00:00 [Ball rolling]
00:06 [Whistle]
00:07 [Ball rolling]
00:09 Bola Orlando! The ball rolls at the Arena Castelão!
00:14 [Ball rolling]
00:16 57,000 in attendance here at the Arena Castelão over the weekends.
00:21 [Ball rolling]
00:22 Lucero!
00:23 [Ball rolling]
00:26 Well, as he turned, he had one thought in his mind. It was to unleash a cannon towards goal.
00:33 [Ball rolling]
00:36 [Ball rolling]
00:41 Hoyos has it intercepted. Fortaleza looking swift on the counter.
00:47 Lucero trying to prod it towards Iago Pikachu with the outside of his boot.
00:52 Coming over to see to the danger, including Edson Restrepo.
00:56 [Ball rolling]
01:03 Now then, long range again.
01:06 And this time it draws a save from Mustafa Zewailisson.
01:13 Able to run into his effort. Plenty of power behind it.
01:18 [Whistle]
01:19 It's Pochettino to deliver the second corner. Curling it in to the six.
01:24 Good ball. Now it's out to the edge!
01:26 [Ball rolling]
01:28 Hercules! Hercules! What a strike!
01:33 [Ball rolling]
01:35 Living up to his namesake.
01:37 Hercules with a thunderbolt to put Fortaleza on top. It's 1-0.
01:44 And again, Nacional Potosi just can't clear their lines. This time they are made to pay for it.
01:52 That's a dream for any player who just sits in wait on the edge of the area for a set piece.
02:01 Plenty of time to watch it bouncing on to him.
02:04 From Nacional Potosi and all of a sudden, Fortaleza sprinting on the break.
02:10 It's Lucero! Denied on the first.
02:15 But a second chance.
02:19 And he takes it with both hands. 1-Martin Lucero.
02:23 All it did was lead to a stunning Fortaleza break.
02:29 All sorts of options for Lucero. His teammates would have been frustrated had he been denied a goal.
02:36 Luckily for the number 9, the save from Mustafa ricochets right back into his path.
02:43 And his selfishness eventually rewarded.
02:49 [Ball rolling]
02:56 How close is this call?
02:59 The toe of Lucero is where they'll draw the line.
03:03 [Ball rolling]
03:08 This is one of the closer ones you will see in this modern age of VAR.
03:14 [Ball rolling]
03:20 In the end, the goal is confirmed.
03:23 [Ball rolling]
03:26 Onside by the narrowest of margins, 1-Martin Lucero.
03:31 Lucero touches for Dudu.
03:36 Hercules, the goal scorer. Now Zewailison.
03:43 Round the corner, first time, Iago Pikachu. Now a 1-2 with Dudu.
03:46 He had Machuca at the back stick. It's Zewailison on the volley.
03:51 Bruno Pacheco for Machuca!
03:54 Inches wide!
03:59 Wave after wave of Fortaleza attack, bearing down on his goal.
04:04 And he knew that was a fraction away from the third.
04:11 Bright idea from Bruno Pacheco.
04:14 At least 7.
04:18 Right now it's looking like just 7.
04:21 That's 1 in qualifying and a 6 in the group.
04:25 Hercules towards Lucero!
04:32 With an assist to go with this goal, it's Fortaleza 3.
04:37 Nacional Poto Cinel.
04:40 Again, too much time and space afforded to a Fortaleza man in the attacking third.
04:45 Hercules, absolutely inch perfect over the head of Ortiz.
04:52 And now a 1-2.
04:57 Hercules, the goal scorer.
05:02 Bruno Pacheco, the goal scorer.
05:07 Hercules, the goal scorer.
05:12 The initial ball over the top is the one in question.
05:17 But that appears to be more bad news for Nacional Poto Cine.
05:23 Doesn't look likely to be overturned.
05:25 And indeed, goal is upheld.
05:29 And Britez.
05:36 Machuca, powering his way through a couple challenges.
05:40 Lucero now for Iago Pikachu!
05:51 Pikachu makes it 4-0.
05:53 Or does he?
05:55 That'll be tight.
05:56 Another lengthy VAR review to come to determine whether or not Iago Pikachu was just onside.
06:04 It was brilliant work from Emmanuel Machuca in the buildup.
06:08 Forcing his way through a couple of challenges to pick out Lucero.
06:22 Offside.
06:24 Goal chucked off the board for Fortaleza.
06:29 And again Cardona.
06:31 Lucero, first time to Zewail Isson.
06:34 Pings one into the corner.
06:36 Dulu, can he track it down? He can.
06:38 Dulu to Lucero!
06:40 Would have been some spectacular goal!
06:43 An exclamation point on this first half performance.
06:46 But Lucero smashes it over the bar.
06:52 Did it stay in?
06:53 Perhaps we would have gone to a review to try and determine it.
06:57 Will a new captain on the pitch make for a more spirited effort from the visitors from Bolivia?
07:03 We shall see.
07:04 Second half underway. They've switched ends of course.
07:07 And it's the home side who started.
07:09 Martín Prost a bit more in this second half.
07:11 The visitors, that'll be another remit you would think from their manager at halftime as Machuca.
07:16 Oh he's left five defenders in his wake.
07:19 Machuca, now Pochettino, rounding the corner!
07:24 Iago Pikachu!
07:27 Finishing off the move at the front post.
07:30 It's four in the group stage for Iago Pikachu, but it's all down to Emano Machuca.
07:41 What an effort from the Argentinian.
07:46 Weaving through a host of Nacional Poto C defenders, then Pochettino with that.
07:59 Iago Pikachu, threading it to Machuca.
08:02 Machuca!
08:12 For Machuca, it's his first career Sudamericano goal.
08:16 They just haven't had the answer for the young Argentinian on the dribble.
08:21 Again, too quick for his defender.
08:24 This time it was Oscar Baldomar.
08:28 It was his work that led to the goal chalked off in the first half.
08:33 His work led to the fourth earlier on in this second.
08:37 His header straight into Iago Pikachu.
08:40 Machuca can stretch his legs once again.
08:44 Machuca in behind, beautifully for Iago Pikachu.
08:48 But that was enough to finish second in the group and move through to the quarterfinals
08:52 where they'll take on a fourth division side of Brazil named Altos.
08:59 Lucas Sacha working hard to win it near the end line.
09:03 Iago Pikachu on the spin forces another save from Mustapha.
09:08 Torrico is lurking at the back post.
09:11 Marinho steps over and then slides dangerously into the challenge.
09:18 It's a red card, a straight red to Marinho
09:23 who's pointing at the ground to indicate that he slipped into the challenge.
09:30 That hasn't stopped the referee, Augusto Aragon, from pulling the red card from his pocket
09:38 to the home side to end an otherwise perfect performance.
09:43 There was a slip from Marinho, he wasn't lying.
09:50 Right there, sliding into the tackle.
09:52 Will it be enough for VAR to overturn the red card?
09:57 If not, he will be suspended for that all-important clash against Boca Juniors.
10:02 Left the pitch just yet.
10:12 A little bit of complaining to the Nacional Poto C players what transpired in his mind.
10:28 And VAR has called Augusto Aragon to the monitor.
10:31 Will the center official overrule his on-field decision of a red card?
10:36 When the officials are called to the monitor in the modern era, it does mean that the overturn of the initial decision is light.
10:49 Now we'll get the decision.
10:54 He's confirmed his initial decision and sold.
11:01 That's...
11:06 As a team with this performance ahead of their debut in the Brasilia Dau here this year.
11:13 Five-star performance from the home side for Thalesa.
11:18 Nacional Poto C barely laying a glove in the fight here tonight.
