00:00 [CROWD NOISE]
00:09 Trying to take top spot in the group.
00:12 [CROWD NOISE]
00:13 It's Junior, the Colombians against the Ecuadorians.
00:16 Liga de Quito on the Sudamericana of course last season.
00:20 And our former champions of the Libertadores as well.
00:24 The year where Junior will come forward to do have options inside.
00:28 Now it's neatly worked early. Opportunity!
00:30 Wonderful save and scrambled away.
00:33 [CROWD NOISE]
00:36 A bit of corner.
00:37 Here's the opportunity.
00:38 They're so poor from Junior, isn't it?
00:40 Just can't really find a way through.
00:42 And so nicely done.
00:45 And Azucaray.
00:48 Half a strike and it's a magnificent save from Mele.
00:51 [CROWD NOISE]
00:54 New York. Pretty loose in terms of possession.
00:59 Another strike at goal.
01:00 Just zips past Santiago Mele's goal.
01:02 So promisingly.
01:04 They got the bit between their teeth early doors.
01:07 [CROWD NOISE]
01:10 Chada was there initially. Neatly done.
01:13 And then Morano.
01:14 Hats inside. Is he going to win inside a free kick?
01:17 And the referee...
01:21 has given the decision.
01:27 And Morano...
01:30 was just inside the penalty area. Was he?
01:33 It's tied. I think the initial contact looks outside but...
01:38 Ooh, it might just be on the line.
01:40 Referee's given the penalty.
01:42 And Morano cuts inside.
01:46 How close was that?
01:49 I think the initial contact is right on the line.
01:52 [CROWD NOISE]
01:56 It's Carlos Bacca.
01:58 And it squeezes in.
02:03 Willy back to brace against Botafogo on match day one.
02:07 And the 37 year old nets tonight against Liga de Quito.
02:11 On match day three.
02:15 Well Dominguez...
02:18 got gloves to it. It's not a particularly good penalty you'd have to say.
02:24 But Carlos Bacca...
02:27 just about manages to squeeze the ball underneath the goalkeeper.
02:35 Turns 38 later in the year. There's Carlos Bacca.
02:38 And as a goal scorer...
02:39 Looked to launch a bit of a counter.
02:42 Here comes Junior once more.
02:45 Interception though from Quinones.
02:47 Quinones plays it forwards.
02:50 Marseille lays it off.
02:52 And there's the effort.
02:55 Santiago by Carlos Bacca.
02:59 This Marseille...
03:02 couldn't keep it in play.
03:07 Joan Julio.
03:12 Hit and done by Estrada.
03:14 Plays it through intelligently for Arce.
03:16 Who keeps it alive at the ball.
03:19 Inter Liga de Quito back in possession.
03:23 It really is that kind of game. Here's Arce.
03:25 Lays it off for Estrada.
03:27 Estrada hurdles a couple of challenges.
03:30 Estrada.
03:31 Three options inside. And once again Santiago.
03:35 Really nice football.
03:37 On that right-hand side. And Jose Quintero bursting forwards.
03:43 Goalkeeper. Mugurai's going to take it.
03:46 He's also there.
03:48 Mugurai straight into the wall.
03:51 Right now for Rodriguez.
03:53 Helps it back in.
03:55 The danger not properly cleared.
03:57 Drops kindly now for Quintero to hit.
04:00 And he never quite got hold.
04:03 [Music]
04:14 Sat up nicely, didn't it? For Jose Quintero.
04:18 Hiding inside intelligently.
04:20 And Chara trying to play the ball to Enemarado.
04:23 Great chance to make it to.
04:24 Enemarado cuts back on himself.
04:26 And again. Angles tight.
04:28 And no one really with him.
04:36 The chance once again is Santiago Mele who is there.
04:40 And the game.
04:44 Can't be offside from a throw in of course.
04:47 The ball did come off.
04:49 Nikita Bory came off Estepina.
04:51 And in fact.
04:53 When he took the strike on.
04:56 And eventually get away.
04:58 Quinonez there.
05:00 Piovi.
05:02 Piovi that's really loose.
05:03 And a chance now for Junior to stream forward.
05:05 And all of a sudden they've got options left and right.
05:08 And he's going to find Enemarado.
05:10 Who cuts inside.
05:11 Enemarado!
05:15 Got to test the goal.
05:17 It's so well did Junior.
05:20 The break with pace and purpose.
05:25 And he's got to get it back.
05:27 Carlos back was offside and he tried to bring him into play.
05:30 And Enemarado though.
05:32 Having done the hard part and worked the space for the strike.
05:36 Got to test the goalkeeper.
05:42 Joan Julio.
05:49 Quick feet steal Joan Julio.
05:55 It's really good play from Julio.
05:57 Haven't seen too much of him.
05:59 Just so clever this isn't it.
06:03 It's a bit of a clumsy.
06:05 Bit of a reckless challenge.
06:09 Moreno.
06:10 Don't think he needs to slide in like that either.
06:17 Here's Arce.
06:19 Against Santiago Mele.
