00:00from the kick-off and take a look at this picture take a look at this take
00:05because they are impressive a lot of people coming to see
00:17stages up and running then in the north of Brazil six seconds in a first foul
00:22between in this match between Fortaleza and Racing I'm Joel Richards your match
00:26commentary first opportunity to launch an attacking set piece Marinho will
00:30leave it floated in it's a freeheader on the edge of the box and Adias is forced
00:37to just tip it over the bar corner kick fouled in this build-up the amount of
00:43space that is afforded on that far post to Kuciewicz Racing I know is going to
00:49be one of the target men the height of that's of the center back he's all alone
00:57quite get the do Martina
01:04Martinez does excellently to control finds Vieto real opening a great save by
01:10Jacques Ricardo no foul given and now there's a bit of space then for Barbosa
01:17to attack
01:22Marinho
01:26enough power on it
01:31Marinho ensuring there's no real short corner option for available for Rojas
01:40instead find Sosa who puts it back in the mix that's a brilliantly taken goal
01:45that gives Racing the advantage in Fortaleza there's no real change to the
01:52atmosphere but look at the freeheader for Sosa it's poor defending Marinho with
01:58the ball in and there's no Fortaleza play on the end of it it's clear by the
02:05goal scorer Maxi Salas and how about this for a mistake is Martina and he's
02:09just put it just wide and that is a real let's off for Fortaleza
02:19on earth was the right midfielder the right wing back Martina Gaston Martina
02:25doing there where's the last kick of the game and if you're Fortaleza supporters
02:33and if you avoid all that so ladies and gentlemen Fortaleza nil Racing Club
02:42in Fortaleza we're on the way it's Fortaleza nil Racing one is the second
02:49half starts I'm Joel Richards your match commentator this evening in this groupie
02:53clash between Fortaleza and Racing which arguably that's not how the Brazilians
03:02would have wanted to start another opening for Martinez a bit of space on
03:06the edge of the area it's another save by Joel Ricardo the attacks not over
03:12although that's good work by Kusevich
03:17here's Marty then who came so close to extending the lead that's a lovely ball
03:21that's a promising attack it's Martinez cuts it back to Vieto good save Vieto
03:26once again can Martinez get onto the end of it he doesn't need to because it's in
03:30the back of the net it's Agustin Almendra with the second goal for Racing
03:37Fortaleza simply haven't come out of the changing room
03:47it all stems from this brilliant ball clip forward that Martinez looks to latch
03:56onto Vieto had two attempts but look how Titi the captain the centre-back just
04:02stands still as Almendra arrives from deep steals in and it's an easy finish
04:09for the number 32
04:17and I make that three saves already in this first half by Joel Ricardo in goal
04:23for Fortaleza but he was unable to do anything about that one
04:32well it's a snapshot yes in goal for Racing didn't get a hold of it did he
04:44I'm sure he was quite expecting to get that ball Paul Fernandes did just enough
04:49to keep the move going as David Luiz looks to put it back in the mix it's
04:53untidy right now but now the race is on well read by Joel Ricardo
05:02look how open this match is look at that run it's absolute magic or it's
05:10almost a wonderful goal
05:14who picks it up here
05:21tells Martinez I've got this one drives through the defense Kuciewicz doesn't
05:27dare tackle him Edos Mancuso can't do anything David Luiz is looking to
05:34it's another corner kick for Racing what's a great save by Joel Ricardo
05:42absolutely spectacular just loses his footing
05:48and it does allow a counter-attack for Racing it's four on two
05:54De Generes it's Martinez or just the inside of the post a real let off for
06:00Fortaleza as Rojas his head up capitalizing on mistakes made by their
06:06opponents
06:10Mancuso bit of space now for Pochettino
06:17descends on Fortaleza's supporters they've got to see this match out and
06:22they hoped it's not going to be by any greater margin it is it's in the back of
06:28the net it's another goal for Racing and it's Sosa who's always been a danger in
06:33these set pieces and he goes to celebrate with the man who set that up
06:37because it's another wonderful delivery by Rojas the traveling supporters
06:45once again it's just a simple header for Sosa remember when he won the header
06:56for the first goal which he headed back across the face of goal he was
06:59completely unmarked on that occasion as well but Paul Fernandes who arguably
07:04isn't the strongest in the air
07:09marking Sosa who
07:15from that mistake there's another counter-attack for Racing is Adrian
07:26Balboa
07:30Rodriguez comes to Solari it's another save by Joao Ricardo against Fluminense
07:39recent winners of the Libertadores as look at Racing charging forward they're
07:45three nil up away from home look at this just absolute will to attack it's
07:49Balboa with the shot
07:53for Racing Club as that brings it to an end the boos sound out and it's a
08:06victory for Racing believe it or not three
