00:03Full start, but we are on the way here at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona.
00:09Argentinos Juniors against Barcelona, replacing round three of the Comerball Libertadores.
00:16Home team wearing their traditional reds, Barcelona in their traditional yellow.
00:22So, 90 minutes, potentially penalties to decide this one.
00:26Nicolas Diaz in charge of Argentinos Juniors.
00:41Boros, caught in possession on halfway, Benedetto.
00:45All the visitors getting their first touch.
00:48Running through one challenge and then running straight into Raquelme, who wins it.
00:52Hernán López Munoz spins on halfway and spins into space.
00:55López Munoz coming forward on his favorite left foot, goes for goal and drags that one just wide.
01:02A warning shot for Barcelona, not to allow that kind of space.
01:08But Hernán López Munoz on his left foot.
01:10This is AlferrÃas looking relaxed for the Venezuelan.
01:17There goes all the way back with Cortes.
01:21The Chilean goalkeeper who arrived at the start of this year from Colo Colo.
01:27Had a good run in the Libertadores themselves last year.
01:35Experienced Chilean coming in really in response to the ACL injury suffered to Diego RodrÃguez.
01:43El Russo RodrÃguez.
01:45As he's known, during last season.
01:52And he's still on the city on the bench.
01:54The 23-year-old stepped in to assume the role after the injury of Diego RodrÃguez.
02:00But in the Libertadores campaign to come, it was always likely that he beat Chocolorado.
02:05We're going to go into the market for an experienced keeper.
02:07And that is where Cortes steps in.
02:09It's a great ball in at the back post.
02:10Viveros is there.
02:11Still there.
02:12Can it be poked home?
02:13It's loose.
02:14Aros is there to fire in.
02:16And Argentinos juniors double their lead in the tie.
02:21So, for my money, he is going to be asking Esteban Oslovic just to come and take a look at
02:28that.
02:29There's at least one moment, I think, when it hits the arm.
02:32It might even be two.
02:33Is there one there?
02:34Certainly one there.
02:36And if it doesn't hit the arm of Viveros, as I said, even if it's an inverting, I think it
02:40gets away from him.
02:41And he's not able to get the shot.
02:50Lengthy delay.
02:51Referee is now being told to come and take a look at the monitor.
02:58That, for me, the second one is the clearer of any potential handballs if there is one before.
03:05But he has indeed spotted now the handball.
03:08It won't count.
03:12It will be a...
03:13Goes long.
03:15Poor Sal again.
03:16A lonely attack.
03:16He's out to Baez in the air.
03:20It's Prieto, however.
03:22Viveros.
03:24Quick touch round the sides.
03:26He's going around Calabari, who's helped out by Celis.
03:29He's going around Calabari, who's helped out by Celis.
03:59Pass by Prieto.
04:02Vattori.
04:03This time caught in possession.
04:05Benedetto running at the back line.
04:07Goes for goal.
04:08He's moving.
04:09Skipped off the turf as well, but...
04:12Behind the ball.
04:13First sighted goal for Dario Benedetto.
04:16Steps away from Raquelme.
04:18Onto his right foot in space.
04:20Inviting the shot.
04:21With an awkward bounce just in front of the keeper.
04:25Grand champions in Madrid.
04:29In a controversial third game.
04:47Get away by Raquelme.
04:49Good clearance.
04:50It falls for Viveros.
04:51It's tackled by Kimiones, however.
04:53Celis.
04:55Can we keep running into a crowd of red shirts?
04:58Immediately hit long.
05:01As long as it was chasing.
05:02He can't get there before Rangel.
05:04Works it back to his goalkeeper.
05:05But...
05:20Horos.
05:22Unfortunate.
05:23He and Benedetto collide as they both slide in for the ball.
05:27Horos.
05:28Comes off the worst of it.
05:29Yellow card out already.
05:32Fast in the direction of Dario Benedetto.
05:43It's always a difficult one with two players.
05:45Even more so on a wet pitch like this.
05:47Go to ground.
05:49To find.
05:50The forward run of Lozano.
05:55Turn away back with Raquelme.
05:58Horos.
06:02Well, since the feet of Viveros on the edge of the area.
06:06Troubled on the edge of that 18-yard box.
06:08No one getting a shot away.
06:11Little too intricate from Argentinos juniors.
06:18Totally under pressure.
06:21Tackled by Quiñones.
06:22No foul.
06:22Good opportunity.
06:24That could be a foul.
06:25Not according to the referee.
06:27Let's two potential instances go on.
06:30Perhaps one cancelling out another.
06:32Another space for Lozano.
06:34Lozano.
06:35Goes for goal.
06:36Saved by the keeper.
06:37Harried.
06:38Kept in play.
06:39Driving unmarked.
06:41A lot to unpack.
