00:00It's Vasco da Gama against Olympia.
00:04The Commonwealth Sudamericana quarterfinal place on the line next week after the second leg.
00:10A chance to seize an advantage here this evening in Brazil.
00:17And up against Botafogo, three Brazilian sides in action tonight.
00:24And we are underway here in Rio de Janeiro.
00:27Vasco da Gama against Olympia.
00:30Commonwealth Sudamericana last 16.
00:34Thank you for joining us.
00:36Saldivia again.
00:39Overcomplicates things.
00:40Gets himself into trouble in Olympia.
00:42Looking to take advantage.
00:45Crowded out down the left-hand side.
00:54Cross in.
00:55Headed away by Gamara.
01:01He's got a Gama to continue to come forward in the captain, Thiago Mendes.
01:06Lifts a great ball down the right into the space for Rodriguez.
01:10Adson with the one-two.
01:12Rodriguez is there again.
01:13And the cross blocked behind for a corner.
01:16Excellent build.
01:17And again being asked to defend as Adson comes forward.
01:20Again uses Rodriguez.
01:22I'll get the better of Matus.
01:24One of the recent arrivals for Olympia.
01:29Giving the ball away, however.
01:30A low cross into the box.
01:31Chance here.
01:32And turned behind for a corner by Cáceres.
01:38A low cross sent in.
01:40Not defended particularly well.
01:44It was a poor finish from Davin.
01:47Guilherme is also there.
01:48But they've sent everyone forward.
01:52It will be Guilherme with the left-footed delivery.
01:54Quickly taken.
01:54Chance.
01:55That's a super save.
01:56What a save from Gaston Oliveira.
02:01Pumar.
02:02Well, it has been the Brazilians who have come closest to the breakthrough.
02:05This particularly drawing.
02:08It was an outstanding save from Gaston Oliveira.
02:11This will be a very good angle to see it.
02:13Brilliant stop from the keeper.
02:28But Renan, the whole team now creeping forward further and further into the limpa half.
02:33Guilherme moves it on first time.
02:35Then continues his run forward.
02:37He'll get there.
02:38Pulls it back to the edge of the box.
02:40Davin.
02:41E2 trying to work some space.
02:44Trying to create a shooting chance.
02:45Tiago Mendes with the quick feet.
02:47Into Davin.
02:47E2 gets the shot away.
02:49Spilled by the keeper.
02:51And Oliveira back up onto his feet.
02:55Lovely footwork from Tiago Mendes and Davin.
02:58To open up the space and just didn't quite catch the shot.
03:03On that left foot you can see it just bobbling.
03:07Immediately after he's back to Nuno Moreira.
03:11Somehow gets it back to Tiago Mendes.
03:13Not sure he knew exactly what he was doing there.
03:16Mendes tries to win himself another corner.
03:18Olympia can't get the ball away.
03:20Moreira has space to cross.
03:21He goes for goal.
03:23And forces a very good stop.
03:25It's on Oliveira.
03:27May have been expecting the cross.
03:29And he's suddenly backpedalling and tipping one over the top of his bar.
03:32Would have been disappointed to be beaten by that for sure.
03:35But had to be aware.
03:36For Guilherme not.
03:37That's a very, very poor challenge.
03:40Even if there wasn't a great deal of contact.
03:44The only reason there wasn't contact.
03:46The player saw it coming from a million miles away and jumped out the way.
03:49But there's now an issue.
03:52And an alleged elbow.
03:55Olympia not happy at all.
03:59And that sparks some somewhat ugly scenes here.
04:02Cardoso involved.
04:04Pushing and shoving Nuno Moreira.
04:07Trying to be separated.
04:09There's a lot to unpack here for the referee.
04:13A corner from the near side.
04:14Moreira will take it.
04:20Swung in.
04:22Free header from inside the six-yard box with the shot that comes in on the follow-up.
04:30At the time and the space, take the touch and steady himself.
04:34Needed the power.
05:05Keeper comes a long way.
05:06And Neil Chardim outside his area.
05:09In the way.
05:10And Tiago Mendes can streak forward.
05:13As five minutes goes up on the electronic board.
05:16Mendes does very well.
05:17Flicks it with the outside of his boot to Adson.
05:19Lovely move.
05:20And another save.
05:23Olivera again down to his right.
05:26Preventing the opener.
05:36Another really good move, however, put together by Vasco da Gama.
05:40Breaking away at pace.
05:42Moving the ball back in what will be surely the final minute or so of this first half.
05:48There's space again down this near side for Moreira.
05:51But hurries in to cross on to his left foot.
05:55Watched out by Cardoso.
06:03Antonio Herrera has now a blow for half-time.
06:07A ripple of applause around the stadium.
06:10Appreciative of the efforts will be on the mind.
06:13Knowing the importance of victory at home.
06:16And with that, we are back underway.
06:19Vasco da Gama nil.
06:20Olympia nil.
06:21It's the first leg of the round of 16 in the Commonwealth Sudamericana.
06:28The winner.
06:36Back as Vasco da Gama look to start on the front foot once again.
06:40Again, we saw touches of those around the box.
06:43They've increased the tempo.
