00:00Puerto Cabello rising steadily among the top four in the last couple seasons.
00:06Again it is all or nothing tonight winner take all winner advances in this single leg
00:11group stage of the Sudamericana this season but there's only room for one of them
00:15and there's the opening whistle and we are in motion in Valencia Venezuela.
00:20This knockout game in the first stage of the Copa Sudamericana the winner on
00:24to the group phase the loser goes out of the competition.
00:2790 minutes
00:33they're in the attack on this right side there was lots of space
00:36and now clipped into the six yard area and headed wide best chance so far Francisco Funes.
00:44Well they just backed off all kinds of time and space to pick out a cross and
00:49but then Neftali Manzambi was tackled off it a bit of a transition moment here.
00:54Ayine now feeds Martinez. Martinez with the stepovers toward the end line tries to stand
01:00it up back post and does. Oh back across the face of gold dealt with by Puerto Cabello no foul there
01:07and just wide skidding just past that near post Araujo the captain that close.
01:15They wondered if there was going to be a foul there there wasn't and Araujo almost scored
01:20a second afterward. That's really good and calm play by Moussa Issa as well to start his team now
01:27down this left side and they haven't tried this side very often in the first half now they do
01:32galloping and putting in a cross and the backheel flick it falls for a huge chance
01:36and it's brought it wide what an opportunity for La Academia and they should have scored.
01:44After they barely tried this left side it almost resulted in the opening goal the early flick
01:49it fell to Tavares who totally scuffed his shot
01:53he had a teammate on the back post who basically did the same.
02:02Now free kick higher up the pitch for Puerto Cabello
02:06and it'll be the first card of the night as well shown to Gonzalo Jacque.
02:09Now stepping across his man to prevent the break is there is the halftime whistle from Carlos Benitez
02:22Benitez it's as you were after 45 minutes in this Conmebol Copa Sudamericana first phase
02:29knockout game here tonight no goals between Puerto Cabello and Metropolitanos the winner
02:35moves on to the group stage and they will attack from left to right in this second half but it's
02:41Academia Puerto Cabello who get us back underway and the orange and blue they
02:45kick from right to left in half number two to determine that place in the group stage.
02:57Angelo Lucena will take it with his right foot and he swings it in it's a good ball
03:03it falls to the back post opportunity and it's saved at the near post
03:07but there was a hand ball apparently it came up off the arm
03:18now Academia Puerto Cabello looking to slice one right down the middle and it is an opportunity
03:24and it's the opening goal no the flag is up it does not count for now it will be checked of course
03:29but after it was in the back of the net the assistant referee's flag immediately went up
03:41now Academia Puerto Cabello looking to slice one right down the middle and it is an opportunity
03:46and it's the opening goal no the flag is up it does not count for now it will be checked of course
03:52after it was in the back of the net the assistant is Luis Onieva
04:00this entire officiating crew from Paraguay here's the decision after VAR it is a goal
04:08the assistant is Luis Onieva
04:12this entire officiating crew from Paraguay here's the decision after VAR it is a goal
04:21giving Puerto Cabello that precious advantage
04:28will that be enough for them still a long way to go and it's turned over to
04:31Metropolitanos who try to strike right back and they strike it wide
04:37Metropolitanos more the ball now but you would expect that trailing by a goal with just over 25
04:42minutes to play chance to strike with the right foot it's on target they're first on target of
04:47the night but scooped up by Romero do they have a free kick here they do not
04:54still scuffling for the ball and now the whistle goes and it's a free kick the other direction
05:00to the annoyance of the home crowd and a yellow card as well
05:04it is Junior Cedeno just on the pitch a moment ago who
05:09is immediately into the book for that yeah it was that right there at the very end
05:13so the first corner of the night for the home side thumped in with the right foot
05:21flipped back side and cleared off the line that was a chance for just a moment for Puerto Cabello
05:28drawn centrally onto the right foot no space to shoot yet recycled to the right side
05:35and then lifted into the box the header is wide
05:37and it's good patient play from Puerto Cabello
05:47cross in by Cassiani see this out and go through you have to say they deserve it and here they
05:53come with Padrón who's loose Padrón in the area Padrón blocked out it'll be a corner
05:59that'll still suit Puerto Cabello as the seconds continue to tick away but
06:04was completely alone down this left side watch him just ghost into space nobody goes with him in purple
06:12he made the angle a bit difficult for himself and it's a great last-ditch
06:15tackle by Leonardo Perez one of the center backs making up the space at the
06:22crowd turning up the volume here in Valencia their side smelling the group stage out swinging
06:28corner good ball and it should have been the second goal headed wide seven more minutes for
06:34Metropolitanos to try to find a late equalizer and send this to penalties but right now Puerto
06:39Cabello looking for the second Padrón it is the second it is surely a victory now for academia
06:48Puerto Cabello well it's a wonderful ball down the right side goalkeeper started to come out
06:54realized he wasn't going to get there it's a perfect ball across the face perfect finish from Padrón
07:04measured and composed and finished off and the celebration is on for Puerto Cabello their fans
07:17and lots of afters as well and
07:19two now three players down for Puerto Cabello
07:23tempers boiling over for Metropolitanos who are
07:27surely beaten and surely headed out of the competition now
07:35and lots for these officials to sort out and probably the VAR room will need to get involved
07:40also to help
07:49and he was certainly heard from there
07:59red card is out and it's shown to Andrés Ferro and then we had the scuffle the long sorting out
08:07and the review afterwards so still a handful of minutes to play this is another heavy collision and
08:13another card out yellow shown to Alexis Rodríguez about 20 minutes ago when you have a one goal lead
08:23and you have a winger who's so fast like he is it is such a weapon now they hunt for the third
08:28and they're in on goal jinking past the goalkeeper and finished into the roof of the net it's a third
08:35for Academia Puerto Cabello and the party continues off the bench Junior Paredes
08:44he was all alone suddenly and how calm was this juking past the goalkeeper
08:48one to beat on the goal line and he skimmed it off the defender's head
08:53it's a tough angle as well by the time he takes the shot first a little juke to his
08:58left around the keeper still a lot to do from that angle outside of the right boot
09:04it's a really good finish for but there is the full-time whistle and a fantastic night
09:10another milestone night for La Academia, Academia Puerto Cabello qualify for the
09:16Copa Sudamericana group stage for just the second time in their history and a result
