00:00.
00:28On a very pleasant night in Chile, it is Palestino and Cruzeiro, match day number three here in Group E at the Conmebol Sudamericana.
00:40Neither team playing their best football at the moment, and in particular, Cruzeiro really struggling.
00:48Trying to find a point here in this continental event. Here's Barbosa with some space. He's going to cross it in front.
00:55A save is made on the rebound. Another blocked shot. A second block inside the six-yard box.
01:03This was the chance earlier. And for Cruzeiro, it was Romero breaking in.
01:15He had some outstanding opportunities here, even after that initial first shot.
01:23And this one from Suarez also blocked. He got it back.
01:27This one looked like it was headed to the corner as well.
01:31No matter what happens tonight, they'll be in sole possession in first place.
01:35As we go into match day four.
01:37As this shot is headed towards the corner. Rebound. Barbosa charging.
01:41And it's eventually covered up by Sebastian Perez.
01:47Perez had to really extend for it.
01:49And the shot from Wallace Souza.
01:53It was kind of blocked on it. It was curling away from it.
01:56Neat support though.
01:57Romero turning. And Gabby on the rebound. Couldn't get a foot on it.
02:03The keeper is out. Perez.
02:05Now scampering back to his goal.
02:07As that one is curled just wide by Rodrigo Santos de Souza.
02:17Maribel looks to get the return pass.
02:19It's floated over the top. Bouncing ball saved by Ramos.
02:23It's a good effort by Joe Abrego.
02:26His first involvement of any significance.
02:29Oh, that was close to being off sides there.
02:40Floated in.
02:43And then the Bally deflected.
02:45And it's in for the opening goal.
02:47Palestino against the run of play.
02:50Have taken the lead.
02:51Through Jonathan Benitez.
02:53Who gets his first goal of the competition.
03:04Second shot on goal.
03:06For Palestino.
03:08But they catch a break here.
03:10The one-timer.
03:12Just takes a deflection with.
03:13Ramos leaning the wrong way in goal.
03:18Nothing he could do about it.
03:20And Palestino.
03:22Strike first here at home.
03:30Time that was indicated.
03:32And now that is the end of the first half from here in Coquimbo, Chile.
03:37Coquimbo, Chile.
03:39Cruzeiro.
03:40Ahead on shots and possession.
03:42But behind on the scoreboard.
03:44As Jonathan Benitez gets the only goal in the 40th minute.
03:54Palestino leading Cruzeiro as the second half commences here in Coquimbo, Chile.
03:59Palestino in search of their second win in the group phase to maintain sole possession of second place in Group E.
04:08Cruzeiro meantime.
04:10Palestino.
04:11Winners of two of their last three.
04:12But only two wins in the last seven in all competitions.
04:16Oh, here's a terrific chance for Leon.
04:18And he flicks it just wide.
04:22To make it 2-0.
04:24And just missing wide.
04:26Terrific ball.
04:28Perfect pace.
04:29Curling right into the path of the striker.
04:33Oh, he'd love to have another chance at that.
04:36He could have flicked it over.
04:37Space on that left-hand side.
04:40The overlapping run.
04:41It'll be cut back.
04:44Chipped softly towards the back post.
04:45And headed right to Ramos.
04:48Maribel couldn't get a lot on that header.
04:55On the spin.
04:57Barbosa.
04:58And the save is made on the rebound.
05:00The header couldn't get directed on goal.
05:04And now they might have some space to work with here.
05:06Gabby.
05:07Play it off to the wing.
05:08And now here comes Oliveira and Akar.
05:18Crossed in towards that back post.
05:20The header.
05:21Into the corner.
05:22They score.
05:24The tying goal comes late.
05:26But Cruzeiro finally break through.
05:30In the last ten minutes of the match,
05:33the Brazilians are on the board here in Chile.
05:36The second half sub gets the goal on the header.
05:48Good cross here.
05:49He elevates over his marker.
05:51And just aims it towards that far corner.
05:54Really well executed.
05:55And Cruzeiro.
06:02So off in this season.
06:04Not just in continental football,
06:05but domestically and in all competitions.
06:12Headed on.
06:13And Ramos can't keep it out.
06:14Can't keep it out.
06:15Palestino are back in front.
06:30Just flicked on in the direction of the goal.
06:32Ramos should have done better there.
06:33He was leaning the other way though.
06:36It was kind of one foot behind the line.
06:39Not in a great position.
06:41I don't even know who had gotten a touch there.
06:46Initially, it was Arias who tried to bend over to get his head on it.
06:50Not sure he got a touch or not.
06:52White shirts racing forward.
06:55But Maribel lost it.
06:56A lot of space opening up in the middle of the pitch now.
07:04And it's going to draw a card.
07:15Free kick for Cruzeiro.
07:21And Maribel, he shoots a yellow card.
07:23And it is over in Coquimbo, Chile.
07:45Palestino solidify their spot in sole possession of second place in Group E.
07:51They win.
