00:00Club has won back-to-back matches against Uruguayan opponents in the Libertadores.
00:05The last time that happened, it was 1999, over 25 years ago.
00:17Running in Montevideo, Uruguay, in the return leg of...
00:24in the first phase of qualification in the Commonwealth Libertadores.
00:28I'm Joel Richards, your commentator this evening.
00:34The aggregate score, very much in favour of the Venezuelans playing in the lime-yellow shirts.
00:44Oscar Pires, the centre-back is...
00:54And when you also look at the type of striker they are, there's not that mobility.
01:00That was the question last week and it remains the question of where the goals will come from for defence or sporting.
01:09We have the first yellow.
01:14Now all you guys have come out, there's a bit of confusion on the edge of the box.
01:26The attack is still on.
01:27That's an excellent defensive header from...
01:31He's put his head on this shot.
01:35It's just a disaster from Nicolas Henry.
01:42He's just completely missed the ball.
01:45Poor communication between Pires and Olivares.
01:49The defence to allow Soria Montoja to get forward.
01:58Here is Prieto.
01:59Nicely done by the number 21 and indeed the 21-year-old.
02:06Space here for Rodriguez.
02:09It's in the back of the net.
02:11And is that good night, Defensor?
02:14And has that put Monagas' place in the second phase of the Libertadores qualification?
02:21Leaving Tomas Rodriguez, the Panamanian striker, all alone.
02:27Caravaggio acts quickly.
02:36Rodriguez doesn't think about it twice.
02:39And he gets the power to put it underneath Kevin Dawson in goal for Defensor.
02:54Look at what it means to Ferreira.
02:57They know that surely that is it.
03:03Montoja.
03:05This is Prieto.
03:11Let's get to the byline.
03:12Decent ball across the face of goal.
03:13Real opportunity here for Defensor.
03:18Well, Soria...
03:21But it's arguably the best attack from Defensor.
03:25Prieto getting a bit of space.
03:26Bit of luck, bit of fortune there with the...
03:33Battling away Prieto.
03:36And it's frustration there from the youngster that will earn him a yellow card.
03:56And the first 45 minutes are gone and Monagas is winning.
04:01One nil against Defensor Sporting.
04:05Listen to the stadium.
04:08They are not happy.
04:09They are not happy, ladies and gentlemen.
04:12They are one step closer to be out of the competition.
04:16Let's go to a break, we're coming back.
04:20Rodriguez also comes on for Monagas.
04:28We've also got Diego Abreu, the son of El Loco Sebastian Abreu.
04:34The legendary Uruguayan striker.
04:39So some firepower for Defensor.
04:43However, they're already on the back foot.
04:45Rodriguez finds Navas with a bit of space.
04:48He hit it first time.
04:49Again, it's another wayward pass that stops any movement, any fluidity to attack.
04:56However, here's Aldez in a great position for Defensor.
04:59Aldez!
05:01Excellent save by Olivares.
05:03More industry.
05:06Also looking to mix up their attackers.
05:09Here comes Romero.
05:13Finds Navas who leaves it excellently for Gallardo.
05:18Romero.
05:20That is an absolutely beautiful goal that seals this tie in favour of Monagas.
05:26It's brilliant.
05:29Andres Romero.
05:32Set and match.
05:36Once again, Defensor Sporting leave one of the Monagas players in acres of space with the side of goal.
05:45In the first half, it was Tomas Rodriguez.
05:48Here it's Andres Romero.
05:54He provided the assist for the first.
05:56Scores the second.
06:00Barring an absolute miracle.
06:02That is the end of Defensor Sporting's participation.
06:06Just compounds the disappointment for the Violeta who is still looking to find a way through.
06:10And as we said, even at halftime, 3-0 down on aggregate.
06:15They're playing for pride.
06:34A better attack by Abril.
06:38Some certain lack of cohesion perhaps.
06:41However, it's been a match that's really lacked a lot of quality.
06:50Barring moments such as this as we're just seeing the replay of the goal by Romero.
06:55For now, it's a clean sheet for Monagas and for Raul Olivares.
07:01Well, we spoke too soon.
07:07That's a consolation goal for...
07:14And the number three was a good yard offside.
07:17Decent head up.
07:19All the same, but it won't count.
07:22Well, that penalty drew them back on level terms.
07:25But all to play for there in Lima on Wednesday night.
07:31As Gallardo's just clipped there by Villacava.
07:39Yellow card.
07:45It's lucky it wasn't the prestige of being involved in South America's number one club competition.
07:51Soria is winding up to take this.
07:54It's a brilliant save from Olivares.
07:57Here's this replay. Fabulously hit.
08:00I do feel a little bit more height on it.
08:04Would have put it out of Olivares' reach.
08:09Of normal time left.
08:12Monagas of Venezuela have booked their place in the next round.
08:20A bit of a yellow card for Romero.
08:22You can hear this reaction to know about Defensores' evening of normal time left.
08:33Monagas of Venezuela have booked their place in the next round.
08:41Monagas of Venezuela have booked their place in the next round.
08:51A bit of a yellow card for Romero.
08:53You can hear this reaction to know about Defensores' evening.
09:04That was on imagination, that spark.
09:07Wunsch is looking to make something happen.
09:17Category of Golazo.
09:32That is the end of things here in Montevideo.
09:38And the match is over, ladies and gentlemen.
09:4245 minutes in the first half decided practically everything.
09:47Because in the last 45, Defensores Sporting, they were not able to respond.
09:54They were not able to score in front of their own fans.
09:59And take a look at this.
10:01The supporters, they are angry. They are not happy.
10:05They have just been eliminated from the Conmebol Libertadores.
