00:01we are underway in Caracas Caracas against Metropolitanos first round of
00:08this year's Comma Ball Sudamericana in a place in the group stage decided this
00:13evening Caracas wearing their traditional red shirts going right to
00:18left Metropolitanos in the white with purple trim attacking the goal away to
00:24our right also about to kick off in Bolivia the Bolivian clash between
00:32Blooming and San Antonio Bulobulo late from this evening games in Chile
00:40Paraguay Colombia the big one there between Atletico Nacional and Missionarios
00:44and also in Ecuador was the Sudamericana format that's been used now for a few
00:52years the first round with these regional ties between nation between teams of the
01:01same nation excluding Brazil and Argentina who go straight through to the group
01:06such an early cross sent in Caracas look to grab themselves an early goal and quite
01:11break for them on the edge of the area and it's time to assess his options turn
01:18around to work it out onto the right the cross is sent in had a goal words and
01:21that is a wonderful save what's a save that really looked like it was heading
01:29into the back of the net it's a wonderful header by Adrian be important that red
01:34shirts get close to the big number nine chance here at the other end a powerful
01:42run forward super stop by Benitez to deny Cavier Ortiz
01:49once inside the box Caracas terrified to make the challenge but it's a good save
01:54gets his angles right now you need again figure out now has the space to cross
01:59it's a good delivery at the back post oh what a chance what a miss really well
02:06worked it's a great delivery hanging at the back post and from there the contact
02:11that Ortiz gets he has to score in this not only a foul surely advantage being
02:21played Covella Covella sells the dummy across the face of goal excellent
02:26defending by Ramirez this is the challenge worked into a shooting
02:34opportunity it's taken as a cross and it's headed away by Caracote just
02:40wonder whether Robert Hernandez given a space he was given there on the edge of
02:43the area wouldn't have thought about shooting another chance to cross and
02:50Ortiz is back helping out his team Metropolitanos clear up to halfway danger averted
03:07half-time whistle blows here in Venezuela Caracas nil Metropolitanos nil 45 minutes ahead to decide this
03:18one in the first round of the Sudamericana nothing between the sides but an entertaining first off both
03:24sides coming very very close and on another night perhaps both should be leaving the
03:32fields with at least a goal the two number nines at the center of everything
03:42Adrian Fernandez twice denied by Jonathan Justiz and towering headers and Cavier Ortiz the number nine of
03:52Metropolitanos having three good sights at goal
04:11and we're back on the way Caracas nil Metropolitanos nil night fallen here at the Estadio Olimpico and the game
04:22very much still up for grabs Miko with the early
04:25cross in just over the head of caviar Ortiz he's been the lively outlet for the
04:30visitors can't get on the end of any crosses sent in here in the first minute however
04:43Yendis
04:46Rotonda working the ball out back helping out his team and it will be Luis Magot who calmly steps out
04:54from the back and finds a pass super play from the center back
05:00Caracas shifting gears to get up to halfway calmly in possession now looking down the right cut out by Simon
05:07Ramirez loose ball picked up by Angel Figueroa
05:11Fernandez with the layoff Figueroa again goes for goal blocked by Caracote
05:22here's Ferreira
05:24it's the cross field pass over the head of Fernandez and it's nodded back to Justiz in the Metropolitanos goal
05:45Eduardo Ferreira
05:49been useful on that right hand side Ferreira
05:53right of the back four operating high up the pitch and giving a lot of width to Caracas
06:01Magot
06:03so two down the left where Yendis tries to get forward
06:08Corvea
06:08looking for Figueroa
06:11find its way to
06:12Moudinho instead here is Ferreira
06:16sides against
06:17crossing plays the one two
06:19intended pass for Corvea behind its target
06:21Manenti with the pass out and now the brakes on for
06:24the visitors Figueroa
06:26no one really in support of Figueroa
06:29no one close enough
06:32down that right hand side
06:37and it's a yellow card
06:39away with the yellow card
06:41this
06:42challenge on David Salzman however
07:07he's at Ramirez
07:10Simon Ramirez
07:12better for Metropolitanos as they look to apply some pressure
07:14Ramirez
07:15forced backwards
07:19Daltzman
07:21trying down the right hand side instead
07:23out to Figueroa
07:23Figueroa does deliver a cross
07:26easily cut out by Goudinho
07:31and a great little burst of pace
07:32to bring the ball away for Caracas
07:34it's four against four
07:36Caracas
07:36coming through the middle and that will be a yellow card
07:40unquestionably
07:43puts on the afterburners and
07:45unashamedly hauled to the ground
07:47by Isaac Ramirez
07:49spotting the danger
07:50created by that run of Corvea
07:53behind the target
07:55and cleared away again
08:01Hernandez is still down
08:02so they don't have that focal point in the attack
08:04he's now joining the force
08:05as it is sent in looping
08:08high into the sky
08:12dealing with those kind of crosses without
08:14Adrian Fernandez being forward is an
08:16easier proposition for Metropolitanos
08:34Maestro
08:35Maestro
08:35caught in possession by Fedor
08:38and as he makes the run behind he's blocked off there by
08:40Luis Mago
08:42yellow card shown to the veteran centre-back
08:46Fedor
08:46never really likely to have the pace
08:50either way from halfway
08:53Ramirez
08:55Ayine
08:58escapes one challenge
09:00finds a pass out wide across
09:02comes in
09:03deflection takes the pace off any
09:07danger the shot may have had
09:09rests comfortably in the hands of
09:10Frank Carlos Benitez
09:35Delay here with the player down
09:36or Caracas
09:49full-time whistle blows
09:51nil-nil it ends
09:53seemed
09:55likely that would be the case
09:57for a long period in this second half
10:00and it will indeed be penalties
10:02to separate Caracas
10:04and Metropolitanos
10:05it ends here at the Estadio Olimpico
10:07nil-nil
10:09both goalkeepers in the first half showed what they're capable of
10:12less so in the second
10:13the end
10:13of the year
10:13of the year
10:15the end
10:21of the year
