00:00This is the Tricolor against the Scarlet, Brazil versus Colombia.
00:14We're underway in Salvador, Brazil. Bahia versus America de Cali.
00:24Luciano Jouba, left back.
00:26Nice move, great opening for Bahia.
00:29Some excellent defending.
00:38There.
00:39And it's not a natural position, is it, for the hand?
00:48No penalty, however, it's a corner kick.
00:57And it's not a natural position, is it, for the hand?
01:00No penalty, however, it's a corner kick.
01:06Nesta.
01:15Can't get the cross in.
01:16Another opportunity here.
01:18Goes for goal himself.
01:19Attack's still on.
01:28In the end, it's a snapshot, isn't it?
01:31Tightly scuffed.
01:32And the Argentine coach of Fortaleza, leaving after a four-year stint.
01:45Astonishing record now that 80% of teams in Brazil have changed coaches.
01:49There's a shot on goal.
01:50There's a shot on goal.
01:51Goes over Soto's bar.
01:54A to the first yellow card in the game.
01:57And the first yellow card of the game.
01:58Castillo who is now booked.
02:03the fouls there, it's going to be the first yellow card of the game, Castillo who is now
02:11booked, but has hurt himself in the process.
02:19And the referee will bring this first half to an end, Ili Beniente then take that late
02:28lead.
02:29And it's Independiente del Valle, the team, taking the lead in the 45th minute plus three
02:37Manteu Caravajal scored the first goal of this match, let's go to a break, Independiente
02:42del Valle is winning 1-0, Uber Vasco da Gama.
02:54Independiente del Valle leading Vasco by one goal to nil.
03:02Vasco down to ten for most of that first half.
03:08It's Christian Tovar who moves over to right back, Daniel Bocanegre in the middle, and Bocanegre is going to struggle to get here, and so is Tovar, and it's just wide.
03:30Excellent defending by Christian Tovar.
03:36This is the play, and it's the first passage of play like that we've seen from Bahia in this match.
03:52An opening there, behind Marcos Mina, the left back of America.
03:59Pulga.
04:00No Pulga.
04:02Ribera finds Ademir.
04:15Still Ademir, he goes for a shot, hits the target.
04:20Oh, and it's an error that could be costly.
04:35Zuba, lovely play from Bahia.
04:38That's better.
04:39Snapshot by him, Lucio Araujo.
04:47Luciano Zuba.
04:49Caio Alessandro.
04:51Lovely clip pass.
04:53Great save by Soto.
04:56Desperately close for Bahia to get the first.
04:58Neverton Rivero.
05:00We've seen the possession statistics for the second half, but the first for over 70% of possession
05:09for the home team, and the second half has been very similar indeed.
05:15Bocanegre's mistake gives the opportunity to attack.
05:19It's a good-looking ball.
05:20It's off the post.
05:22Here's the mistake.
05:24Montenegro, Bocanegre, I should say, fails to find Pestaña.
05:29It's Pulga with the cross.
05:33And it's Kaiki on the far post.
05:44Michelle Araujo back to Zuba.
05:47Opening here for Kaiki, no-one can control the ball, it's Ademir.
05:51And it's gonna boil over.
06:06There you go.
06:09There you see the...
06:10It's not the case here.
06:16Kaibadilla.
06:18Is he getting an elbow from Everton Rivero?
06:22Soto furies.
06:24The captains square up to each other.
06:27Kaibadilla on the edge of the area definitely raises his elbow there to Jose Kaibadilla.
06:35So we've had two important VAR interventions in this game at the very beginning of the match for a penalty check.
06:48And now as we come up to the 90-minute mark.
06:50And it's Everton Rivero who's looking as well.
06:57He looks where Kaibadilla is.
06:59And the verdict is a red card for Everton Rivero, a yellow card for Soto, a yellow card for the defender Jim Pestaña, a yellow card for Mina.
07:21Daniel Bocanegra here, who is something of a legend when it comes to set pieces.
07:30Bocanegra straight into the arms of Marcos Felipe.
07:35As you said, it's not been a vintage match of football.
07:39But America de Cali from Colombia have certainly got the result they came here to get.
07:45Which is a clean sheet and the opportunity to go back home and in a week's time use that home advantage to try and win.
