00:00River trying to get the rap together early on, which could be bad news for Libertad.

00:18This ball has swung inside the area.

00:20I say the old first 15 minutes is very important.

00:30Nacho Fernandes, good game, good second half last week.

00:39A little shove, maybe our referee responding out of their own half.

00:44Fernandes, no way through.

00:49River trying to turn the screw, looking for that early goal here, and it's wasting an end to the body.

00:55Thankful keeper, but early pressure from the Argentines.

01:05And this is Juan Ramirez on that occasion.

01:14A little bit of water on the surface.

01:21And that's soft.

01:23Our referee had a very good goal.

01:25Montiel has made the run, not used so far.

01:28Nacho Fernandes picks him out.

01:31Again, lifted inside the area.

01:34Again, Libertad struggled to get it clear.

01:38The camouflage kit of Libertad.

01:41Run and run.

01:45Again, the pullback.

01:47Again, the little layoff.

01:48And a outside-of-the-boot shot from Collegium.

01:52And the River fans in the Monumental.

01:57Yet to find a way through, though, to Martin Silva.

02:02As they post this one in the air.

02:04Nine minutes on the clock.

02:05Oh, quick thinking from River.

02:09As it whizzes across the area, but maybe too much zip on it.

02:13Maybe a little bit more confidence now.

02:16Ramirez.

02:18It's got a lot to aim for.

02:20It's not a down chance here.

02:22And the keeper's off his line.

02:23It's turned away.

02:24Well, suddenly, Libertad have come out of a shell and asking questions.

02:30Uber Fernandes with the effort on goal.

02:34And River Plate, fortunate not to be a goal down.

02:37Very nice build-up.

02:41Ramirez with a delivery.

02:42Nice little nod down.

02:44Great first touch from Fernandes.

02:47Something to think about.

02:52Four hands in the night-time score.

02:56Now a break down the centre.

02:58But all the white shirts are to the right.

03:01Referee takes a look.

03:02Brings out the first card of the night and is completely surrounded by camouflage shirts.

03:18Your seat brought down.

03:24Look at its strike up.

03:28Destructions for a match of Fernandes.

03:31Let's see what the Colombian can do here as he sends it goal bound.

03:35And Martin Silva was stretching.

03:37He claims the corner.

03:42Haven't quite got them going the same way they did there last week.

03:48After putting Libertad under the cosh early on.

03:51Libertad has certainly grown in confidence.

03:53Might be a card here for River and Galopo.

03:58Go away.

04:00Bye!

04:01Bye!

04:04Uruguayan official.

04:06Neither challenge.

04:08Really menacing.

04:11But both a little bit clumsy.

04:18Some good defending required by Libertad.

04:20Danger not get over.

04:22As it's pulled across the area.

04:23still shirts in and silver down to deny nacho fernandez on that occasion

04:34intero to nacho fernandez on the side from paraguay than you saw last week

04:40ramirez far post that doesn't reach anybody in green but moving forward

04:48acuña great angle delivery misses three white and red shots

04:58afroquintero tries to trick his way through one way than the other let's flies off targets

05:05wonderful delivery from acuña

05:11guanfa quintero trying to get away from jimenez but uh his shot sails wide of the upright

05:22blanco underneath it harpo away

05:27peres stands his ground well and given away too cheaply by quintero

05:34and it's one of his major problems

05:42a bit of space that knock it down the center

05:45poligio's there

05:46and off the woodwork and then into the back of the letters river take the lead

05:51can you see there to pounce on that loose ball and finally the pressure pains off for river plates

06:13great control from the number 21 acuni on the outside of the left boot poligio took it down well enough

06:19poligio took it down well enough off the crossbar and you see the quickest to react the only question mark

06:28is whether poligio was on side

06:33river won it back intero's ball have they got the pace down the center for a second it stumbles forward

06:40silver's there on the edge of the area and the follow-up shot is dinks in

06:46in oligio bursting forward never really had control it was a brave stop from silver

07:01no way through for nathan fernandez a libertad see a few spaces here but it's a ballooned shot

07:14and it's a straight ball easy for armani

07:24oh franco

07:26pintero

07:28poligio on the far side

07:33franco beaten to it

07:34fiera 189 caposana 185 the obvious target men they've got the height libertad can they

07:46create some problems here they can they get the equalizer from the header

07:51batman from the other man and they've got the level of player of course they've got the lot from the

07:54on the left field so it's going to be a lot to be a lot of good down first they've got the

08:09Yeah, River Tak getting the equalizers, a thumping header.

08:16Wonderful ball inside the area, a very static back line for River Plate.

