00:00Make their way out onto the pitch at the Pascual Guerrero in Cali.
00:19And we're underway in Cali for America against Bayer.
00:23Do or die for both sides.
00:25A win means a place in the Commibol Cup.
00:27A loss means no more Continental Football in 2025.
00:32Rascal for Murillo.
00:34Danger cleared.
00:35But he has just really overshot himself there.
00:38But he's gotten away with that one.
00:39Murillo's got a second chance here.
00:41Playing it through to Ramos.
00:42Can he go on the end of this?
00:44Almost an own goal.
00:46And just for Murillo.
00:47It's there!
00:49An empty goal.
00:51And America against Cali are 1-0 up at home.
00:57John Murillo.
00:58We've been talking about him quite a few times in the last five or ten minutes.
01:02He's really been an important presence in this game.
01:04How did Murillo get away with that one there?
01:08Michelle Arroja just let him go through it.
01:10And that is a proper mix-up.
01:13Ramos Mingo just trying to stab that back to his goalkeeper.
01:25And Marcos Felipe didn't know that pass was coming.
01:28He's forced to block it.
01:30And it fell to Murillo.
01:31And really sharp awareness for Murillo just to knock it towards goal.
01:36There's no one in the goal.
01:38There's no chance for Marcos Felipe to get anywhere near that.
01:43And it's America 1-0.
01:46Semihazor Gabriel Raimondi very pleased with that one.
01:53We have another stoppage here at the end of the first half.
01:59But you don't have the best record away.
02:06Just his presence as a threat.
02:08Number 9.
02:09Rascals Cross.
02:10Extended the back post.
02:11And that was so close.
02:12So close.
02:13For America.
02:14Go ahead of Santiago Arias.
02:24Really poor defending from the experienced Colombian right back.
02:29And Tovar has to do better with that one there.
02:33He's facing goal.
02:35He's got away from his marker.
02:37He gets good connect of this Comebol Copa Sudamericana playoff.
02:43As things stand.
02:44America de Cali would be going through to the last 16.
02:47To face Brazilian side Fluminense.
02:50Bahia need to improve for the second either side.
02:55As Maximiliano Ramirez gets us underway for the second half here.
03:0045 minutes to go in this tie.
03:02America de Cali have the advantage.
03:04They're 1-0 up.
03:09And 1-0 up on aggregate.
03:12Dieron Locas recycles possession.
03:14Kylo Deschendro again.
03:15Instantly looking up.
03:17No options forward.
03:18Bringing it back to the defense.
03:21Good through ball from Arias.
03:22Here's Michel Arroyo.
03:24Manages to take it past this man.
03:26Wins the free kick.
03:27I think there'll be a card here for Pestana.
03:31There is a yellow card.
03:33Pestana's back was turned.
03:36It's a clear booking.
03:38Dangerous position there.
03:39Had Michel Arroyo managed to get past his man.
03:42Pestana.
03:43That's perhaps why Iago has been brought on in fact.
03:50Opening up for Mina.
03:51But the shot is mostly harmless.
03:54Wonder if any of those statistics will come into play.
03:58Here's Barrios.
03:59Murillo with a little bit of space here.
04:01Takes his time to turn though.
04:02Opportunity here for America.
04:04That's a lovely strike.
04:06Navarro knew exactly what he was doing.
04:09Enough.
04:10He's given the time to get that shot away.
04:14Marcos.
04:15America may be looking to break here.
04:20That's a speculative pass.
04:21It's made it all his way through to Barrios.
04:23One on one now.
04:24Great save from Marcos Felipe.
04:26A chance out of absolutely nothing from America.
04:31Just see this chance here.
04:33Karaskal.
04:34Lobs it forward.
04:36A big hole in the defense.
04:37But here Ramos Mingo actually does well.
04:39To get across.
04:40Shut down that angle a little bit.
04:42He's had a good game really.
04:44Deputizing it right back.
04:46Here's Kaiji.
04:47What can he do?
04:48Tries to drink in against one man.
04:50He's getting through on goal here.
04:52He's lobbed that over the bar.
04:55Has to get his body over that.
04:57And work.
04:58Jorge Soto.
04:59That's a real chance for Bahia.
05:00Pass from Gianlocas.
05:02Just lifts it over the defense.
05:04And Kaiji.
05:10Not sure what he's trying to do there.
05:17He's a real shining star at the time.
05:20Thought he maybe would have made the jump into that.
05:22Full national team.
05:23There's a bit of.
05:24Incident off the ball there.
05:27Between Luisa Ramos.
05:30And Ramos Mingo.
05:44If he were to come up with it.
05:47Crucial equalizer.
05:48And there is Mosquera.
05:57Another stretcher.
05:58Carrascal.
05:59Looks like he might have controlled that with his arm.
06:01But the referee lets that one slide.
06:03Carrascal.
06:04Continuing down.
06:05And gets hacked down there by Kaiji.
06:07And Arias.
06:09An act of frustration.
06:11Hits the ball off of Carrascal.
06:13They were really one of Colombia's biggest clubs.
06:16For the 80s and the 90s.
06:19Still very popular.
06:20But through a really bleak period.
06:22That's a second goal.
06:24For America.
06:25And that's the tie over.
06:26It's the substitute.
06:27Garces.
06:28Bahia just not paying attention.
06:32The throwing goes straight into the box.
06:34And Garces heads that into the corner.
06:36It was a silly free kick to give away in the first place.
06:46Carrascal just chips it into the box.
06:49And Iago hardly tries to compete for that.
06:54Eight minutes.
06:55Time added on.
06:56And Lupomi.
06:57Happily conceding the free kick there.
07:01And.
07:02That's it.
07:03Maximiliano Ramirez calls an end to this one.
07:05And the Pasquale Guerrero absolutely explodes in Cali.
07:09They've won this one.
07:252-0 on the night.
07:262-0 on aggregate.
07:27Goals from John Murillo and Johan Garces.
07:30America de Cali two.
07:32Bayanel.
07:34A superb result for America in front of their own fans.
07:46You can see just how much it means to them.
