00:00They've already defeated Al Ali, the team from Saudi Arabia, and now there's one spot left in the next round, in the semi-final, will it be Cruz Azul or?
00:25So finally underway, Cruz Azul of Mexico.
00:30Against Flamengo from Brazil, two capital clubs, looking to put a bit of a, skipping their step, Sanchez with his hand up at the back post, but it's fired in at the near post, the first real opportunity for Carlos Rotondi, goes wide.
00:50He's looked the most threatening player on the pitch, maybe not picking the best option, and you see who was waiting.
01:06Gabriel Fernandes, one who wanted a square ball for a tap-in.
01:15Well that's one in a very dangerous position, first sign of Flamengo's number 10, and it now runs for Samuel Lino.
01:23For Samuel Lino.
01:30Lino, happy to just have, gloves on ball.
01:35First chance to see, Georgian de Arasqueta.
01:38With Wine International, oh that's a terrible mistake, and it's the opening goal after a disaster for Cruz Azul.
01:47Giorgian de Arasqueta, steals in, to break the Mexican hearts, and give Flamengo an early advantage.
02:02Well it has been non-stop celebrating, for the Brazilian side, is there another trophy in the offing?
02:21Well they've been brave to play out from the back, but when it goes wrong, it is an absolute disaster.
02:28Gonzalo POV did not look where he was playing it, it was never reaching Tita, because de Arasqueta was right in the middle.
02:42He had the presence of mind to skip round Goudinho, and make it a simple tap-in.
02:49In the derby, blocked his path, but tries to get back on it, waits kindly.
03:03Rodondi, whiskers away.
03:06Well they want more of the same.
03:19Rodondi, having had an earlier effort, swiped wide at the near post, this was much better.
03:23On the stretch though, just couldn't get it off.
03:28And the ball in behind, and he's on to it quickly.
03:32Brilliantly turns inside his man, but when his final effort came, he was deflected behind for the match's first corner.
03:40Eric Lira, stuck to his task manfully.
03:50He looked to have been in a bit of trouble here.
03:54And the striker cut inside.
03:56Made sure there was no clear.
04:02Taking that central position.
04:04Feels hard done by, and he's not going to let the referee
04:13more at the last of it, but that's brought about the first yellow card for descent.
04:22I think some of the frustrations of the match, coming to the boil.
04:2615 minutes Cruz Azul, still looking to a route to Rossi's goal, can they find one now?
04:37Going to play through all the white shirts as it's clipped in, and it's the equaliser!
04:43Until the flag is raised.
04:48Gabriel Fernandes didn't even have time to celebrate.
04:51But now VAR will be making a quick check.
05:00La Machina get the break here.
05:08The problem is Radondi offside in the build-up.
05:16He does brilliantly to charge onto that.
05:18So unfortunate, it's a real great battle.
05:24But then when Panadella stood up, he was almost back on the ball,
05:28but Cruz Azul into the box.
05:30It's fallen here to Sanchez!
05:38Incredible equaliser!
05:41Minutes before the break.
05:43And Cruz Azul just would not give up the fight.
05:55Rossi finally beaten by an absolute rocket from the boot of Jorge Sanchez.
06:03Well, it was all untidy here, but Radondi won the ball back.
06:09Then this was just poked to the edge of the area.
06:13Flamingo not helping themselves.
06:18And Sanchez punishing them severely.
06:21What a moment for the Mexican back in his home country after a spell with Porto in a...
06:32Well, Glenn Newberg brings it to an end. A fabulous first...
06:37And that's it. That's it for the first 45 minutes. Cruz Azul found a way to get the equaliser.
06:50Practically in the last part, the goal scored by this man, Jorge Sanchez.
06:54He's down for a quick break and we're coming back with this...
06:56So back underway at the second time of asking. It's Cruz Azul one, Flamengo one.
07:12To the half. La Machina finally started to make a difference.
07:18And they're looking to make one right at the start of the half.
07:22Not even a minute gone.
07:25Agustin Rossi has to make a smart save.
07:29No wonder they're bouncing.
07:32Great movement. Decent enough strike by Gabriel Fernandes.
07:37The reason this corner is swung in by Rotondi and it's headed down.
07:43The referee does blow his whistle.
07:46Maybe a few Flamingo hearts fluttering, but it's in favour of the Rubro Negro.
07:57Of course not wearing their famous red and black.
08:02The white shirts this evening against the blue of Cruz Azul.
08:06Of Cruz Azul cheaply.
08:09Now N.E.K.
08:11Twistic turning, but just at the last moment.
08:15The Cavalry returns to help save the day.
08:18Alexandro Everton, first side ball. Flamingo are in.
08:25It may still go.
08:27Cleared off the line, was it?
08:30No, it was not.
08:31It's their main man once again, is the clock.
08:39Says goal.
08:40Georgian de Arasqueta at it again.
08:51Flamingo scored against the run of play when he netted in the first half.
08:58But the Uruguayan star very much putting the Brazilians ahead when they've been on top.
09:08A brilliant first time ball from Everton this time.
09:10The challenge from Piobi, this time inadvertently playing it back to the number 10.
09:20And as he lifted it goal words, Rotondi could not stop it crossing the line.
09:25The watch was clear.
09:27The watch word is goal for Flamingo.
09:32In the box.
09:33Now can Arasqueta deliver the knockout blow delivered in.
09:42Rodinho not the most convincing of punches but it runs kindly for Cruz Azul.
09:47Flamingo more than happy to give that free kick away.
09:53Romero wants to get on with things quickly as Jorginho.
09:56It's booking.
10:00The possibility of one.
10:03Fernandes and Rotondi.
10:05Now they're looking.
10:07Exposed at the back.
10:09Twisting.
10:10Turning.
10:12Looking for the final effort.
10:13For a place at the next round.
10:15Great save from Godino.
10:17Danger not over but Everton.
10:20Well, he just didn't keep it in.
10:26The brilliance.
10:27From Sergio Luis Alrojo.
10:32Breaking through.
10:33Twisting.
10:34Turning.
10:36Just waiting for the right time to release his effort.
10:39Rodinho with an excellent save.
10:41Everton just over cooking this slightly in fact.
10:45They've been deflected.
10:47Likely match winner.
10:49And that could be assured had that crossed the line.
10:53Cruz Azul managed to do what they couldn't do.
10:57For the second goal.
11:00Not the most of subtle chubs from Alexandro.
11:04It's amazing.
11:06The caught up footballers get.
11:08They can truly believe they've done nothing wrong.
11:10But this is a wicked delivery.
11:12The flick.
11:13From Ortiz.
11:15They hoped.
11:16Whatever his watch was going to flash.
11:18Goal again.
11:20This time Cruz Azul.
11:23Did have a hero on the.
11:25Rodriguez.
11:26Back to the defender.
11:28Kita.
11:30Borges.
11:31It's a wonderful reverse ball.
11:32Dancing feet.
11:34Biomi.
11:35And it's deflected kindly into the hands.
11:38The grateful hands.
11:39Of Rossi.
11:46Well it just seemed to open up a little bit.
11:51Another yellow card.
11:52The free kick taken quickly.
11:53Oh that's going to be another yellow card maybe.
11:57Well Flamengo.
11:58Oh that's going to be a red card.
12:01Well he might have got away with the yellow for now.