06:43There would have been complaints if that had ended me with a goal.
06:49Saved made by battling central midfield.
07:10Benedetto down.
07:12Near five minutes before half-time.
07:14He's coming together with Roman McKelme.
07:33He's got caught underneath the chin by the shoulder of Raquel May without any intent.
07:43Kept in the way by Caravalli.
07:45Viveros.
07:47And Caravalli's fouled him in his attempts to win it back.
07:49And he's going to go in the book here.
07:50Brian Caravalli.
07:53Bona.
07:55Trying to make an end.
08:00It's the only 1-0 in Brazil between Botafogo and Nacional.
08:03But it's a 1-1.
08:05On a grid there.
08:07Approaching half-time.
08:08As we are here in La Patanelle.
08:13Great kick left for López Munoz.
08:15Great delivery.
08:16And a header at the near post.
08:18Flip wide by Diego Porcel.
08:22Another good ball in.
08:24From a wide area.
08:27Porcel.
08:28Kins of offside perhaps against the striker.
08:50And a pass between yellow shirts.
08:55Opening a space for the cross from Biveros.
08:57And Riquel is there for Barcelona.
09:00With that clearance.
09:01The half-time whistle blows.
09:05Goalless at the break.
09:07Argentinos juniors nil.
09:08Barcelona nil.
09:10Half-time in the second leg.
09:12Here in the Libertadores.
09:14Argentinos juniors still leading by one goal to nil.
09:20And that's half-time here in Buenos Aires with the score nil-nil.
09:23Argentinos juniors have stayed discipline-keeping Barcelona Sporting Club at bay while proving for chances to the counter.
09:30With the result, Argentinos juniors are still ahead of the aggregate thanks to their 1-nil win in Ecuador.
09:35Meaning they will advance if their score stays the same as this.
09:39We'll take a short break.
09:45We're back underway.
09:47Now whoever Argentinos juniors nil.
09:49Barcelona nil.
09:5045 minutes to decide this game.
09:5345 minutes to see if Barcelona can find a way back into it.
09:57That didn't look likely during that first half.
10:00Just a one shot from the visitors.
10:02They're never really looking to threaten the goal.
10:05Of Brian Cortez.
10:07No changes made by either say at half-time either.
10:11So for now at least.
10:13Most managers happy to stick with how things are.
10:16And see what may happen over the next 10 or 15 minutes.
10:22Before perhaps going to their benches.
10:27And the free kick away of Argentinos juniors.
10:30Riveros challenged from behind.
10:33Torrey again showing for the easy pass.
10:36Wonderful pass out of the back line from Raquel.
10:39And he gets Argentinos juniors on the move.
10:43And then Lopez Munoz fails to control it.
10:46Looked for a moment as though it was going to fall nicely for the Lozano breaking forward.
10:55Another great example there, though, of the principles behind Argentinos juniors.
11:01Pass out from Cortez.
11:04Insta-feat of Fattori.
11:06Separate the centre-backs.
11:07And came to him to give the easy pass to the goalkeeper.
11:11And then Raquel Munoz, the young centre-back, being able to find the pass.
11:15Lopez Munoz with the shot.
11:17Turned away by Contreras.
11:21That left foot of Lopez Munoz.
11:23A real threat.
11:25Particularly when given this kind of time and space.
11:29And his best try towards Benedetto.
11:32Alone in the attack.
11:33And he's now beginning to show signs of his own personal frustration.
11:40Not just the lack of service, but the lack of support.
11:44The lack of yellow shirts that are actually getting forward to get close to him.
12:00And Steele.
12:03Looking for Celes.
12:05Finds him.
12:10To Rice.
12:13And he's sent forward in the air towards Benedetto.
12:16Being left almost at a target battle.
12:17And now it breaks.
12:18It's 2v2.
12:20Borsell keeps going.
12:21Goes for goal.
12:22It's moving in the air.
12:24Saved by Contreras.
12:26And he's quick enough back onto his feet to get to that second ball.
12:31Easiest system to play in as a winger.
12:33Because of where the full-backs are.
12:35Then providing the width.
12:37Forces maybe a player who would naturally want to play as a traditional winger.
12:41To have to come in field.
12:43Some are better suited to that than others.
12:46But Chacon is going to get his chance to do it now in place of Viveros.
12:51And he came through with Rosario Central before making the move here to Buenos Aires.
12:58Argentinos juniors midway through last year.
13:08Nice way forward.
13:09Benedetto.
13:11To win the flick off.
13:13Obviously for Caravalli.
13:16Caravalli's cross.
13:17Good delivery.
13:18And it could fall here on the edge of the area.
13:20Saved by Cortes.
13:22The first real moment of danger.
13:25Putting Barcelona level in the tie.
13:28Great crossing from Caravalli.
