00:00 [Music]
00:02 On to the lush grass here in Cuiabá, Brazil.
00:06 Into the Arena Pantanal.
00:09 [Music]
00:11 And of course it is that Comnabol anthem
00:14 that heralds the arrival of the official.
00:17 Masses of fans here because you can hear
00:20 shouts coming from the players themselves.
00:22 They'll be looking to start fast here,
00:24 well Cuiabá, game underway of course.
00:26 Cuiabá of course wearing those
00:28 predominantly yellow shirts,
00:30 green shorts and green socks.
00:32 Shooting from left to right,
00:34 Mateus Passinato in goal.
00:36 Mateus Alexandre right back.
00:39 Sweat pouring down the brows of Garcet.
00:45 Good ball in.
00:47 Back across goal, but it was offside.
00:51 Minimal noise around the ground here
00:56 at the Arena Pantanal as Peter strikes
00:59 some long range.
01:00 Another shot on target
01:02 from the big man playing up front.
01:04 You can see ball possession,
01:07 ball retention.
01:08 87% for Cuiabá,
01:11 but here come Metropolitanos
01:14 in the first corner of the game
01:17 with a swollen limb.
01:18 Waits for Gijalme.
01:21 Is it Gijalme? You think so.
01:25 Great strike.
01:26 Unfortunate for Gijalme.
01:28 Didn't think the goalkeeper got a touch on that.
01:35 Lobbed in.
01:40 Looking for Peter, takes a deflection.
01:43 That will go out for a corner.
01:46 Not a single goal scored
01:50 and ten conceded for Cuiabá.
01:54 Here goes Peter.
01:55 Rightfully crossing to the box.
01:57 Well dealt with once again.
01:59 Played forward to Barreiro,
02:03 but Marhon just catches him up.
02:05 But good strength from Barreiro.
02:09 Finds a team-mate.
02:13 Does that take a little bit of a brush?
02:17 Does that count as a first shot?
02:19 He thinks not.
02:20 It finds Danielsen again.
02:22 It's a good ball, it's a great build-up.
02:24 Peter, what can he do in front of goal?
02:26 Lays it back to Danielsen.
02:28 Danielsen.
02:29 Goal!
02:31 A terrific goal, it really was.
02:34 What a real majesty.
02:37 What a build-up.
02:38 Top, top quality.
02:41 Assist goes to Danielsen, you would think.
02:44 And the finish, one of pure majesty.
02:52 It's onside here from Peter.
02:55 And he does well, he holds the ball up,
02:58 lays it into Danielsen.
02:59 And what a lovely little diagonal ball backwards
03:03 with the inside of the right foot from Danielsen.
03:06 Terrific, it really was.
03:09 And then it was just stroked home.
03:11 And stroked home with a blob.
03:13 Here you see him just hold the top of the 18-yard box.
03:17 Inside of the right foot.
03:21 Picks out the top spot.
03:23 Fantastic finish from Fernando Sobral.
03:27 D'Urlis Lopez signifies that that's the end of our first 45 minutes.
03:34 48 minutes to be precise.
03:36 But that is the end of the first half.
03:39 Here is confirmation of the fact that Cuiabá lead
03:45 Metropolitano 1-0.
03:47 Luis, 27 years of age, the Brazilian.
03:55 Bina Cuiabá, since 2022.
04:04 He'd go out on loan in 2023 out to South Korea.
04:14 Danielsen again. Too many touches is it?
04:18 No, does well to keep possession.
04:20 Ball goes into the box.
04:22 It's aimless, it should have been aimless.
04:25 No communication there between back line and goalkeeper.
04:33 I thought he'd touch this, I must admit.
04:37 Maybe doesn't quite touch it.
04:42 He meant to, that's for sure.
04:44 Lucas Fernandes.
04:48 With Brazilian giant Sao Paulo as Metropolitano's launched the ball into the penalty area.
04:54 Clip back in again.
05:00 Great strike!
05:03 Just wide of the left hand upright from the goalkeeper's point of view.
05:08 Passinato, very unlucky. That is all it takes sometimes.
05:14 Probably a little closer than I thought.
05:19 But did have Passinato just scrambling across to his left hand side.
05:24 That strike from Leonardo Pires.
05:26 This one in Group H.
05:29 Eugenio, nil.
05:30 Coquimbo, Unido, nil.
05:35 One nil here with Cuiabá. Here's Pita hoping to make it two and two.
05:40 He does make it.
05:42 A glancing header from Isidro Pita.
05:46 Who wears the nine, plays as the nine.
05:50 A terrific header.
05:53 And that is game, set and match you would sense for Cuiabá.
06:01 Points up you would imagine.
06:03 Great work down the right hand side.
06:06 A lovely little cross.
06:08 And for the first time, Metropolitano's don't get to the ball.
06:13 And it's Mateus Alexandre with the cross.
06:18 It's Isidro Pita, the 24 year old Paraguayan with the finish.
06:23 Terrific header from Pita.
06:27 Nestles into that far corner of the net.
06:31 The 20 year old coming on for Martinez as well.
06:34 Cut back, surely it must be Pita, the toe poke.
06:43 Danilson with the shower cap on.
06:46 But surely that's offside.
06:48 Danilson isn't happy with that.
06:56 Here we see it, they come again.
07:00 Well that is very, very close.
07:03 It can only be, let's not forget,
07:11 sit at the foot of the Brasileiro.
07:16 Pita, what can he do? He finds the back of the net again.
07:20 It's too easy for the big man.
07:23 That's three in two.
07:28 He curls up in the fetal position.
07:31 And his teammates applaud him and they jump upon him.
07:38 There's a huge smile on the face of Isidro Pita.
07:43 It's just too easy though, he's allowed to turn, nobody closed him down.
07:48 The goalkeeper's off his line and he picks his spot.
07:54 And take a bow, Isidro Pita, dreadful defending from Leonardo Perez, the 20 year old.
08:02 Doesn't get anywhere near Pita, doesn't force his head down, doesn't block the shot.
08:07 And Pita says thank you very much, that's three nothing.
08:11 In the aperture, quadrangular.
08:21 And that is it.
08:24 D'Urlis Lopez signifies the end of the game with a shrill blast on his whistle.
08:29 You feel a little sorry for Metropolitano.
08:34 There is confirmation of your full time scoreline.
