00:00Club has won back-to-back matches against Uruguayan opponents in the Libertadores.

00:05The last time that happened, it was 1999, over 25 years ago.

00:17Running in Montevideo, Uruguay, in the return leg of...

00:24in the first phase of qualification in the Commonwealth Libertadores.

00:28I'm Joel Richards, your commentator this evening.

00:34The aggregate score, very much in favour of the Venezuelans playing in the lime-yellow shirts.

00:44Oscar Pires, the centre-back is...

00:54And when you also look at the type of striker they are, there's not that mobility.

01:00That was the question last week and it remains the question of where the goals will come from for defence or sporting.

01:09We have the first yellow.

01:14Now all you guys have come out, there's a bit of confusion on the edge of the box.

01:26The attack is still on.

01:27That's an excellent defensive header from...

01:31He's put his head on this shot.

01:35It's just a disaster from Nicolas Henry.

01:42He's just completely missed the ball.

01:45Poor communication between Pires and Olivares.

01:49The defence to allow Soria Montoja to get forward.

01:58Here is Prieto.

01:59Nicely done by the number 21 and indeed the 21-year-old.

02:06Space here for Rodriguez.

02:09It's in the back of the net.

02:11And is that good night, Defensor?

02:14And has that put Monagas' place in the second phase of the Libertadores qualification?

02:21Leaving Tomas Rodriguez, the Panamanian striker, all alone.

02:27Caravaggio acts quickly.

02:36Rodriguez doesn't think about it twice.

02:39And he gets the power to put it underneath Kevin Dawson in goal for Defensor.

02:54Look at what it means to Ferreira.

02:57They know that surely that is it.

03:03Montoja.

03:05This is Prieto.

03:11Let's get to the byline.

03:12Decent ball across the face of goal.

03:13Real opportunity here for Defensor.

03:18Well, Soria...

03:21But it's arguably the best attack from Defensor.

03:25Prieto getting a bit of space.

03:26Bit of luck, bit of fortune there with the...

03:33Battling away Prieto.

03:36And it's frustration there from the youngster that will earn him a yellow card.

03:56And the first 45 minutes are gone and Monagas is winning.

04:01One nil against Defensor Sporting.

04:05Listen to the stadium.

04:08They are not happy.

04:09They are not happy, ladies and gentlemen.

04:12They are one step closer to be out of the competition.

04:16Let's go to a break, we're coming back.

04:20Rodriguez also comes on for Monagas.

04:28We've also got Diego Abreu, the son of El Loco Sebastian Abreu.

04:34The legendary Uruguayan striker.

04:39So some firepower for Defensor.

04:43However, they're already on the back foot.

04:45Rodriguez finds Navas with a bit of space.

04:48He hit it first time.

04:49Again, it's another wayward pass that stops any movement, any fluidity to attack.

04:56However, here's Aldez in a great position for Defensor.

04:59Aldez!

05:01Excellent save by Olivares.

05:03More industry.

05:06Also looking to mix up their attackers.

05:09Here comes Romero.

05:13Finds Navas who leaves it excellently for Gallardo.

05:18Romero.

05:20That is an absolutely beautiful goal that seals this tie in favour of Monagas.

05:26It's brilliant.

05:29Andres Romero.

05:32Set and match.

05:36Once again, Defensor Sporting leave one of the Monagas players in acres of space with the side of goal.

05:45In the first half, it was Tomas Rodriguez.

05:48Here it's Andres Romero.

05:54He provided the assist for the first.

05:56Scores the second.

06:00Barring an absolute miracle.

06:02That is the end of Defensor Sporting's participation.

06:06Just compounds the disappointment for the Violeta who is still looking to find a way through.

06:10And as we said, even at halftime, 3-0 down on aggregate.

06:15They're playing for pride.

06:34A better attack by Abril.

06:38Some certain lack of cohesion perhaps.

06:41However, it's been a match that's really lacked a lot of quality.

06:50Barring moments such as this as we're just seeing the replay of the goal by Romero.

06:55For now, it's a clean sheet for Monagas and for Raul Olivares.

07:01Well, we spoke too soon.

07:07That's a consolation goal for...

07:14And the number three was a good yard offside.

07:17Decent head up.

07:19All the same, but it won't count.

07:22Well, that penalty drew them back on level terms.

07:25But all to play for there in Lima on Wednesday night.

07:31As Gallardo's just clipped there by Villacava.

07:39Yellow card.

07:45It's lucky it wasn't the prestige of being involved in South America's number one club competition.

07:51Soria is winding up to take this.

07:54It's a brilliant save from Olivares.

07:57Here's this replay. Fabulously hit.

08:00I do feel a little bit more height on it.

08:04Would have put it out of Olivares' reach.

08:09Of normal time left.

08:12Monagas of Venezuela have booked their place in the next round.

08:20A bit of a yellow card for Romero.

08:22You can hear this reaction to know about Defensores' evening of normal time left.

08:33Monagas of Venezuela have booked their place in the next round.

08:41Monagas of Venezuela have booked their place in the next round.

08:51A bit of a yellow card for Romero.

08:53You can hear this reaction to know about Defensores' evening.

09:04That was on imagination, that spark.

09:07Wunsch is looking to make something happen.

09:17Category of Golazo.

09:32That is the end of things here in Montevideo.

09:38And the match is over, ladies and gentlemen.

09:4245 minutes in the first half decided practically everything.

09:47Because in the last 45, Defensores Sporting, they were not able to respond.

09:54They were not able to score in front of their own fans.

09:59And take a look at this.

10:01The supporters, they are angry. They are not happy.

10:05They have just been eliminated from the Conmebol Libertadores.
