00:05Cherki, Almada helps it on and the shot from range is an absolutely breathtaking goal from
00:15Ernest Muammar. Maitland-Niles with the throw to Matic, Serb to Englishman, to Ghanaian,
00:27all from distance. Well that had some velocity on it. And the man who set up both goals last
00:38weekend looking for some glory again this week. Yet to score for Lyon since arriving in
00:47the winter window from by Timothy Pemberley. Mwanga can't get it and all of a sudden Malik
00:57Fafana is away again. Looking for Mikatadza, little bit wide for the Georgian. Back inside!
01:06Finished off by Thiago Almada. A terrific performance from the Argentine, capped with the goal that
01:17seals the three points. A first goal from the man who's just come in from Botafogo.
01:32Lahav chasing the game, losing possession. Outnumbered in attack. A little wide for Mikatadza, but
01:41it's another assist for the Georgian. What a couple of games he's had in the last three days. And
01:51a lovely finish from Almada. That's careless though by Alexandro. Almada. Taliso. Mikatadza. Almada. Denied by
02:05Lucas Chevalier. For Paul Akuaku. Ivorian making his first appearance of the season.
02:24What he has done, how he's pulled this group of players together, restored their confidence
02:31levels. But it wasn't easy for the club because they had to go again in the transfer market in
02:36a big way in January, February, having done so in the summer. It reaches Fafana for Lyon.
02:43Can go both ways. Went both ways. Oh, what a way to start. Magnificent man in Fafana. That is how
02:55to make pretty much everybody here feel pretty good again. That was special.
03:04Mikatadza again. Played it to Tessman. He was on for a second in a week of course. They may be
03:12more. It looks like Renner thinking about being on the bus. They didn't seem to be able
03:25to do much. Another save by the goalkeeper. Tessman maybe.
03:35He's going to be able to hit the corner. Here for Lyon. The position of the
03:40finish. No. The shot is left. What a hit. Sensational part of Zynga. The Tiago
03:48was very powerful. Strong and well placed. Also, he rebuffed.
03:52Zynga tooko Zynga. I think not. I think he rebuffed and gave his hand. I think it
03:56could be. Here comes Botafogo. Just finding these spaces. Luis Enrique favors that left foot of his.
04:02Jinx his way through. Clever little back heel from him. Botafogo.
04:07So, so close to the opener.
04:11Feet. He's got to kind of source his feet out here. You can see.
04:14But nonetheless with his instep.
04:18And William.
04:19Caleri again just has it nicked away. Now space is down that left-hand channel.
04:28Defenders backing off. And this one sticks him. But why? Yet again.
04:33Armada. Causing all sorts of problems.
04:36From that perspective, I think Sao Paulo have got to be a bit cleverer. They've got to know what's coming here.
04:41Armada. I think you've just got to test the goalkeeper.
04:44You know, too many of these tonight so far for Botafogo where it's not a bad effort on goal, but you've got to ask the question of the goalkeeper.
04:52Make it make it a while. This game's come to life.
04:59Armada, nice little turn from him as he got the end product.
05:02It's a deflected ball enforcers. Rafael into the stop for the first time tonight.
05:07And it's not particularly pretty, but they haven't conceded in the last five Libertadores ties.
05:16Now, danger here for Sao Paulo. There it is. And they do concede!
05:22The keeper turning it into the pace of Almeida, the Argentine. And we've got the goal.
05:29Botafogo wanted. And from a neutral perspective, that's absolutely bang on.
05:34San Paolo did it at the back. Rafael couldn't find that safe area.
05:40And the young Argentine has given Botafogo the lead, and it is now game on.
05:46And it's been coming, not just today, John, but over the course of the first leg and the start of the second leg.
05:51I mean, Botafogo, they're the side that have had all the chances. They're the side that have been trying to apply the high press.
05:56They've win it back really high at the pitch here, and it's very neatly done.
05:59And just look at Tiago Armada, because he's just alive to the possibility.
06:02He knows that he's only going to get one sniff at this, and when it comes back to him, he just nods at goal words.
06:07I mean, I don't think there's too much that the goalkeeper really could have done there.
06:12Rafael, I mean, he's got to get a pour on it because he knows his players coming in behind him.
06:16But Tiago Armada's there. And now, as you rightly say, we do have a game on our hands.
06:21Sao Paulo, they can no longer sit back. They have to come out and attack.
06:26Neither mega, mega signings as Penny Roller stretched here. Black and white shirts are slowly getting forward.
06:35Golly, not the fifth. Again in the way.
06:39Come, keep it out. It is number five.
06:42And Igor Jesus gets his name on the score sheet. That is the tie over. If there was any doubt before, there isn't now.
06:54Sends it in. Lifted over. Talking. Here he is again. Solid.
07:09Tries to play his side out of a hole and does so. Now the white shirts are streaking forward.
07:13They'd like the goal here. Third time. Lucky perhaps. Unselfish.
07:18What a Fogo. Almada on the score sheets.
07:24You can hear the travelling fans in the background. Very unselfish.
07:30From Marlon Freitas. Powers his way through as he's done all night. Sees his face.
07:38Or the punish, Penny Roller. But we've had a game. It's been a terrific spectacle in the carnival Libertadores.
