00:00And we are up and underway in Asuncion Paraguay.
00:08It is Libertad against Cruzeiro of Brazil.
00:14Tess Henrique, beautifully done, lovely feet.
00:20Now an opportunity for Marlon to...
00:30What a kick then. Bloated into a good area.
00:32One or two shots for Harbaugh.
00:35And Cruzeiro have a claim for a penalty.
00:38Referee says no instantaneously.
00:42Let's have a look at this.
00:44What a kick floated in and the header down.
00:46Well, it might have just been the shout for a corner to be awarded.
00:50Came back up off the air.
00:57Here is Silva. Right, another challenge. Still Silva.
01:00Alejandro Silva for Libertad.
01:03Silva's ball across.
01:05Still not properly dealt with but that's catchy practice for Casio.
01:09Here comes Cruzeiro once more. Three to hit inside the area.
01:12That's Pereira with the initial target.
01:23It's now an opportunity inside the area.
01:25And that is a splendid goal from Casio Jorge.
01:32Offside flag is up.
01:33Ball clipped forwards.
01:35And Casio Jorge just lets the ball sit onto his laces.
01:41Look at this little look here though.
01:42Look at that little look.
01:43Knows where the goalkeeper is.
01:45Doesn't need to look again.
01:47Then it's all about technique.
01:49It's all about quality.
01:51Skims the fingertips of the goalkeeper.
01:54But nothing more.
01:56It's a Casio Jorge goal.
01:58And Cruzeiro has a chance.
02:01Casio Jorge goal.
02:02And Cruzeiro lead in Paraguay.
02:10To give Cruzeiro the lead.
02:14It's clearly onside here.
02:16Casio Jorge's vision and awareness.
02:19How many players there would have taken a touch?
02:23How many players would have taken a touch?
02:25The goal stands.
02:26The goal stands.
02:28Through this Cruzeiro side.
02:30Hasn't been there, has it?
02:32And now at the other end.
02:34An opportunity for Cruzeiro.
02:36Effort on goal is struck by William.
02:45Clearly onside.
02:46The weight of the pass is good.
02:48And William just pulls the trigger.
02:53Keeper more than equal to it though.
02:58And Cruzeiro defending really solidly in the game so far.
03:03Bring the ball away now.
03:04Certainly should have done.
03:05A little bit of over exuberance at the back.
03:07And that's going to be a free kick in a pretty promising position.
03:10If truth be told.
03:12Gabriel Varon.
03:29Opportunity now.
03:32Ball.
03:33Ball to be swung in from Nescano.
03:37Might work out.
03:38And here's Latardias.
03:39And Latardias couldn't quite.
03:47Chance now for Cruzeiro and Casio Jorge.
03:49Let it run.
03:50Chance for number two.
03:51Great save!
03:52And cleared off the line.
03:55A little outfinding at the back.
03:57Gabriel Varon.
04:01Just trying to find a way through.
04:05The intended ball initially was for Casio Jorge.
04:09Gabriel Varon.
04:10Lovely first touch.
04:11Clever seconds.
04:18The way now towards Mateus Pereira initially.
04:21Here's Latardias.
04:22Clean through.
04:23Latardias!
04:242-0.
04:26Knife through butter.
04:29And Latardias with a precocious little finish.
04:34And Cruzeiro are cruising.
04:37In this CONMEBOL Sudamericana quarterfinal.
04:44Latardias.
04:46He's a really direct runner.
04:49And once he latches onto it here.
04:51You thought his other touch might have been a little bit too heavy.
04:56But he's got this in the locker.
04:58The cute finish.
05:00Dinks it over the advancing goalkeeper.
05:03And it's Libertad 0.
05:05Cruzeiro 2.
05:14Here's the score at half time.
05:16And very frustrating indeed for Libertad.
05:19Because Cruzeiro taking that second goal so well.
05:22Something unbelievable really.
05:26In this second half.
05:29And in the tie.
05:30Because Cruzeiro was so comfortable.
05:32So confident.
05:34In the first half.
05:36But what can the second half.
05:40Now towards Aguilar.
05:43Aguilar's got two players inside the area.
05:45In towards Roque Santacruz.
05:50Casso is there.
05:52Delivery they want for the veteran.
05:56Just got to try and find him.
05:58I think having gone in that position.
06:00He'll feel as though he should have done slightly better.
06:02Santacruz.
06:05Libertad will try and bring the ball away.
06:07And a chance now potentially for Roque Santacruz.
06:11Here is Roque Santacruz for Libertad.
06:15Roque Santacruz with the cross.
06:16There's the header.
06:19Should be 2-1.
06:21Oh it's a bad miss.
06:22It's a big miss.
06:25And Gustavo Aguilar just can't head it home.
06:35What a big moment.
06:37What a big chance.
06:39Roque Santacruz puts it on a plate.
06:42You've got to score.
06:51I just wonder.
06:53That big big chance for Gustavo Aguilar.
06:56Now Kai Jorge will try and round the goalkeeper.
06:59Kai Jorge can't quite get there.
07:01Jimenez slides in.
07:16Heavily done now by Kai Jorge.
07:18An opportunity for Cruzeiro to make it 3 and finish things off on the night.
07:22And in the tie.
07:25What a chance not taken.
07:35Can he do that? Jimenez just gives the ball away.
07:39And on the counter now.
07:40Cruzeiro might just punish Libertad and make it 3.
07:43This to wrap up the tie.
07:46To put it wide.
07:52Really well tonight.
07:59What a big opportunity.
08:02Finish things off for the substitute.
08:05The final few seconds now.
08:07The full time whistle goes.
08:09It's a big performance for the Brazilians in Paraguay.
08:13Cruzeiro beat Libertad by 2 goals to nil.
08:16Kai Jorge.
08:18Splendid finish on 19 minutes opening the scoring.
08:22CRUZEIRO 0-1 LIBERTAD