13:31And McCallum's header falls kindly through a crowd of players.
13:34The shot that comes in from Rocas.
13:36And Cortes does well.
13:38You can see him trying to keep sight of the ball.
13:42And now Barcelona invited to attack.
13:45Down to ten.
13:45There's a player still down in yellow.
13:54That will be a foul.
13:55And on the yellow card.
13:56This time to the captain.
13:57And Jao Rojas.
14:01Coming back.
14:02Almost on the face of Lautaro Giacon.
14:04Rojas.
14:07It's a low cross in towards the edge of the area.
14:09Shooting chance for Quinones.
14:11And that is a super goal.
14:13Wonderful strike from Johnny Quinones.
14:15And Barcelona are back level in the tie.
14:19Moments after the triple change.
14:21But it's Johnny Quinones.
14:24Who strikes first for the visitors.
14:29It's a beautiful finish.
14:32The first time strike.
14:34From the man who spent.
14:37A pretty miserable year.
14:39Here in Argentina with Independiente.
14:44And supporters of Independiente might just be wondering.
14:48Where was this player in Abisjanela?
14:51A brilliant strike.
14:57The goal for Barcelona hasn't really looked likely.
15:00There's another yellow card here shown.
15:06And the C-shirt.
15:07So we see what Núñez.
15:10Have done.
15:11Which is why he's.
15:12Avoided another.
15:13A yellow card.
15:14Another one for Barcelona.
15:20And then Fitori is going to go in the book.
15:25And while we've seen a lot of yellow cards showing the way of the visitors.
15:27I think that's the first one for Argentina's juniors.
15:41Martinez with the free kick.
15:44Back across goal.
15:45There's no one there.
15:46In yellow.
15:47He's convinced he defended before it eventually is cleared away.
15:50And a chance to break.
15:51Let's go.
15:53There's Cano.
15:54There's Cano.
15:55He needs to find a pass.
15:56It's Fernand López Munoz.
15:57Gets there.
15:59Just as he makes that final touch to try and break beyond Vargas.
16:04The full-back is able to stick a boot in and make the challenge.
16:07López Munoz again in possession.
16:10Moving it on before three in yellow.
16:12Converging in.
16:13Leandro Fernández.
16:14Still Fernández.
16:16Fernández goes for goal.
16:17Oh, Scott definitely skips along off the turf.
16:22From one.
16:23Still going Fattori.
16:26This place is a pass, but immediately wins it back again.
16:30And we'll now go seeking a corner and gets one.
16:51Taking short.
16:52Leandro Fernández makes the left-footed delivery on the right foot.
16:56Blocked by the chest.
16:58Arms clasped down by the side to avoid any kind of trouble.
17:04But Leandro Fernández will try again.
17:06Another cross in.
17:07Deflected and saved at the near post.
17:09And the second time of asking.
17:13Leandro Fernández.
17:13Fattori.
17:16Rare misstep as he loses track of the ball.
17:20And back by Lescanal.
17:22Hammered forward.
17:24Giacarni with the shot.
17:25Locked on the edge of the area.
17:26The follow-up.
17:28Pass that's sprayed out on this near side for López Munoz.
17:31With the cross in.
17:33That's another good defensive header by Ranjel.
17:41López Munoz reloads with the cross.
17:44This one turned away by López Munoz.
17:48Reaching the final minute of the 90.
17:53López Munoz with the outside of the boot.
17:55Rangel again there with the header.
17:57As far as Lozano.
17:58Fattori.
18:00Lozano with space to pick out the cross.
18:02Does just that.
18:06Vargas.
18:07Throw down the line.
18:10And López Munoz back helping out.
18:12López Munoz.
18:13Nothing on but to clear down the line.
18:16And hope that Morales can chase on to it.
18:20Five minutes of added time.
18:37López Munoz down the line for Fernández.
18:40Watched by two.
18:43Fernández around one.
18:46Has to find a cross.
18:48Really dangerous low ball into that six-yard box.
18:52Somehow it comes away.
18:53And Vigialba.
18:54Running clear is pulled back around the neck.
18:58López Munoz.
19:00And Lescano booked.
19:16And there goes the full-time whistle.
19:19It ends in defeat on the night for Argentinos juniors.
19:23By one goal to nil.
19:25Johnny Quinonez's fine strike after 66 minutes.
19:28Earning Barcelona the 1-0 win here tonight.
19:32Crucially.
19:33It ends 1-1 on aggregate.
19:34And with that, we head to penalties to decide this tie.
19:50And right up until that Quinonez strike, Argentinos juniors
19:54have looked so comfortable.
19:5770% possession.
19:59Never really stretched by Barcelona.
20:02And I'll see you in the next one.
20:03Bye.
20:04Bye.
20:04Bye.
