00:12traditional kit there's white shirts black shorts with the lack of supporters Barcelona will feel

00:21that they're on a level playing field here somewhat don't have the resources of the Argentines

00:30but may feel that they can come here and take at least a point

00:47Stan you the nice little bit or down the center is smothered on Ferris saw it coming

00:57a half L Klaus has reached for his Western already Collegio and Co want the ball straight

01:03storm immediately did look a fair challenge

01:09and you have to say that's the moment it's a loose ball in the end

01:14oh you see came in spilt it certainly contact made

01:20so don't touch the line and use his steps forward the keeper guesses right and turns it wide it got

01:34across very very quickly

01:41and he's got one foot on the line and he gets across the turn it wide

01:46kept it low you see we are will be disappointing for the number 15 to say the very least

02:01a couple of players down

02:11it's just knocked inside the area looking for Collegio who gets his volley in

02:17sales came to light at uh Tigre a couple of seasons ago had chances to uh maybe head to europe

02:26was with Inter Milan very early on in his career chose that river players around with e for uh river

02:33plates can they conjure up here

02:38decent ball inside the area it's straight up the keeper in the end from Collegio

02:45who gets the first touch

02:49wins it back gets it back nice to set river on

02:53the way now chance here down the center that's all credit to the keeper spread himself exceptionally well

03:01fine little move

03:04that's antoine starting it really

03:08no offside

03:12that's twice now the keeper has thwarted the number 15.

03:23river can uh conjure up it's loose inside the area keeper game sprawling for it

03:30as both sides uh claim it

03:34cause problems inside the area a keeper again another brave stop

03:41can't clear the lines here barcelona they were trying to turn the screw it's a wonderful ball forward

03:46again the keeper quickly off his line

03:48on terras to the rescue you see uh in the end

03:53where the clearance and the whistle goes

03:57montiel is on site

04:01doesn't really have that light in place though

04:05and again

04:07first of all one of those little flashes

04:09montiel makes the run takes the defenders away the shooting opportunity is there and it's turned down

04:17montiel right in front of goal

04:21flag and the whistle has gone

04:25pick away through

04:26again river choosing to go down the middle again they're picking those passes out

04:40angle is tight no power from a teenager cause a few problems

04:45that's the opportunity uh three or four minutes ago

04:56got there in slightly uh prematurely afel claus of brazil brings this first half to an end

05:06where it is scholars between river plates and uh barcelona

05:15and this is the half time river plate and barcelona in an empty

05:22monumental stadium they are tied without goals so we'll be going scoreless to the halftime but

05:32we'll be taking a quick break but we're coming back with so much more only here on being sports

05:45in a traditional white shirts with that band across the chest black shorts

05:53and this second half underway against ecuador's barcelona

05:57both sides winning their opener in this group last week wanting to build on that

06:14cumulus ball forward

06:16maximeza

06:20couldn't really make proper contact this one just uh prodded back

06:25i see it to his keeper

06:28that's been the story of uh barcelona in the first 45

06:32putting it forward but no takers

06:35afael claus brings out the first yellow of the night

06:46that's done for himself perhaps rightly so but he's been uh

06:51has some good touches as river carmen is struck and contrast and the header is stopped

07:00a little bit sloppy from barcelona on two occasions

07:03you see uh hit it with enough power that's a short

07:15i say the wall is too close

07:18edging ever closer it's a teenager who sent it in and it's easy for the keeper

07:28rounds the ball

07:29and uh the coach castillo

07:35on a player with the same name

07:47something which uh his side have not done

07:49going to go for a return chance here for rivers blazed over

08:03build up was excellent the number 11 at the heart of things the changes

08:12wonderful interchange to set up the chance

08:15great touch from meza

08:22but it sails over

08:31into castanio space is just opening up some nice thought work again but the finish

08:37was rushed i'm a teenager

08:45movement out from defense from a river plate

08:49movement to create that space and some awareness

08:52switch to the left when uh brian castillo came off the bench

09:00they've done that too many times tonight

09:02they'll get uh as a reward

09:05a man i just mentioned castillo card for uh

09:10stanley

09:17first of the night for the uh home side

09:24that was sloppy was that a deliberate handball what's gonna merit

09:36second yellow of the night for a river man maybe just some uh frustrations really

09:40around quarter see it there maybe from this angle

09:47completely

09:51our ball over target can't force his way through chases it and that's just going to be a gift the barcelona

09:59and no chance of getting the ball

10:09clearly me

10:13brought the end to the first half prematurely does the end of the second as well

10:18and it finishes nil nil here between uh river plate and

10:22barcelona so the match is over and river plate was not able to score in this match against barcelona

10:32so even when these two sides will get to one point of course some critics and some

10:38um situations are not being very positive for river plate we have to say it let's see what happened

10:49in the rest of this rev stage it's time to thank you and keep watching stay tuned you're watching me
