00:00 [crowd noise]
00:09 And Rafaes, Universidad Católica in baby blue, will be attacking to your right.
00:15 Cruzeiro, a little bit of a darker royal blue.
00:19 Close to him, good steal.
00:21 And now it's Universidad Católica inside of Cruzeiro's area.
00:26 Defensive sharp-ish.
00:32 Goal kick for Anderson.
00:36 Kind of rough there at the back for a second, but Nieto large in time providing the pass to Ismael Diaz.
00:43 Marcelo receives it from Zé Valdo. Now Marlon on the ball.
00:47 You can see that Cruzeiro like to focus here on the left-hand side. That's their strength for sure.
00:52 William-Owes making runs down the right-hand side and they'll see Cruzeiro!
00:57 That attempt was not too far off.
01:01 First real good movement forward from Universidad Católica.
01:11 Mauro Diaz on the ball.
01:17 Mauro Diaz sends it to the area, headed out by the defenders, but the shot came in.
01:24 Nieto.
01:26 Two players are down. I wonder if they bumped their heads.
01:30 Number eight there for Cruzeiro is Hafa...
01:33 Oh no! Hafa Silva.
01:36 Let's see here.
01:39 Oh man, that, that was not good looking. That's Grillo.
01:45 The Argentine, Fausto Grillo, the Argentine number 37 defender is going to have to get that checked out.
01:58 Lucas Silva.
02:00 Marlon, number three, receives it.
02:03 Right here down the left-hand side is Barrial, but the shot was straight to the goal from Marlon.
02:08 He excuses himself.
02:13 There have been runners up in the first division of Ecuador in '73 and '79.
02:18 Here we go, Cruzeiro inside of the area.
02:21 That was not too far off. Barrial kind of upset that he couldn't get the pass off, get an assist,
02:29 but it was quickly taken by Marlon. Barrial was right there and he was trying to set it up for either Gabriel Veron or Hafa Silva,
02:37 who were the guys that were arriving, but...
02:41 Lucas Romero, Mateus Pereira, Barrial receives it.
02:46 Marlon sends it in the area. The ball just...
02:50 Marcelo Zeivaldo.
02:58 Lucas Silva straight down the middle, but here down the right is William.
03:02 William with the high ball straight to Romo.
03:05 Cruzeiro just working their possession. Fed through to Barrial.
03:12 Comes the cross. Headed out by Grigio.
03:15 Hafa Silva!
03:21 Was just a little off. That was one of the good shots Cruzeiro had in the game.
03:26 Nice little build-up. Lucas Romero.
03:31 Hafa Silva!
03:33 That's possession for Cruzeiro. It has to be pretty high up there. I'll take a look at it.
03:42 67.8% ball possession as Gabriel Veron is in the area.
03:48 And Mateus Pereira skied this one.
03:52 Gabriel Veron did all the hard work.
03:56 On the right side of the area after receiving the ball from William. And got past two players.
04:03 Everything is ready.
04:08 Remembering the team's need. Well, Cruzeiro needs the win more than anybody else.
04:15 Universidad Cantó-Malacar are leaders of their group, so they're fine.
04:19 But Cruzeiro really need the win if they want to make it straight through to the last 16 that will be played in August.
04:28 Most of the game, but you really do need to create opportunities.
04:31 And Cruzeiro didn't create the greatest of opportunities. There were some chances, though.
04:35 Not taking anything away from the Great Blues.
04:38 Inside of the area, Mateus Pereira! What a shot, but what a save from Romo.
04:46 Oh!
04:49 Let's see if it was anything that could have hurt Rafael Romo.
04:53 Oh, actually hit him in the face. I think that ball went straight through his hands and right to his face.
04:59 Yeah, I think he hit him in the face.
05:04 We'll get a good view here. Hopefully. Yeah, hit him right in the face.
05:10 Got the head hurt.
05:13 And the reason we always kind of, when keepers go down, you're like, "Oh, sinonito."
05:20 Lain Lur, good run here down the left-hand side.
05:24 Cross came off of William.
05:29 And the shot that goes right over the goal from Fajardo.
05:39 Fajardo saying it came off of the Cruzeiro man.
05:55 Casillo just trying to get away from the markers as he stole that ball.
05:59 Robert gets it here. Good cross.
06:03 And Romo just kind of smacks it. And then the official gives a foul on Romo.
06:13 And we'll be on Universidad Católica Ball.
06:27 Lucas Silva. Veron. The ball stays in.
06:33 William. Marquinhos.
06:36 Paesilla. Matos Pereira.
06:40 Good long ball into the area. Straight to Romo.
06:44 No difficulties for the number 22.
06:55 Casillo in the area. Many players in the area.
06:59 William as well. There's William right next to the keeper.
07:03 Foul was given.
07:07 And now Romo will take advantage, waste a little bit of time.
07:11 We know who's going to take it. It's going to be Matos Pereira.
07:13 Every single time, unless they change it up here.
07:16 But watch Lucas Silva will get a run up.
07:19 He takes it this time. They switch it up. And headed towards the goal for Cruzeiro!
07:28 Rafa Silva!
07:32 This could be the key moment for Cruzeiro.
07:35 Lucas Silva takes it.
07:38 The ball was headed. Initially it looked like by Zé Valdo.
07:44 Right there, it was Zé Valdo but the goal...
07:55 Matos Pereira.
08:00 Lucas Silva. Matos Pereira again.
08:02 Here comes another cross. Ball inside of this area.
08:05 Headed towards the goal. Saved by Romo. A double save!
08:08 Zé Valdo trying to send it in. And Vitor Hugo, Romo on fire!
08:17 Look at that header from Marcelo. Then a strong shot from Vitor Hugo.
08:21 And then...
08:24 Lucas Romero off.
08:32 Jamiro will be coming on. There he is, Jamiro.
08:40 The coaches are getting it on, huh?
08:44 That's rare, getting so close like that.
08:53 Yellow card apiece. Everybody losing their heads here.
09:00 All Universidad Católica need are one goal and they'll be leaders once again.
09:07 Working hard down that right-hand side.
09:14 And that is it. No time added at all.
09:18 Only those five minutes. Cruzeiro have made it straight through.
09:22 They are in the last 16 of the Copa Sudamericana.