08:24One for Quintero Azzera with a set piece.

08:31No real height out there for River Plate.

08:37It's a very easy way on that occasion.

08:40River getting a soft free kick in their favor.

08:47What can Quintero do?

08:50It's a deaf little touch but no trouble for Martin Silva.

08:59Quintero has been in the air, Franco behind the back line.

09:02Chancet for Libertà for number two but it sails harmlessly wide.

09:07Again, it's a static back line for River.

09:10Finally in the back of the net, they've got taller outfield players.

09:13Libertà again, it's a dangerous crossing.

09:15Again, River in trouble.

09:18They need to get it clear, they can't dither.

09:21And there's going to be a card as it flies wide.

09:25And on that carding, our referee brings this first half to an end.

09:30It's fairly subdued in the monument out.

09:33All over the top.

09:49Dinkton across the area, River Plate on the back foot here.

09:53River rattled.

09:55Once again, that ball stabbed forward.

09:58Aguileva's there.

09:59Half volley not hit.

10:00Franco couldn't get hold of it.

10:02Quintero stabs it through.

10:06Both sides clean it.

10:08It's gone River's way.

10:11River's fans in fine voice tonight.

10:14The first post.

10:17Not clear.

10:18Now a break on here.

10:20Fernandes is on his own, looking round for support.

10:24Fernandes may go alone.

10:26Now Fernandes will let fly, but it's easy in the end for Armani.

10:29It's the second yellow card.

10:31River will be down to ten.

10:35And he's in trouble.

10:37He's in trouble here.

10:39River are in trouble.

10:45Is this going to be one of the major upsets?

10:50In this year's Libertad.

10:52River down a man at home.

10:54Libertad.

10:55Certainly up for it in the second half.

10:57Teasing delivery.

10:59Will hassle wait.

11:01It's loose.

11:02Armani makes a stop.

11:14And they played well tonight.

11:16The side from Paraguay.

11:17Do have height.

11:18More height than that river.

11:20River certainly have the squad and the ability.

11:21Can they find a second here?

11:22The answer on that occasion is no.

11:23Galaza.

11:24Slip forward for Nacho Fernandes now.

11:25Can they pick out a teammate?

11:26Balls it across the air in the header.

11:28River. River certainly have the squad and the ability. Can they find a second here? The answer

11:37on that occasion is no. Now Laza. Slip forward for Nacho Fernandez. Now can he pick out a teammate?

11:51Balls it across the air and they had a well off target who gave his side the

12:01lead with a header. Unable to steer the ball into the back of the net for a second

12:10time.

12:16Nacho Fernandez.

12:21That's a better ball in but on that occasion too close to Martin Silva.

12:28There he goes. Glory is waiting.

12:42And they are persistent in the turn. Now there's a break on here. Chance for glory.

12:49Perhaps it goes wide. The chance is there.

12:54Now that they hope in on goal. Maybe snatched at it just that little bit too quickly.

13:01Maybe snatched at it just that little bit too quickly.

13:08The opportunity.

13:10Now Borja. Can't get the ball from under his seat. River still pressed.

13:17Go lost his efforts. And Silva spills it.

13:19And Silva spills it.

13:26Sanabria long way out. Turn it away. Seemed to the guy a mile wide and just

13:33dipped in. Franco O'Malley had to be sure. Out there for River Plate.

13:35Nacho Fernandez does well.

13:42Brods it four goes down. Appeals to the referee who's not interested.

13:49Menes. All down the centre. And tipped away.

13:56Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

14:01There's no way out there for River Plate.

14:04Another big ball.

14:05That's it.

14:06Can't get the ball in there for the World Cup.

14:09It's not good.

14:10Mines all down the centre and tipped away Armani stretching again

14:24River have struggled in the air all night

14:31eyes on our referee who brings this tie to an end and we go to penalties

14:40well let's see if it's true tonight it's going to be a very long run up from

14:47Nacho Fernandes and he finds the back of the net

14:55sends Martin Silva and I think it's been brought on to do this job and can he

15:01fulfil it oh it's off the woodwork off the uprights maybe too leisurely

15:10and River Plate

15:16have the edge from the pound

15:20can they make it 2-0 to River Plate

15:24all that stuff to stop sends it into the back of the net now River in control here

15:30short run up and flies in and Leviton are off the mark

15:44going up to step forward it's saved

15:56now Silva

15:59guesses right

16:00and it's a long lonely walk back

16:08well hit with power and hit with venom

16:13but a top class save from Martin Silva

16:16over of both

16:20very central steps forward puts it wide just not good enough

16:27the players who've come off the bench
