00:00We are underway, it's Boston River against New Blenze, Boston River in their traditional red and green, and New Blenze in their change, all whites.
00:14Looking for a place in the Libertadores third round.
00:17It's all the strongest and Bahia play out a 1-1 draw last night in Bolivia.
00:33The winner of that tie will face the winners of this one.
00:37And the winners of that tie you would say are favourites, Guillermo Lopez to take.
00:51Swung into the six yard box, headed on goal, just over the top of the crossbar.
00:58He's going to take it.
01:02Another one into the six yard box and it meets a red and green head.
01:07Bortega Rai just off balance, leaning back in the end and as a result the ball going up over the crossbar but goes down.
01:15We also saw Allianza Lima pick up a 1-0 win over Boca Juniors. Massive result.
01:21Coming into their second leg next week back at La Bombonera.
01:24Akike also of Chile drew 1-1 with Independiente Santa Fe.
01:33Two games coming up later on today as well and then tomorrow.
01:37Monagas taking on Cerro Porteño and Deportes to Lima.
01:42Midway through the first half here in lack of clear chances.
01:48The header of Geronimo Bortega Rai over the crossbar, one of the very few who get the game's second yellow card.
01:55This one's flashed in the direction of Alino Mude.
02:00As soon as they get into the Boston River half they don't seem to have any idea of how to get through.
02:07That will be a free kick.
02:10It will be another yellow card. Shown to Martin Gonzalez.
02:20As we wait for this throw to be taken, Ivo Mendes decides he's seen enough.
02:26Difficult first half of the game. Team still looking.
02:32Teams are looking to find their footing in the first 45 minutes of play here on Beansports.
02:40Couple of yellow cards for Boston River, one for New Blenze.
02:44We'll see how that affects, if any, substitutions or whatever is next.
02:49We'll take a short break. Gonna come back with the highlights from this, the first half of football.
02:54It is nil-nil after 45 minutes here on Beansports.
03:00Second half, Boston River nil, New Blenze nil.
03:11In the Libertadores, aiming for a place in the third phase of the tournament.
03:16Before we enter the group stage of the 2025 edition, South America's premier competition.
03:29Here's Martin Gonzalez.
03:36Boston River now going left to right in their traditional red and green.
03:41New Blenze in their change, all white.
03:47It's a deep corner.
03:49Another header on goal that I think flicks off the crossbar.
03:54López will certainly argue he had it covered as it just looped towards goal.
04:01I think even without the goalkeepers in tonight, Bruno Antunes hit the ball long.
04:08Ball's knocked down. Here's Freddy Martínez. Martínez crosses from deep.
04:13Good fall at the back post, shot on goal. The first shot on goal.
04:16And the first of the second half, the ball falling for Guillermo López at the back post.
04:23Took a touch, got the shot off. And it's a good save from Nicola Pérez.
04:34Another corner, a free kick for the home team. It's a good delivery.
04:37It's a really great chance.
04:40Who gets there? There wouldn't have been a flag. He's completely unmarked.
04:44Stretching to a degree on the volley.
04:49But that would be being very kind to Guillermo Borteguerai.
04:56Because if he just hits the target, it's a goal.
05:03It's delivered in.
05:04Handed away by Labrine, but bouncing around awkwardly inside the six-yard box.
05:09Eventually, it's picked up by Nicola Pérez.
05:18This is the scramble inside the six-yard box. Breaks down.
05:29It's a mistake that could present a chance here.
05:31Adamo inside the area, took his time, took a deflection.
05:35And Nicola Pérez...
05:48This is the scramble inside the six-yard box.
05:52I wonder what they're checking.
05:54If they are checking something here.
05:56I think Adamo, when he went for that bicycle kick, was slightly offside.
06:01So it might render anything that happens after that moment,
06:05in terms of a potential foul, irrelevant.
06:14He's coming across to take a look.
06:19Just looking, just as he goes to outstretch that boot,
06:23there's that contact that stops him from Calderon.
06:34And the offside is what's been given up.
06:36Not entirely sure why.
06:40Gutiérrez.
06:43Filters it wide to Acosta, his low cross away.
06:45Back to Acosta though.
06:46We'll get a second chance.
06:47Delivers this one in the back post.
06:49It's another save from Acosta.
06:50There's a claim for a handball there.
06:54Second cross that came in, just hung up in the air.
06:57Keeper caught a little in no man's land as the header comes in.
07:01Then makes a good save.
07:02But did take a touch on the way.
07:04And maybe it does flick off the arm.
07:07Think of Labrine.
07:08He's not looking.
07:09He's facing the other way as he falls.
07:12Maybe just brushes the arm on the route to goal
07:14before Nicolas Perez makes the save.
07:16But it would be very, very harsh.
07:20The contact is unquestionable.
07:24Absolutely brushes against his arm.
07:26I don't think it makes any difference.
07:28Miguel Mendes has seen enough.
07:30I think he's going to point to the spot.
07:34He does.
07:35It is a penalty.
07:37And as I said,
07:39Allianz Salima in the first round.
07:41The penalty that was awarded to Allianz Salima
07:43in stoppage time.
07:47As Boston River finish third.
07:51The 23-year-old
07:53looking to get his account open.
07:55And he does just that.
07:56Sends Nicolas Perez the wrong way.
07:59And finally provides the breakthrough in this game.
08:03Boston River lead.
08:05Gutierrez the goal scorer.
08:08He's not going to let go of that penalty.
08:13The goal scorer,
08:15Gustavo Gutierrez.
08:18Cool penalty from the 23-year-old.
08:26Another who perhaps hasn't quite lived up
08:29to his early expectation in his career
08:33as an under 17 international.
08:35But the 23-year-old is decisive when it is counted tonight.
08:38the difference. That's not the case. They do have the ball back and continue coming down the right
08:44hand side. Pedro Sanchez tries to spin his marker and instead draws a foul that sees
08:49Agustin Amado booked. Fourth yellow card of the game.
09:00He's not going to allow for the throw to be taken. He will indeed end the contest,
09:06end the first leg. And at the halfway point in the tie it's Boston River.
09:13Then it's full time. Boston River wins it 1-0 at home with a pelty kick by Juan
09:18Morel Gutierrez. Now they'll have to go into Chile to try and keep their advantage.
09:26Good opportunity for them to advance to the next round. Then they'll have very difficult,
09:33rivals. Remember they will play the winner of the crossing between Bahia and the strongest we
09:37have in the qualifying rounds. Two Brazilian teams this time with Bahia and Corinthians playing today.
