00:00the countdown ends and we are go flamengo versus cruzeiro a sellout crowd at the maracanã in rio
00:10de janeiro brazil to see this return leg in the round of 16 between the two big spenders in
00:16brazilian football flamengo and cruzeiro i'm joel richards your match commentator this evening on
00:23this world feed of the standout clash in this week's south american club football in the libertadores
00:32it's finally poised 1-1 last week in bello horizonte kenny arrosho
00:39niggling injury that he picked up in fact last week against cruzeiro an ankle injury but otherwise it's a
00:47familiar line-up with the back four with the two leo pereira leo ortiz in defense
00:52midfield two
00:55and then the the flyers up front and lucas scuffs his shot but it's the
01:13first of all slow to control and protect the ball then slightly complicating it as he tried to
01:22dribble his way it's the first dangerous set piece that airton lucas will deliver
01:31jesus jonathan jesus with the clearance the attack's still on platter
01:39and it's just wide as leo ortiz in fact with the free header should have hit the target
01:53but it is the first warning sign from flamingo
01:59inch perfect delivery by jorginho poor marking by cruzeiro and leo ortiz knows that he should have
02:09buried it eric pulgar the chilean
02:14and it's a pattern no rush whatsoever to chase that down as it's a corner kick
02:55to the home side
02:56and they're able to exert at the moment no doubt waiting for their moment cruzeiro to come back
03:02into the game at the moment though they need to contain
03:04another wave of attack from flamingo emerson royal
03:10and he's out there and i'm not sure if they're out there to escape it
03:14and they're out there and they're out there and i'm not sure if they're out there
03:38Samolino! First save for Ottavio.
03:45A comfortable one for him.
03:49Struck right through the middle, but that's poor from Jonathan Jesus.
03:52There's an opening for Pedro, another great save from Ottavio.
03:56Brilliant work from the 20-year-old to save Cruzeiro.
04:06Asked himself just a little bit too much there, Pedro.
04:09It's a lovely touch from an exquisite talent.
04:19On that occasion, unable to get the better of the man in front of him.
04:25You do wonder how many mistakes like that Jonathan Jesus, for example,
04:32can afford Cruzeiro in terms of the poor distribution.
04:36Jonathan Jesus, for example, because you've seen Mattel Pereira lose possession
04:41that led to that free kick.
04:45And it's unstoppable at the moment, wave after wave of attack.
04:48It's Samolino!
04:55We're good.
04:57Matt's goes straight to penalties, by the way.
05:00If it is a draw at the end of the 90 minutes, but...
05:03I don't know what we're seeing at the moment, we expect goals.
05:10Pedro.
05:13Does really well to find Emerson Roy up.
05:15That's a great cross!
05:17And Derascaeta is convinced he was being held back.
05:27Certainly, William interferes with him to do, and in the end,
05:30it is an attacking throw-in for the home side.
05:34Pulgar.
05:37Derascaeta.
05:43It all stems from Ottavio's excellent clearance after that cross from Derascaeta.
05:57Samolino always trying to eke out space to shoot from.
06:05Samolino continues his run.
06:07Closely watched by Gerson, though.
06:16Jorginho on Matheus Pereira.
06:20The Cruzeiro, number 10.
06:24Yet to truly come into this match as we come to 20.
06:39Great one-touch football until Pedro releases Samolino.
06:51He's getting warmed up, the Flamengo number nine.
06:55He's getting warmed up, the Flamengo number nine.
06:57Thought about it here.
07:02Cleverly tricked Romero.
07:07What a fabulous striker in hand on the leaders, Palmeiras.
07:17Flamengo are on the back of 2.5 at the weekend versus Midasol.
07:22They were able to rotate the squad as you would expect,
07:24given the strength and depth they have.
07:27But Pedro did score twice at the weekend.
07:29He's the joint-top scorer in Emerson Royal.
07:47Leortiz.
07:50Marauding run by the centre-back.
07:54Samolino now.
08:00Side-netting by Pedro.
08:07It is a dizzying attack.
08:11And a side that, as we said, has players in every single position
08:15that can cause problems for you.
08:16There was Leo Ortiz, the centre-back with that run.
