00:00To Fogo, that's in Buenos Aires next week, here come Rassing, he's missed it, chance here, Martinez can't turn properly,
00:07there's a loose ball across the area, and Rassing take the NLE with a Uruguayan,
00:13drills it in low, Martirena wasn't picked up, sloppy marking from the Brazilians,
00:20and Rassing ahead very, very early on.
00:25Martirena was on target in the semi-finals against Corinthians and he's on the mark here again,
00:30this one a lot less spectacular than it was in the semi-finals, but what a start to the game,
00:36and a gift for Rassing, and Andorgin is looking on, and he will be furious at his side's defending.
00:43First movement forward, and this man has had a very impressive season,
00:49as we said, he's popped up with some very important goals,
00:53Martirena is on side, this is the only moment when that ball was played forward,
01:00Martinez couldn't really collect it, came off a defender, and Martirena,
01:06cool, calm and collected to slot it home, unmarked, made it look easy,
01:14but it certainly wasn't, Rassing in front.
01:18Martirena is in acres of space, close to halfway, when the move's building up,
01:23and he just goes forward into the penalty area, and when the ball eventually finds its way into Adrian Martinez,
01:29everyone in dark blue just gets sucked towards the ball, Marlon particularly,
01:34who should be there covering the run of Martirena, goes in towards the ball and as it pops to the back post,
01:39Martirena, I'm sure, cannot believe his luck to be in that much time and space,
01:44to be able to pick a spot and beat Cassiot, the dream start for Rassing.
01:48João Marcelo scuffing his clearance, straight at Martirena, officially two minutes on the clock,
01:58the only thing they're going to look at is when that ball was pumped forward down the left-hand channel.
02:09Can be the only question mark, down the left-hand side, and if it is offside it will be extremely tight.
02:28One of the big issues about VAR, the teams don't know, the supporters don't know, we don't know,
02:38well, his reaction would appear to indicate there's no goal, but...
02:48Obviously, we don't at this stage, if that's the case, because Daniel Costas is absolutely fuming,
02:53he looks as though he has got the news.
02:57Maybe for an offside, that's what it appeared to be, but he would seem to know there's no goal.
03:08Nothing official as such.
03:17Well, 2-0 fans, we know it, once you see that little square, but what was it?
03:26Ginez has not changed his composure, Costas is absolutely furious.
03:38That's a massive let-off for Cruzeiro, an offside being given against,
03:44I think Maxi Salas had made that run down the left channel before pulling it back to Adrian Martinez,
03:49but it was very, very tight, and it doesn't excuse how wide open the Brazilians were, and what followed.
03:58It's absolutely livid, we need to see the replay, it must be a matter of a tote.
04:06We may have overjoyed the Cruzeiro fans, because as you said, it's a let-off.
04:11There's no point in the Brazilian players arguing the toss, because clearly, we say clearly,
04:20the lines were drawn.
04:24I'm not sure how many times Gustavo Costas himself would have seen the replay anyways.
04:28I don't think he's seen it.
04:29The whole time, just waiting for the official.
04:31We haven't seen it.
04:36Dream start.
04:39That's a real let-off, as you said, particularly for the likes of João Marcelo.
