceballos goes for goal.
05:52 Well if it was on frame goalkeeper could have thrown his glove.
06:01 Defensive clearance. It's a tackle with his head.
06:05 Carcelin claiming he got the ball. Acknowledging the yellow card as the referee.
06:15 Saw it the other way.
06:16 Ticking on over into the final 10 minutes of normal time.
06:27 We're going to look back at the foul.
06:35 [Crowd cheering]
06:37 C'mon as a sub in that 3-0 victory over El Nacional to begin their campaign here in 2024.
06:44 And he's on for his international debut. Try and see the Chateau-Lay-E through.
06:50 The leap from Lure. Unable to sprint away from the watchful eyes of Carlos Arboleda.
07:03 He hurries it forward into Caicedo. Caicedo curling across onto the spot.
07:08 Brilliant ball in. Ruiz Diaz straining.
07:15 And having to reach back to get a head on to it.
07:22 He's trying to use the pace of the cross goal in store for Tecnico Universitario here tonight.
07:29 Into the final four minutes of normal time.
07:34 In their recent run of form against Universidad Católica.
07:40 Not doing them any good here tonight. Just one loss in their last seven against their rivals in blue.
07:48 [Crowd cheering]
08:05 First time pass in behind for Poncets. Goalkeeper off his line. Cleanly into the slide tackle.
08:15 Rare opportunity and attack for Tecnico Universitario.
08:19 Arboleda digging it out from underneath his feet. Caicedo lofting one forward. Hopefully
08:29 pops to the edge. It's popped wide. Caicedo goals for zero. Goals conceded.
08:39 And they're opening two matches. Perfect start to life in Liga Pro. And qualifications secured.
08:46 They're looking for a cherry on top. It's into Fajardo off the chest.
08:50 Zé running forward as it is. A minimum of four minutes. Another opportunity for the home side.
08:56 Try and finish on a high note. Poncets header is well wide.