08:40There was Pareda, drives it in.
08:43It's cleared by it.
08:44Lucas, who conceded the free-kick in the first place.
08:47He makes amends.
08:50And Pedro looks to release Arascaeta, who won't win this battle, win the turnover.
09:05Arascaeta.
09:07Pedro.
09:08Arascaeta.
09:09That is a wonderful goal by Flamingo.
09:14That is top-class by the Brazilians and by the Uruguayan.
09:21The captain, Jorge Anderascaeta, gives Flamingo the lead.
09:28It is nothing less than they deserve.
09:30And it is a goal of top quality.
09:37They've given him space in this match already.
09:39It's a simple touch from Pedro, the one-two.
09:44And the kind of position in the area where a player like this simply doesn't miss from.
09:55Flamingo.
10:02Their patience, the pressure has paid off for Flamingo.
10:09The lead on aggregate, 2-1 against Cruzeiro.
10:21Flamingo.
10:22Flamingo.
10:23Flamingo, Flamingo!
10:25Flamingo!
10:26Flamingo!
10:27Flamingo!
10:29Flamingo!
10:30Flamingo!
10:31Flamingo!
10:31Flamingo!
10:33Flamingo!
10:36Flamingo!
10:37The monologue continues.
10:40The Ortiz here.
10:46This is the issue.
10:47The second they even get a chance of getting a championship,
10:50touch on the ball more often than not we're seeing Cruzeiro give possession to Flamengo that was
10:56Lucas it is the sheer element of surprise that Flamengo have there's the options available too
11:04you've got there and Lucas getting forward we've seen he's there's so much qualities
11:11it's Kenny Rocha now as Cruzeiro look to create something but his pass fails to find Wesley
11:24yes there's Pereira there's space now for Romero and Pereira to
11:29turn look up see if they can produce something Wesley
11:34or Rocha Wesley
11:50William to deliver 40 minutes gone at the Maracanã 1-0 to Flamengo Wesley loses out to Samolino
12:02and does really well to Relia the Cruzeiro right back with the corner
12:14for Homero and Pereira right just another three
12:24and Rocha with the ball in
12:29here's Wesley
12:32that's scuffed his shot there
12:50that bings
12:51a formidable
12:53Flamingo side
12:55so it is 1-0
12:57on the night
12:581-2-1
12:59on aggregate
13:00between Flamingo
13:01and Cruzeros
13:02we're underway
13:03at the Maracanã
13:07in this second leg
13:09of the round of 16
13:10a place in the quarterfinals
13:12at stake
13:14up until Corinthians
13:18Fluminense
13:20the other side
13:21also through
13:22that's a deflection
13:23and it's almost gone in
13:26Cruzeiro appeal
13:29Cruzeiro appeal
13:30that it was over the line
13:34Tejeda saying
13:35it will be checked
13:36this is what we're talking about
13:38a deflection
13:40a bit of luck
13:41there's Leo Pereira
13:46it looks like
13:47Jorginho clears
13:49will be reviewed
13:55how about that
13:56for
13:58Matheus Pereira
14:00Tejeda
14:01once again
14:03he's booed
14:05finds Romero
14:06how about that
14:09from the captain
14:13a wonder strike
14:14from Lucas Romero
14:17who just moments ago
14:19had given the ball away
14:20cheaply
14:22but that is
14:24a stunning strike
14:25that levels the tie
14:30he's afforded space
14:31on the edge of the area
14:32didn't think twice
14:34nothing that Rossi
14:36could do about it
14:37game on
14:53hit with real power
14:55and venom
14:58and this is
14:59what we were talking about
15:00the risk
15:01that Flamengo
15:02were running
15:03by only
15:05having managed
15:06to take that
15:06six milliseconds

15:54The早
15:55Half-time team talk appears to have done its job for Cruzeiro, certainly the first ten minutes,
16:00but now it's Flamengo with some space to attack.
16:03Sam Molino.
16:07Paul from Gerson gifts the possession back to Flamengo,
16:12and it's a snapshot from Berascaeta, who just didn't get the direction at all.
16:20Romero, it's a great ball for Kyle Georges.
16:22There's an opportunity here for Kyle Georges!
