00:00In our traditional introduction, it's the Academy versus the Coleman.
00:12Peñarol, Racing against Peñarol, Argentina against Peñarol.
00:18Have us underway at the Cilindro in Ava-Janeiro, Argentina.
00:22It's Racing versus Peñarol, both in their traditional home strips.
00:27Racing in the blue and white, very similar to the Argentina shirt.
00:31Peñarol in their yellow and black striped shirts.
00:39Rojas.
00:45There's a high foot there, and...
00:51Roldan reaches for the yellow card.
00:57A full-back can have no...
01:09He started out his career at San Lorenzo in Argentina.
01:15There's an opening here. It's Martinez's real opportunity straight at Cortes.
01:22Jesus Trinidad misses out, you wonder whether it would have counted, but certainly that wouldn't have been on Martinez's mind when he was in that.
01:33Rojas will take this, and Andra walks away.
01:40Rojas, clear header, it's the second on the night, and it's a first goal in a wrestling shirt for Marcos Rojo.
01:47Rojas juniors, and this time it's he who is all alone in the area, and questions over Penirol's marking, credit to Racing for the delivery from Rojas, the movement in the area, and then the finish from Rojo.
02:09As we mentioned, hasn't started a match since May, there will be a check, this goal review.
02:24There's certainly a shove there, isn't there, from Rojo, and that is exactly what has been protested by Penirol, and what has led to that goal being overturned.
02:42Rojas, clever play on the inside left channel, just inside the area.
02:51Now there's an opening perhaps here for Penirol and Martirena.
02:56Look at this, me.
02:59Looking for the right-back.
03:00Talks about the individual duels, certainly one Sosa, Ignacio Sosa.
03:09You'll see here being fouled by Martirena, and certainly one of the players, he's really...
03:14He'll take this free kick.
03:17Goes to test, and he has from that kind of range.
03:21Spectacular.
03:22Shot on goal.
03:37Time-wasting.
03:45Extra minute.
03:47Time was added on, but that is the end of what has been an enthralling
03:51first half of football between Racing Club of Argentina and Penirol of Montevideo.
04:02We have 45 minutes of football to decide who will stay alive in this year's Libertadores
04:07and progress to the quarter-finals and take on Vélez Sarsfield of Argentina.
04:12It's 1-1 between Racing of Argentina.
04:15Sosa wants it taken quickly, wants a free header, and Cortes is forced to just tip that
04:24over his bar.
04:25Durant puts it back looking for Sosa.
04:27Great work on the edge of the box by the number five.
04:29The highest paid.
04:35It's close to leaving the club, but Penirol made an extraordinary financial commitment
04:39as Rojas brings it in.
04:40Great outponing for Racing, and it should have been in the back of the net.
04:43Can't get the direction on it.
04:48It's a great touch by the number 77 for Rojas.
04:52He then latches onto, and he just miscued that header.
04:55That's it.
04:59So, Vera does well to beat Pardo to that ball, and...
05:18Well, I'm not interested in any protest from Franco Pardo for that challenge there.
05:29He joins his right back.
05:38Martirena in the book.
05:39It's interesting to see how they reshape Penirol with this change.
05:47There's not an obvious substitution by any stretch of the imagination.
05:55They will go through to the quarter-finals.
05:56He finds space for Sosa, who's in space.
06:04It's Sosa.
06:05Should have done better.
06:08Clash with Penirol.
06:08Nardoni forces Salari to the byline.
06:13He does well to keep it in play.
06:15Martirena now.
06:15And it takes a deflection.
06:20Is that a penalty?
06:21Here's the ball from Martirena.
06:31Balboa wanted a handball there.
06:33It's a parry by Cortes, who, you can see here, harms that ball away.
06:45And there's no foul.
06:49It's going from Deportivo Alaves in Spain.
06:52We've spent one season.
06:59Now, here's space for Duven Bergara.
07:01Bergara goes for goal himself.
07:05Martinez goes down, and it's a penalty kick.
07:09Well, Penirol will remonstrate with Roldan.
07:11Here's the replay.
07:12As Cabrera loses his man, Vergara forces that on a save by Cortes.
07:30It is Emmanuel Gularte.
07:35That foul there on Martirena.
07:39He made history this evening for Racing with his goal in the first half.
07:51Martinez against Cortes.
07:53Martinez does not miss those.
07:57Brilliantly taken penalty by Racing's number nine.
08:01Because this goal from Adrian Martinez takes this match to penalties.
08:11He sends Cortes the wrong way.
08:13It's his 17th goal in international competitions for Racing Club.
08:19Taking him two goals ahead of the legendary Norberto Raffo.
08:24I'll tell you that Rojo has also been...
08:27We won't see how much time will be added on.
08:38We are going to penalties as it stands.
08:40Cabrera does brilliantly.
08:46It's Cabrera against Arias.
08:47It's Cabrera for Penirol.
08:49Puts it wide.
08:51What an opportunity that was.
08:54So nearly produced a moment of genius.
08:58Individual brilliance.
08:59Rojas, seeing if Racing can tie this up.
09:05Martirena with the shot.
09:08Goes right across the face of goal.
09:22In fact, when we see it there, desperately unlucky Martinez
09:25to not find the back of the net.
09:29This is danger.
09:33Arezzo forces the save from Arias.
09:37Sosa.
09:38The attack's still on for Penirol.
09:42It's another save from Arias.
09:48Gabriel here.
09:49Arias just made a double save for his side.
09:55What were real openings for Penirol.
10:01He will not stay in goal, however, for the shootout.
10:06Facundo Cambesses then.
10:14He's known as the hero of Banfield.
10:16He...
10:19Winger.
10:21Lucas Hernandez, the left back.
10:23And as we mentioned, Leo Fernandes coming on.
10:2830 seconds of time out.
10:29Oh, it's in the back of the net.
10:31It's not going to count.
10:33It's not going to penalties.
10:34It's going to Racing.
10:37Franco Pardo.
10:38More.
10:41With a dramatic winner for the academy.
10:44Books their place in the quarter-finals.
10:51It's another great delivery from Martirena.
10:53And it is as easy as they come.
10:58And as straightforward as a goal you'll see.
11:02Crossed to the far post.
11:03Headed to the back of the net.
11:07Brilliantly taken by the centre-back.
11:09What a match we've had this evening in Ava Janeiro.
11:17And save the penalties in the shootout.
11:21Lines up his wall.
11:22Vergara.
11:27Takes to the floor in that new role that's come into football in recent years.
11:30Leo Fernandes, we're told he's injured.
11:41Straight into the wall.
11:45Surely that's it.
11:46Roldan not taking to his whistle just yet.
11:53Peñarol.
11:54Can they do it?
11:55Can they get a historic, a dramatic finale?
11:59It's a corner kick.
12:04It's going to take us into the eighth minute of time added on.
12:10Which is taken quickly.
12:16And that wraps up what has been a sensational night of Libertadores action.
12:22In Ava Janeiro.
12:24Racing Club of Argentina goes through to the quarter-finals.
12:27They will face Vélez Sarsfield.
12:31After taking the lead for the very first time.
12:36Over two matches in time added on at the return leg.
12:40Diego Aguirre can only look back on what could have been.
12:46Two goals from the hero, Adrian Martinez, the number one, number nine.
12:52He wrote his name in Racing's history books with his brace this evening.
