00:00 They are facing today and this is the third time they are facing for an international title.
00:10 They did it in Libertadores 2008.
00:21 Fluminense in their three coloured shirts. Let's recall of Girogeniero. Three coloured shirts, the first time they have won the Libertadores and they will have to backtrack here.
00:32 And a penalty for a penalty referee was very well sighted.
00:37 Felipe Melo didn't pick them up.
00:43 They do play this way. That's a bit dodgy from Fabio. And under Fernando Ginez, Fluminense forced in a way to...
00:52 It's a tricky bit of scheduling for Fluminense.
00:57 Opportunity here in on goal. Cano!
01:01 It was so magnificent last year. The Argentine goes to ground and Ginez is about to blow a fuse.
01:07 Just inside the penalty box as well.
01:10 This one yes, but not that one.
01:16 Yes, you see there is a slight...
01:23 Maffrey has made up his mind. Well, that is interesting. Very, very interesting at the start of his first half.
01:33 Fabio, let's say he had it covered.
01:43 From the house, it was Blancos looking to take the lead here. Zamperano again, let's fly!
01:52 And just for a second, that net bulging from the wrong side. Almost a wonder strike.
02:01 Again, that ball, just wonder from Felipe Melo. Got a feeling he knows what he's doing at 40.
02:09 Muganso, back out helping.
02:15 Could also be the altitude factor I was mentioning earlier.
02:20 Another pot shot, sells! Just over the Argentine captain.
02:27 Mugan firing efforts from this kind of range.
02:34 Once again, you see just how quickly the ball moves through the air.
02:42 He's in possession now. He likes to run players on his pump.
02:48 And it slipped through very nicely. The keeper makes a good stop.
02:52 And it's dinked away. Zamperano taking their time.
03:01 Valiga, and they finally pull the trigger again. Fabio didn't really move.
03:08 All we can say is that the coach, or rather the keeper...
03:12 If you have any Portuguese speakers, I apologise for the language there.
03:17 To the air, and the header down was the right idea. It's off target though.
03:24 Nunez with the delivery.
03:31 Fouled, getting behind their side. Again, it's down the centre. It's built!
03:37 And how on earth did that one stay out? Gonzalez on the follow-up. Fabio made a real mess of that.
03:44 You could see his face there, Sebastián Gonzalez. He knows what a massive chance he's passed up.
03:52 Fabio does well, realising his mistake. He just dives, flails.
03:57 And well, very, very close there.
04:04 Almost for a second, it looked like the ball was going to go straight in from the Argentine.
04:14 And again it's floated, and again it's off target.
04:23 There's Rahn. He's going to have a go, and he's at foot! It's not picked up.
04:34 And the first episode of this first leg in Recopa Sudamericana is gone.
04:40 Nil-nil, no goals in the first 45 minutes, but the best is yet to come. Only here on the Esports.
04:51 Where did he go there? It was Blanco, the white, kicking from left to right.
04:58 Hackering that Fluminense goal without any joy.
05:07 Official game of the season.
05:10 And a slip round the back. Felipe Melo is alert to the danger.
05:20 And Terlo again.
05:23 Ball in the air again, and cruelly chested back by Guga.
05:30 And Biobe almost put the ball straight into the net from the other side of the pitch.
05:33 It's missed by everybody.
05:35 But once, the aerial delivery was more than effective.
05:40 Biobe's balls have caused problems.
05:44 And yet to win it, it's hanging in the air, and it does so again, and Hurtado puts it wide.
05:51 On both these sides, even though it's 62 minutes on the clock.
05:55 Oh, to the air again, it's swung in, and it's a deflection, and it goes wide.
06:00 Hurtado on the end of it.
06:04 He got that final touch, looking at Thiago Santos.
06:08 Trying to mix and match. Not seen many long-range efforts in the second period.
06:14 Biobe floats it forwards, and he missed times his lunge.
06:19 Can the Liga find it in them to get away through?
06:23 Gonzalez probably wasn't expecting that one, so it'll happen to the pump.
06:26 And Drake threw his body in the way.
06:30 They're looking more to play down the right and then play these cross-field balls.
06:34 Estrada miscontrolled it, and Thiago Santos gets it clear to the rescue again.
06:43 Watching that one, thinking, "I would have controlled that a bit better."
06:47 May have, I think it was just about onside, but...
06:57 Giannulli again, gets it out from under his feet, and it's drilled wide now.
07:02 Dominguez got a touch on that one.
07:05 Yeah, an opportunity for Fluminense, John Arias.
07:09 Oh, there's the opportunity.
07:13 And L.A. took a swing at that one. It's gone out of play.
07:16 With our stretched.
07:19 There's those long-range shots we saw.
07:21 It's a crowd in there. It strikes a white shirt on its way in.
07:25 It might not be La Liga's night.
07:28 La Liga haven't really done much in the air tonight.
07:32 And they don't really do a lot now.
07:34 Estrada initially.
07:37 A second bite of a cherry, though.
07:40 One of the subs.
07:43 It's lost control.
07:45 A bit of play there by Flue.
07:48 Still no-one making challenges. He has a pot shot.
07:54 I think you're fair to say that both sets of players have really run out of steam here.
08:00 We see Quintero had acres of space just to move forward.
08:04 That one does well.
08:06 Doesn't get a touch on that. Looks like that might sneak under the crossbar.
08:10 Piovi poised.
08:13 I believe.
08:16 It's in the air.
08:27 It's in the back of the legs.
08:30 Whistle's gone. Is this one going to stand?
08:33 Are we going to get ruled out for offside here?
08:36 Looking at Estrada.
08:39 Alzu get that final touch as it went in.
08:44 There's the number 19.
08:46 Does he get a touch?
08:50 Yeah, it looks like he just.
08:53 I'd like to see the incident, maybe from a few more angles.
08:58 What we do.
09:02 That would suggest, and more than suggest, he's offside.
09:06 But does he get a touch, though?
09:08 Well, there's a crowd reaction and they've given a goal here.
09:13 We didn't see it from the behind the ball and behind the goal, so maybe he didn't get a touch.
09:19 Well, Arcee can't be celebrating, surely, because if he did touch it, it's offside.
09:25 But he is celebrating.
09:29 And this again, we've seen some very, very interesting decisions from our referee and the VR team tonight.
09:40 It's a fascinating decision.
09:43 Arcee knows that he's touched that.
09:46 We know he's touched it.
09:48 And from that, we're not convinced we've got it right.
09:52 This warm-up drop to Dominguez.
09:59 Arcee booked, of course, for the celebrations.
10:05 Again, it's in the air.
10:07 Again, it sails wide of a target.
10:11 And it's over, ladies and gentlemen, it's over.
10:14 Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito won this match, one-nil against Fluminense.
10:20 The first leg is over.
10:22 But next Thursday, Fluminense will face Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito in Maracanã Stadium.
10:29 So everything will be decided in the next match.
