00:00And it's not particularly pretty, but...
00:05They haven't conceded in the last five Libertadores ties.
00:09Now, danger here for Sampaolo.
00:11There it is, and they do concede!
00:14The keeper turning it into the pace of Almeida, the Argentine,
00:19and we've got the goal Botafogo wanted.
00:23And from a neutral perspective, that's absolutely bang-on.
00:27Sampaolo did it at the back.
00:29Rafael couldn't find that safe area.
00:33And the young Argentine has given Botafogo the lead,
00:36and it is now game on.
00:39And it's becoming, not just today, John,
00:41but over the course of the first leg.
00:42Botafogo, they're the side that have had all the chances.
00:44They're the side that have been trying to apply the high press.
00:46They win it back really high at the pitch here,
00:48and it's very neatly done.
00:50And just look at Tiago Almeida,
00:51because he's just alive to the possibility.
00:53He knows that he's only going to get one sniff at this,
00:55and when it comes back to him, he just nods it guardwards.
00:58I mean, I don't think there's too much that the goalkeeper
01:00really could have done there.
01:02Rafael, I mean, he's got to get a paw on it,
01:05because he knows his player's coming in behind him.
01:07But Tiago Almeida's there, and now, as you rightly say,
01:10we do have a game on our hands.
01:12Sampaolo, they can no longer sit back.
01:15They have to come out and attack,
01:16and maybe we'll see a little bit more freedom in this game.
01:20Here he is again. Solid.
01:25Tries to play his side out of a hole, and does so.
01:27Now the White Shirts are streaking forward.
01:29They'd like the goal here.
01:30Third time lucky, perhaps?
01:32Unselfish!
01:34Botafogo, Almeida, other score sheets.
01:39You can hear the travelling fans in the background.
01:44Powers his way through as he's done all night.
01:47Caesar's pace.
01:50Well, they're punished, Peñarol, but we've had a game.
01:54It's been a terrific spectacle in the Carnival Libertadores.
01:59Clinical from Botafogo, finally.
02:03Excellently worked counter-attack.
02:05Beautiful finish by Almeida.
02:10And what's interesting, though, is that
02:12it's not just the goalkeeper.
02:14It's the whole team.
