00:00And we're underway, it's all or nothing for these two.
00:06Loser goes home, only a win will do.
00:09As Ecuador comes to a standstill to watch Independiente del Valle and
00:13Barcelona in the Comebol Copa Libertadores.
00:16I'm your commentator Ewan Marshall,
00:18I'm delighted to have you along for this massive all Ecuadorian clash.
00:23All at stake here between these two sides.
00:26The top two in Ecuador at the moment.
00:30Expect a thrilling game.
00:36As both sides know, the only way through to the next round of the Libertadores is with a win.
00:41Here's Lor, puts inside.
00:45What can he do here? Here's Alcibar.
00:47Threat from distance, scores for himself.
00:49It's blocked, just cleared, just cleared by Vallecia.
00:52See Claudio Spinelli, the Argentinian forward for Alcibar.
01:03Mendes, backed Alcibar.
01:06Can he have a strike?
01:07He will.
01:08Just passed the post.
01:09Didn't get the best connection on that.
01:12It's his second shot on goal already.
01:18Zarate.
01:20Oyola has just stolen it right from his feet.
01:23Over to Corozzo, chance for the header!
01:24He really has to do better there, Corozzo.
01:29He got away from his man.
01:32Great work from Oyola there.
01:33Really surprising.
01:34Zarate, the centre-back, catching him in possession.
01:37Santa Maria is absolutely nowhere near Corozzo.
01:41Really poor marking from Independiente Del Valle.
01:47This distance, early on.
01:51We might expect Cazares to go for a goal here.
01:54And he does.
01:54Aroa Barena beats it away.
02:00As we see Cazares, they're just trying to catch Aroa Barena unawares.
02:06It's just too close to him.
02:10The Uruguayan goalkeeper able to beat that away.
02:14Get the better of him, but manages to come away with a throw in here.
02:17In a good position.
02:19Here's Oyola.
02:22What can he do?
02:23Just a miscommunication.
02:24Falls to Caicedo!
02:25It's in the back of the net!
02:27What a finish from Felipe Caicedo!
02:33The killer, Felipe Caicedo.
02:36A surprise inclusion in the starting 11.
02:39But you see exactly why he's in the team.
02:41What a finish!
02:47Just falls to him, that loose ball.
02:48And that is superb technique from Felipe Caicedo.
02:52On the turn, manages to find the top corner.
02:58That kind of technique and talent.
03:00Even at his age now, 36 years old, you don't forget how to do that.
03:09That is pure talent.
03:11What a finish from Felipe Caicedo.
03:14Advantage Barcelona.
03:16Imagine he'll just hang this one up for the forwards.
03:24And there's a good ball.
03:25The header's there!
03:26It's just past the post from Schunke.
03:31Turn that header towards goal.
03:33So unlucky that that doesn't sneak in at the far post.
03:42It's captain against captain there.
03:44Arriaga couldn't get anywhere near Schunke.
03:46To tonight's captain, Schunke.
03:52As Cazares having to come deep there, trying to chip that one over the top.
03:54Here's Lorde, the left-back.
03:56Excellent run from him!
03:57Goes for the shot on goal!
03:58Well saved by Oroba Arena!
04:00A real problem with Cazares' play so far tonight.
04:03He's got lovely touches, a great range of passing.
04:06But the execution of these passes just hasn't really been 100% so far
04:11from the midfielder.
04:12And Independiente, Delvani really need him to be on his game.
04:20See that excellent ball over the top.
04:23Great touch from Lohr.
04:24It looks like it's going to be the youngster, Patrick Mercado.
04:33It's a great strike!
04:34It's off the bar!
04:36Wonderful hit from the youngster.
04:39That came right off the bar.
04:40It's an excellent strike from Patrick Mercado.
04:45Took a deflection off the wall there.
04:48There's half-time.
04:50There was a quick VAR check for a potential penalty, but nothing doing.
04:54So there we go.
04:56Half-time here.