06:21 On the strike of half time he tucks it away.
06:24 And Liga de Quito are level.
06:27 And you have to say on the balance of play.
06:30 The Ecuadorians have absolutely deserved.
06:35 Penalty kick but Arce.
06:37 Zip zone is ever first.
06:39 Libertador's goal.
06:41 It's a really good penalty.
06:42 Better than Carlos Bacchus penalty in the first half.
06:44 In the first.
06:47 For the first goal I should say.
06:49 Even though of course that did squeeze beyond the goalkeeper.
06:52 But it's Julio one.
07:05 And two penalties are showing the way to Junior.
07:09 Carlos Bacchus.
07:14 And Alex Arce.
07:22 What a piece to be missed there after the opening 45 minutes of football.
07:25 Two penalties in that first half.
07:28 What a piece.
07:29 Back of a Junior.
07:30 Arce for Liga de Quito.
07:32 Here comes Junior once more.
07:33 And here comes Caicedo.
07:36 Here comes Caicedo.
07:39 Against Quintero.
07:40 Caicedo.
07:44 The pitch.
07:45 He's one of the ones who can find a top corner from there.
07:49 Look at this overlapping run coming.
07:53 Just from Fuentes.
07:56 Just opened up the space slightly.
07:58 But Caicedo to take it on.
08:09 Hatté.
08:10 Offs to go long.
08:13 Might break now.
08:15 Julio just lays it square.
08:18 And Estrada can only.
08:20 Julio does really well.
08:26 Teed it up perfectly really for Estrada.
08:30 You see what he's trying to do.
08:32 Wrap his foot around it.
08:39 Quintero's going to launch this one in.
08:40 There's a bit of a breeze in the air as well.
08:43 Quintero does.
08:46 Into a good area.
08:47 But Santiago Mele.
08:52 Inside the area it's Caicedo.
08:56 You've saved Dominguez.
08:59 He's come to life in this second half.
09:01 I bet Caicedo very busy indeed.
09:05 Yumi Chara.
09:07 Just offloading to Caicedo and saying you do the rest.
09:10 Look.
09:12 This game could really go in either direction couldn't it?
09:15 I mean it's just got that feel to it.
09:18 Chances at either end.
09:20 This opportunity now for Chara.
09:23 Who squares it to Bakker.
09:26 Can't believe he has it in the target.
09:32 Well Chara was offside.
09:34 He was offside initially with the run.
09:36 Does the right thing by squaring it.
09:38 Now it's Bakker who put that over.
09:46 Carlos Bakker inside.
09:48 Matisse again.
09:50 Slowing his way through.
09:51 Still going.
09:52 And still.
09:53 Would have been something truly special.
09:56 Would have been a wonderful individual goal.
10:01 Good balance initially.
10:03 Then drops the shoulder.
10:04 A little bit of luck.
10:06 Can't find the target.
10:09 Had so many nearly moments in the game.
10:14 So well placed for that kind of position.
10:19 He's got to make the goalkeeper work.
10:21 Did the hard part by finding a way through.
10:29 Dinks it long too.
10:31 Into a good area.
10:32 Has the cut back.
10:33 Carlos Bakker's there.
10:35 Carlos Bakker lays it up.
10:38 It's behind for a corner.
10:42 Two players inside the area.
10:47 This was nice from Carlos Bakker.
10:51 Flexing it since coming on.
10:52 Gonzalez.
10:54 And finds Puentes.
10:57 Puentes with the cross in.
10:59 Good shot for Habal.
11:00 Referee says no.
11:04 Did it come off the arm?
11:05 The arm's certainly up.
11:07 It's been an unnatural position as well.
11:09 Inside the penalty area.
11:15 Look at this.
11:28 Well, the referee's going to have a look at the monitor.
11:31 It is inside the area.
11:33 And Estu Pinon is going to be penalized here.
11:36 And Carlos Bakker.
11:38 He's going to have an opportunity from 12 yards out.
11:47 It's a penalty.
11:51 He's sluiced Gonzalez.
11:54 Gonzalez steps up.
11:55 Off the post.
11:59 Have back off the goalkeeper and away.
12:02 What an opportunity not taken from Gez in a way.
12:08 Played really well since coming on as the number 10.
12:13 But Carlos Bakker scored the first pen.
12:17 And he opted not to take the second.
12:22 Sneakily done too.
12:25 Properly cleared.
12:26 A little bit casual.
12:27 Here's Gonzalez.
12:28 Gonzalez across the face.
12:30 And Gabriel Fuentes couldn't turn it home.
12:36 On his left foot.
12:38 It's a golden, golden chance to win it.
12:44 A minute in terms of delays.
12:46 But a full-time whistle does go.
12:48 Bit of a blockbuster in Colombia.
12:51 A really entertaining game of group D football in the Combo Bowl.
12:55 And the match is over.
12:57 John Jr.
13:00 To the scorers today.
13:03 Today Jr.
13:04 We have to say Jr.
13:06 Had the opportunity to win this match.
13:08 [MUSIC]

13:15 (upbeat music)
