00:30The chants, the flares, the fireworks, this is South American football, this is Copa Libertadores,
00:41this is the last leg of the quarterfinals.
00:45The winner will face Botafogo, who yesterday, in a dramatic penalty series, left Sao Paulo
00:56in the dust.
00:57And Peñarol, with one goal, in Brazil have the advantage, River Plate and Mineiro, one
01:03and two in the tournament.
01:06An immediate free kick, oh, oh in fact, whistle in the crowd, Peñarol then, yellow and black
01:19shirts, black shorts, Flamengo will be looking for set pieces.
01:25They don't want to sit too deeply and just invite that pressure.
01:28Baez in the starting line-up, Gerson to Dinkert across the area, oh that's plucked out of
01:34the air, Plater has a warning sign that Peñarol cannot afford to give too much space to Flamengo.
01:42It's neatly worked as well, Gerson making that little inside run, finding the cross,
01:48Mata getting up well at the back post, there's not too much pace on the cross, so Plater
01:53can only really redirect it, which he does.
01:55They don't have any possession whatsoever, which is, I think, inviting the pressure.
02:00See what they can do here, it's drilled in well, and Rossi has to turn it away, Leo Fernandes.
02:05It's a great little player, Leo Fernandes.
02:09It's a 1-6-6, so we've got Guzman-Moregas around 1-8-6 as well now.
02:15Gift here for Flamengo, can they punish them, that's a one-handed stop.
02:21Gerson, was there a flag though?
02:27Oh, Gerson's not offside.
02:30The flag presumably was against Bruno Henrique for the chest.
02:36Can he pick out a yellow and black shirt on this occasion?
02:39Well, the ball's in the air, referee reaches for his whistle.
02:44A couple of opportunities in there, but mostly a lacklustre.
02:49Half of football, I think I sympathize with our play-by-play partners saying,
02:53this is not the Peñarol that we saw last week in Brazil.
02:56We'll see what they can do in the second half.
02:58Meanwhile, we'll take a short break, gonna come back with the highlights from the first half of football.
03:06Half of football.
03:19Referee is Facundo Tejo of Argentina.
03:22Had a lot of stoppages in that first half.
03:25Peñarol, yellow and black.
03:30Flamengo, all white, already beats up those yellow and black shirts.
03:36When I win it, what am I gonna do? We're not gonna look to keep possession.
03:42Nodded in the end over, there may have been a flag.
03:45This must be one of the easiest games that Flamengo competed in for a while,
03:50where they've been given so much time and space.
03:54Let's not forget as well, OK, they've got the money, they've got the names,
03:57but they've only won once in the last eight, Flamengo.
04:00Haven't won away from home.
04:04You highlighted Plata's position, he was trying to make that run from the right wing into the middle.
04:10Andela Cruz, ball inside the area, it's scooped.
04:13Over the crossbar and away.
04:20Clearance.
04:22Dani Aston, balls to Sandro on his right foot.
04:26Run over halfway.
04:29Silvera was hardly making a run to say I'm ready for it.
04:32And this ripping header was left by Aguirre in the end.
04:37There's another free chance.
04:43Let's look at the space and time the Flamengo players have given on the ball.
04:48No one making the challenge.
04:53That's not far off target from Bruno Monique.
04:57It's a decent chance, it's not the easiest of headers,
05:00but Bruno Monique is not exactly under a great deal of pressure at the same time,
05:05taking as long as possible.
05:07Making it look as though they might play it short to the centre-backs
05:10before Aguirre waves them forward.
05:12It's become a standard move, hasn't it, in South America?
05:20Still the only card, it's going to be the second card of the night.
05:26Niggling battles involving Ortiz.
05:35Yeah, arrives too late.
05:36Again, you wonder about the contact from that angle.
05:40On there.
05:42Two yellow and black shirts are closing in.
05:46Starting to win those 50-50 balls now, aren't they?
05:49Then you're on, it goes down, it's a shot!
05:51And Rossi, did he get tangled in the turf there momentarily?
06:00Fucking pace.
06:03He needs to tell Fabrizio Bruno that his side are still 1-0 down at this time,
06:07heading out of the Libertadores.
06:09That's a dangerous ball, keepers all over the shop.
06:12Where's our ref?
06:13Well, they're saying it's offside.
06:17It's on the bench unused in this kind of situation.
06:19There's a problem there, if that's the case.
06:24Well, it's tapped in.
06:26And Aguirre maybe waiting for that ball to arrive.
06:29It nearly didn't.
06:34This is nightmarish defending from Peñarol.
06:37It's not even defending.
06:41They just need something soft like that.
06:45That's why Axa can't get to the ball.
06:48We're in the five minutes, or into the last minutes.
06:52Then you're on, loose ball.
06:54Gerson, well, we're into six minutes almost now.
06:57Gerson knocks it forward.
06:59Where's this extra minute coming from?
07:02Rossi's still in there.
07:04Half one.
07:07Chance to get it clear.
07:08Rossi turns.
07:10In the air.
07:11Referee reaches for his whistle.
07:13And Peñarol are through to the semifinals.
07:23Listen to the crowd, because Peñarol is back.
07:27On the semifinals.
07:31Hanging on by a thread in a game.
07:37Where the Brazilians at Flamingo had everything,
07:39they just couldn't put it.
07:41In the back of the net.
07:43Botafogo, Peñarol, Minero, here to play the semifinals
07:47of Libertadores 2024.