06:44That first-time shot comes in.
06:46And the left foot from Pumarodriguez feeds it into Adson and continues his run forward.
06:51Plenty of movement.
06:54Here is Rodriguez.
06:57Across to the back post.
06:58There's no one there as it floats over the head of David from the first half whatsoever.
07:03Guilano delivers.
07:05Bounces through to Adson on the edge of the area.
07:08And he just tries to float it, bend it towards that far corner.
07:13Yeah.
07:15You see the idea.
07:18Looking to shape it around Matos as he came out to close him down.
07:22Cardoso.
07:23Waits for the run of Cáceres down the right now.
07:25Looks for him.
07:26Cáceres with the cross in.
07:27And header on goal.
07:29Headed just wide.
07:30A first effort on goal, though.
07:37Free kick from Guilano.
07:39It's a good delivery.
07:40And headed over the top.
07:42It looked a decent chance.
07:46Guilano.
07:53Guilano crosses from the left.
07:54Spinelli now in there.
07:56Does provide a bit more of a natural target.
07:58Instead, go backwards before they can go forwards here.
08:01Vasco da Gama.
08:06Cross now sent in.
08:07Spinelli goes to chase and challenge.
08:10And Guilano gets there first.
08:17As Rodriguez brings it down inside the box.
08:20Tries to cut inside.
08:21Goes for goal.
08:21And the left foot.
08:23Locked.
08:23And maybe he had other options.
08:26It's a relief.
08:27All around the stadium, if they can do that.
08:30Cross in from the left.
08:31Spinelli's the target.
08:32But Bentivadi gets there first.
08:33They're headed away.
08:34Balls on the edge of the area.
08:38And now turned away by Delmas.
08:41Who just hammers it up towards halfway.
08:42Brought under control by Bados.
08:45And he's hurried into a clearance backwards.
08:49And for the second time.
08:53Robert Rennan, full pit on.
08:57Instead looks for David inside the area.
08:59Finds its way to him.
09:00The second time of asking.
09:01David's absolutely surrounded.
09:04When it is put behind for a corner.
09:06Which is still playing their part.
09:12Now swing it towards the penalty spot.
09:15Falls for Innistraza.
09:16Chests it down.
09:17And it's a wild effort in the end.
09:23Here's Robert Rennan.
09:25Trying to push his side forward.
09:27Looking for a through ball.
09:29It's on and made that run behind the full back.
09:40Back.
09:41Big ton behind.
09:42Some divvy is forced to get back.
09:47Again, it's those banks.
09:49Four and five.
09:49Just in position for Olympia.
09:52Closing out every possible direct pass.
09:55Innistraza goes around his man.
09:56Pulls it back into the box.
09:57The shot comes in from Rodriguez.
09:59Deflected behind for a corner.
10:01Rodriguez appreciates.
10:02Estrosa, the Colombian.
10:04Gets away from Alfonso.
10:07It's the presence of mind to pull the ball back into that space rather than cross it into the congested
10:13six-yard area.
10:18Lofted delivery at the back post.
10:20Headed down and headed into the hands of Oliveira.
10:24Now it is time for Vasco da Gama to employ the long throw as well.
10:29Rodriguez launches it in as players come forward to try and compete for that ball into the box.
10:35Rodriguez turns it now for Innistraza.
10:39Crowded out on this near side to be sent into the box instead.
10:42They have sent defenders forward.
10:43It is delivered there.
10:45Spinelli is there for Vasco da Gama instead to get it away.
10:48Those defenders will stay forward.
10:52Hesitating to do so as it's worked down the right.
10:55The cross that comes in hung up at the back post.
10:57Headed down inside the area.
11:02Cross coming in from deep.
11:04Spinelli challenges it.
11:05It's hacked clear by Carlos on the edge of the box.
11:09Straight to Robert Renat.
11:11Hoisted back into the area.
11:13Rodriguez peels to the back post.
11:15Hammers it low.
11:17Headed blocked at the near post.
11:19Away as far as Saldivia.
11:21Just lobs it back in.
11:23An awkward-headed clearance.
11:25Takes something.
11:27To Asuncion a week's time.
11:29The cross from the left comes in.
11:30Spinelli's there and on the volley.
11:33Blazes over the top of the crossbar.
11:35Drops over the head of Benteveri.
11:39And Spinelli.
11:42Gets his finish all wrong.
11:44Not an easy one by all means on the run.
11:47Having escaped the clutches of his marker.
11:50At this stage it really has to just be sent into the box and hope for the best.
11:55Lucas Ocurela.
11:57It's going to go for goal instead from a long way out.
11:59Bounces awkwardly on a wet pitch.
12:02Gaston Oliveira gets his body behind the ball.
12:04Makes sure he makes that block.
12:08Tadio Herrera counting down the throw.
12:11But I don't think there will be long left.
12:13And there it is.
12:14The full-time whistle blows.
12:16Booze around the stadium.
12:19The support of the fans.
12:21Going only so far.
12:23The full-time whistle.
12:25Releasing 90 minutes of frustration.
12:28As fast.
12:29The full-time whistle.
12:31The full-time whistle.