16:25He just pulled it ever so slightly.
16:30But it's day and night.
16:34The performance we're seeing from Cruzeiro compared to the first half.
16:40So, too, it has to be said for Flamengo.
16:44Pull that.
16:48See how the possession statistics have shifted.
16:54As Plata...
16:59Apologises to Sam Molino.
17:02He had only had one thing on his mind.
17:06Arguably the pass to...
17:10..his fellow winger was the option.
17:12Dangerous game they're playing, Cruzeiro.
17:16He's just about to get away with it.
17:21But still managed, still...
17:24...are forced to lose possession.
17:26Sam Molino.
17:28Jorginho.
17:43Jorginho.
17:46The drop of the shoulder.
17:52The finish.
17:53He gave...
17:55...Ortavio no chance at all.
18:00And now back in front, Flamengo.
18:07The penalty area itself, providing the line that shows he's onside.
18:15And it is his first goal in the...
18:18...and he's had a scowl on the ball now.
18:20Done really well since joining the club.
18:23So, River Plate back in the day.
18:27Lucas Paquetá...
18:28...didn't get the power on the shot.
18:33He talked about the big spending, the big signing, Gerson, for Cruzeiro.
18:38Lucas Paquetá very much.
18:42The similar case for Flamengo.
18:46Moving to the last 20 minutes, then, at the Maracaná in Rio.
18:51Flamengo 3-2 up on aggregate, it's 2-1 on the night.
18:55Jorge Caracal, the Colombian, with the corner.
19:05And Molina on the edge of the area.
19:15And Gerson thumps it forward.
19:20Cruzeiro really beyond that 15 minutes or so, just haven't managed to get back into this game.
19:26Paquetá now.
19:31It's Jorge Caracal, it's Jorge Caracal.
19:35It wouldn't have counted.
19:36It would have voted.
19:52Now George.
19:54Pereira!
19:56That was better from Cruzeiro.
20:01They found an in-road, they found a way through Flamengo's defence.
20:12Actually by Cruzeiro.
20:15Pereira.
20:20I don't think twice there, Joao Costa about turning and going for goal.
20:25Romero.
20:30Costa is Gabriel Rojas.
20:36Flamengo are sitting deep, there's no way through for Cruzeiro.
20:45Paquetá has Carrascal out wide, who he finds.
20:52There's a lot of work to be done, not many players, but Paquetá fancies his chances.
21:27There's a lot of work to feel.
21:28The talent out there on the field, including having made those substitutions.
21:38Rosetta just made problems for himself all night long.
21:42With that, playing the ball out from goal.
21:46A let-off there, poor shot by Everton at Augeot.
21:59Not that Ros is letting on.
22:02Mateus Pereira, the number ten of Cruzeiro, is in charge here.
22:11Fabricio Bruno puts it back in the mix.
22:15On the edge of the area, cleared by Emerson Royal.
22:21A lot of confidence there by Jacosta to go for a goal from that kind of range,
22:27that kind of...
22:29on the volley.
22:31Any major stoppages with injuries or...
22:36That was the VAR check for potential Cruzeiro goal when Jorginho cleared off the line.
22:44And they've given the ball away cheaply.
22:47Bruno Enrique.
22:51Saved by Ottavio.
22:54He looks to get his players driving forward.
23:01Mateus Pereira furious that no foul was given against Leo Pereira there.
23:17Snapshot there from Luciano Rodriguez.
23:24Straight into the hands, though, of Agustin Rossi.
23:32This is Arthur Georges' record of three matches against Flamengo unbeaten coming to an end here.
23:39Bruzzero looking to find a way through.
23:42A space on the far post.
23:47Mateus Pereira...
23:51From the edge of the area, blasts over.
23:53From the edge of the area, blasts over.
23:59He was closed down there by Eric Poulgar.
24:03A difficult chance.
24:06We have played the six minutes of time added on.
24:12Flamengo are through to the quarter-finals of the Conmebol Libertadores.
24:20In the end, it was a hard-fought win.
24:22coming to anordinated group,
24:26Yes,ache.
24:30There's no way to help me.
24:31In the end, we will probably answer some more.
