00:00Alianza Lima, so this gives you an idea of the scale of that result last week
00:11with Dos Di Maggio
00:15progressing to round two. It is then the second phase of Libertadores qualification.
00:25Dos Di Maggio versus Sporting Cristal, El Gacho Norteño, the Northern Rooster versus Celeste
00:33against Alianza Lima. We are underway in Paraguay for the first leg of phase two of qualification
00:41in the Conmebol Libertadores. I'm Joel Richards, the match commentator on this world feed as we see
00:47the Paraguayans up against the Peruvians stake a place in phase three
00:54staying alive in this competition with the aim of reaching the group phase.
01:04Real event for the local side, Eduardo Lezma, 40 years of age.
01:14He did win the title in Argentina with Lanús but spent most of his career in Paraguay.
01:20very much at the start of his career in the dugout.
01:31His opposite number, Paulo Autuori, the Brazilian who's won the Libertadores twice.
01:3797 with Crucero, 2005 with Sao Paulo.
01:44That year they also won the Club World Cup as well.
01:48So a decorated coach in the dugout for Sporting Cristal.
02:02First corner of the game for the away side, the Peruvians.
02:11Gonzalez to deliver.
02:12I do feel that, as I said on paper, it's a real mismatch this game and could be back to
02:22the wall stuff before.
02:24I think it's down to take a result back with them to Peru.
02:33The host on the attack, Alfonso with the ball in.
02:37The edge of the box is Gormes.
02:41The space now.
02:47Gormes.
02:50Anywhere will do for Sporting Cristal on Gonzalez.
02:55Clears that, but it's going to be, they're going to have to line up, defend.
02:59They organized the Peruvians, taken quickly by Lothar Nigel.
03:15That's the first yellow card of the game for Casonati.
03:18That really puts him in a challenge on Gormes.
03:23Oh, he's getting the ball.
03:32Ten minutes on the clock, goalless in his first leg.
03:36The second round of qualification in the 2026 Colmebol Libertadores.
03:54Gonzalez.
03:58It was late on Catriel, Cabello.
04:03After the statistics, 66% of possession for the home side.
04:08So far, this is Felipe Veciel.
04:12So much of the ball yet, he's unable to offload.
04:15The teammate forces a lot of work there.
04:17Two is a bad challenge, and that too will be a booking.
04:30Back challenge by Rodrigo Ruiz Diaz.
04:34One thing's being competitive, another is...
04:43two players in the book, so far.
04:52Two players in the book, so far.
05:00The space for Catariel Cabezos.
05:05Turn the space for Iberico.
05:08Lovely ball in.
05:10Oh, that's a great opportunity.
05:13Those wanting for...
05:15To everything there, that reaction.
05:20Good vision.
05:21Lovely delivery.
05:23By Iberico.
05:28And that really should have been in the back of the net.
05:39It's the right back one.
05:45Right, call from the...
05:48Referee's assistant, however.
05:49Last touch did indeed come off the Argentine.
06:02No stage fright
06:05from Dolce Major.
06:08Very much going to head against
06:12the Peruvians.
06:13They haven't had a decent side of goal so far.
06:16They're making it a battle out there.
06:20They're going indeed in search of
06:22the first opening.
06:23Alfonso.
06:23On the board, the number seven.
06:25Lovely bit of skill.
06:26Skips past Cristiano.
06:27Still Alfonso.
06:29They keep Adieu and Regis.
06:39Made hard work of that, didn't they?
06:40forced all the way back
06:42and then dispossessed.
06:44Dolce Major.
06:46Romero spreads it to Alfonso.
06:50Looks deep.
06:57Clear by Gonzalez.
07:00For a corner kick.
07:03Nice looping.
07:06Curling cross there from
07:0826-year-old Alfonso.
07:11Another corner.
07:12As we come with
07:1210 minutes to go before the break.
07:15Alan Gomez
07:16to deliver.
07:20Well, Camilo Saiz
07:21won the header.
07:28Fortin Cristal, seventh in the table
07:29in Peru.
07:30One win, one draw,
07:31one defeat, their name.
07:33They drew 1-1 on
07:35match day one
07:36to Deportivo Garcilas.
07:38So they lost.
07:402-1 to Melgar,
07:41who are the current leaders
07:43in Peru with
07:44100% record after three matches.
07:46Here's an attack with Cebacos.
07:50Does really well.
07:51Cebacos to eke out
07:53some space.
07:55It's not a good challenge.
08:00From Lutia.
08:03Centre-back also booked.
08:24Hard for first half
08:27in Paraguay.
08:29Both sides making mistakes.
08:34Both sides putting
08:35in big challenges.
08:40Boston and Marshall
08:41hosts very much
08:42the underdogs
08:43but level pegging
08:44still with their
08:46illustrious opponents.
08:48Sporting Cristal.
08:49Alfonso.
08:50Alfonso.
08:51Well to offload quickly.
08:53Still Alfonso.
08:55Can't react quickly enough.
08:58That was a bad tackle there.
09:01Straight red.
09:06For...
09:08he's had a stretch
09:09but he goes through
09:11Sergio Sanabria.
09:16If you wonder if it's
09:18the call from Betancourt
09:20is that he loses control
09:22as he goes
09:22feet off the ground there.
09:25He really got...
09:27just to play out then
09:30these minutes of
09:32minutes added on
09:33to the
09:34first half
09:40is a
09:40first half
09:41that never really
09:42came to life.
09:44Just a couple of
09:45opportunities
09:46for the away side
09:47in particular.
09:49There is perhaps
09:50one final attack.
09:52Jotun.
09:53Lovely for Vissil.
09:54Real opportunity here.
09:55Great save though.
09:58Anko Martinez
09:59called into action.
10:01Cristal.
10:03Nicely worked move.
10:04Lovely from Jotun.
10:06Vissil.
10:09Surrounded by defenders.
10:11Managed to
10:12get his shot off
10:13but
10:14couldn't test
10:15Anko Martinez
10:16further than
10:170-0
10:17between
10:18Dost and Masha.
10:23That's the end of the
10:24first 45 minutes.
10:26Dost and Masha
10:27and Sporting Cristal
10:28without goals.
10:30Nil-nil.
10:31But
10:31one red card.
10:33Luis Iberico
10:34wasn't tough
10:35in the
10:3541st minute.
10:37So Sporting Cristal
10:38will have to do
10:39something
10:39to get a good
10:41result
10:41from today.
10:43Let's see
10:44if Dost and Masha
10:45can do something
10:46for the second half.
10:48In the pitch.
10:50Don't go anywhere.
10:51You're watching
10:51Vince Brons.
10:56Underway in Paraguay.
10:58It is goalless
10:58between Dost and Masha
10:59and Sporting Cristal.
11:01The second half
11:01of this
11:02first leg
11:04with a tie
11:05in the
11:06second qualification
11:07round in the
11:08Libertador.
11:08It is
11:09Joel Rich is
11:09match commentator
11:10for the
11:11world feed.
11:14We were saying
11:15a game that's
11:15we hope
11:16can
11:17give us a bit
11:18more entertainment
11:19in this second
11:19period of play.
11:22Just one shot
11:23on target
11:23in the
11:24first half.
11:27Just a couple
11:28of opportunities
11:28for the
11:29away side
11:29to convert.
11:31Two headers
11:32both going
11:32wide.
11:36The home
11:36side really
11:37struggling
11:37certainly
11:38in the
11:38final third
11:39but they
11:39are giving
11:39a good
11:39fight
11:40and
11:40Dost and Masha
11:41let's not
11:41forget
11:42a side
11:43that were

11:53big sides