04:57Independiente, Delvani 0, Barcelona 1.
05:00That stunning finish from Felipe Caicedo is the difference between the two sides.
05:051-1.
05:06It stays like that.
05:08Both of these sides will be going out.
05:14There's to be no changes from either side.
05:16It's Barcelona look to get an opening early on here.
05:25Opens up a little bit for Caraballi.
05:27Ships that to the far post, looking for Corozzo.
05:29They've been able to get it clear.
05:33Cazares looking for it.
05:35Hoyos.
05:36Mendes.
05:37Cazares.
05:46Mercado's cross.
05:48Looks for Cazares.
05:49Hits that first time!
05:50That's an excellent save by the goalkeeper.
05:55Service whatsoever.
05:57Get a look at that angle from behind the goal.
05:59It's a really great strike from Cazares.
06:02Catches that so well.
06:03Takes a little bit of a touch of Leon.
06:10Here's Cazares.
06:12Ibarra.
06:14Mercado tries to turn.
06:17Arroyo getting his foot in there.
06:20Still up.
06:21Mercado goes for the shot himself!
06:22What a goal!
06:25Unbelievable strike!
06:26That was out of nothing there from Patry Mercado.
06:29Mercado.
06:31Leveling up the scores for the home side.
06:35It looked like he was going to go down for a free kick.
06:39Got back up.
06:41Got a little glimpse of goal.
06:42And that is a stunning strike.
06:44Right into the far post.
06:46It takes a bit of a deflection there.
06:47You wonder if that might have taken it away from Aroa Barena.
06:55So on the course for the strike, tried to go into the wall there.
06:59Here's Ibarra in some space on the right.
07:03He's been important since coming on.
07:04He's going to go for a strike himself.
07:06And it's in the back of the net!
07:08Wonderful finish from Renato Ibarra!
07:11Once again Aroa Barena beaten at that corner.
07:16Independiente Del Valle with two stunning strikes are in front.
07:22As we were just saying, when Ibarra got in possession,
07:25he's had such an impact on the game since coming on.
07:28Sight of goal.
07:29Left foot.
07:30That's unstoppable.
07:32Excellent strike from Ibarra.
07:36Barcelona are shell-shocked here.
07:38Actually no, Mercado is not back on his feet.
07:49He's still down there in his own half.
07:52Off camera and the yellow card, as we said.
07:56Smart play from Mercado.
07:57Just chips that forward.
08:02And then gets levelled.
08:03Cuts that back at cross goal.
08:05Almost felt it.
08:06Mercado, Leonay Souza just there in the nick of time.
08:10Opens up for Sonosa though.
08:11Here's Mercado.
08:13Goes for another shot!
08:15Still up in the air.
08:17Bit of volleyball stuff in Aroa Barena now.
08:22See that attempt there from Patri Mercado.
08:26It's quite close to Aroa Barena.
08:28Clear by Schoenke.
08:35Space now for Ibarra.
08:36He's through on goal.
08:37And he is just going to be brought down.
08:40Cynically there.
08:41By Cortes.
08:43Has already had a yellow card.
08:46Already booked Chala.
08:48And there was really no doubt that that was going to happen.
08:50Ibarra was through on goal.
08:52He had to be brought down basically.
08:54Both of these teams are eliminated from the Copa Libertadores.
08:58Regardless of what happens in these last two minutes.
09:01A real bittersweet outcome for Independiente Del Vani.
09:05Almost an equalizer there.
09:07Late on for Gomez.
09:09Neither of these sides will continue in the Copa Libertadores.
09:14There it is.
09:15Independiente Del Vani two.
09:18Barcelona one.
09:20I wouldn't want to be
09:23the person who lets the players know.
09:25that even with Independiente Del Vani's result they will be eliminated.
09:32But an excellent game of football here in the Copa Libertadores.
09:38Felipe Caicedo got us off the mark at 24 minutes in the first half.
09:41And then a five minute salvo.
09:43Patria Mercado and Renato Ibarra.
