00:03Officials, photographers, press and a couple of...
00:12And we're underway in Santiago at an empty Stadio Nacional.
00:16Closed doors night in the Comiball Copa Sudamericana, Universidad de Chile.
00:22They won the Super Classico at the weekend.
00:24They face their city rivals, Palestino.
00:29One leg, 90 minutes, no extra time.
00:32One place in the group stage, up for grabs.
00:34And no noise to hide behind tonight.
00:36I'm your commentator, Ewan Marshall.
00:38I am delighted to have you with us for this one.
00:41Universidad de Chile with possession early on.
00:44Here is Tamagio, caught in possession, inside his own area.
00:47Not a great start for the Venezuelan.
00:48And an early strike from Palestino.
00:51Montes, Vargas and Guerrero sorting it out there.
00:54It looks like Guerrero and Altamirano might just be playing behind Eduardo Vargas, potentially.
01:02Fluid front line.
01:03They missed quite a lot without Lucero, without that reference point, I think, in attack.
01:08Let's see how much that affects them as a chance for Araya.
01:11Getting away, gets a shot away and that's off the post.
01:13The first real attempts on goal, you see that complete Route 1 football.
01:17It's a good ball forward.
01:20Araya just has that space.
01:22Close to the near post.
01:24You often see in those situations players like to go across the goalkeeper.
01:28Araya just trying to catch out.
01:30CastellĂłn going to that near post.
01:33Here's Carghez.
01:34It's a back to Araya.
01:36It's a DC cross.
01:37The silver tries to bring it down.
01:39There's a man arriving.
01:40Zonica's shot is over the bar.
01:43Promising passage of play there from Palestino.
01:50Morales, the captain, Charles Aranguiz.
01:53A little elegant footballer.
01:57Morales advances.
02:01It's Problete.
02:02Support from Aranguiz.
02:10Problete.
02:11It's Guerrero.
02:12Quick turn.
02:17Problete breaks down.
02:18Montes gets it away.
02:19And Zonica tries to advance from left back.
02:23This pass is poor though.
02:28High tempo here.
02:33The manager shouting Maxi Esquerda.
02:36So yeah, Maxi Guerrero.
02:38I imagine will be pushed to the left wing.
02:40Instead of his familiar right side.
02:42the left wing.
02:44Aranguiz.
02:47Not a lot of space in the central midfield at the moment.
02:50A lot of counter pressing going on.
02:52Teams are giving away the ball quite a lot.
02:53But as a result they're getting involved in a lot of counter pressing.
02:58Cutting down a lot of space.
03:00Quite a frantic start to this one.
03:01As we enter the 20th minute.
03:07As a left back.
03:08Dilan Zuniga.
03:09Not that chance earlier on.
03:11The shot from the edge of the box.
03:12Blazed over the bar.
03:15Silva's header.
03:16But there's no takers.
03:18None of his teammates are close enough.
03:21Now going for the long ball.
03:22Looking for the poor man.
03:24Eduardo Vargas.
03:33Ramirez.
03:37Ramirez the centre back.
03:39Aranguiz.
03:39Altamirano.
03:41Looking for the pass here.
03:42Dormazabel.
03:42But he's well marshalled.
03:45Ramirez.
03:46Dormazabel now in possession.
03:51Aranguiz under pressure.
03:53Makes the error.
03:54And a chance to break here for Palestino.
03:56Araglia down the right side.
03:59Hit the post earlier on.
04:02Showed way too much of the ball to Tamayo.
04:04And that's good defending from the number 31.
04:13Recycler possession.
04:15Ramirez to Aranguiz.
04:18Marzabel looking to be the first time fast as captain.
04:23Remi a free kick.
04:25Not getting anything.
04:26And Zuniga.
04:27Exploits the space left.
04:30Benitez.
04:31Near the corner flag.
04:32With that left foot crossed.
04:33Looking for Araya.
04:34Gets the header.
04:35But that fall for Gallegos.
04:41It's the right foot.
04:43Gallegos is going to be Araya.
04:45That's a good angle.
04:46He got on that.
04:47And it's just over the bar.
04:53Curl on that shot.
04:55Just not enough to get it on target.
05:02From Araya.
05:04That's a poor ball out of the defence.
05:05And Palestino.
05:06Trying to put the host under pressure.
05:08But there's that counter press again.
05:09And Laul win it back.
05:13That's wasted from Guerrero.
05:17Cargue is looking to go long.
05:19And asking a bit too much of Martin Araya there.
05:23Araya has been a great spark in this game.
05:25I think for Palestino.
05:26He hit the post earlier on.
05:27And then had that opportunity from the free kick.
05:31A useful player down that right side.
05:34Right side.
05:36On to his left.
05:44Looking for Da Silva again.
05:50Aimless ball.
05:51But that's going to break down.
05:53Come to Universidad de Chile.
05:55Here's Morales.
05:56Back to the centre-back.
05:58And it's the final seconds of this first half fizzle away.
06:03Can't imagine Rafael Claus will let this go on much longer.
06:06And there is the whistle.
06:07Half time at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago.
06:13Stands are empty.
06:16Here's the crowd trouble in last year's competition.
06:25And here we go for the second 45 of Universidad de Chile 0.
06:30Palestino 0.
06:34A spot in the Copa Sudamericana group stages.
06:38At stake here.
06:44Alistino may be relatively happy after a first half performance.
06:48Sat off quite a bit and looked to pour forward in transitions.
06:54Managed to get a few chances.
06:55Universidad de Chile on the other hand will be quite frustrated.
06:58Lots of possession and very little to show for it.
07:06That's a good ball forward.
07:08Altamirano.
07:14Aranguiz.
07:15To Tamayo.
07:19Acta Aranguiz under some pressure.
07:20But the experienced midfielder holds his own.
07:23Holds on to possession.
07:25There's Ramirez.
07:27Lovely little wall pass there with Altamirano.
07:30Poblete sprays it out to the left hand side.
07:32Looking for Morales.
07:33The left wing back.
07:36Against his opposite number here.
07:39Yan Gargues.
07:40And Gargues does well.
07:41He'd won the throw in there.
07:43He's going for Universidad de Chile.
07:45Played quick.
07:45And Vargas with the header.
07:48Was on target.
07:49Just palmed away by Perez.
07:54You can see that chance there.
07:57Actually Guerrero just for the first time cross.
08:02Vargas really doesn't get enough of a connection on the header.
08:06It's that kind of quick decisive play.
08:09But an early corner here for Lau.
08:13In the second half.
08:16Points into the box.
08:18Went to the front post.
08:19But the delivery was not good enough from Altamirano.
08:22But he gets another chance.
08:23As Montes takes that one out.
08:26For a corner kick.
08:40Of course it's a goalkeeper that time.
08:42Perez was not going to be caught out.
08:45And the Palestinian captain.
08:47Clutches the ball to his chest.
08:54He goes long.
08:56Runces off Benitez there.
08:58There's Munder to come across and take the ball.
09:01Just lost possession.
09:03His attacking moves are just breaking down far too easily for both sides.
09:08Passing the ball.
09:28Niga to take the throw in.
09:31And towards the center forward.
09:33Da Silva.
09:33Does get his head on that.
09:35Mezas there to try to.
09:37Make that.
09:39Possession stick.
09:40Not working whatsoever.
09:43Has really been the story of the match.
09:44Neither side able to make possession stick in the final third.
09:49And then there's header forward.
09:51Comes to nothing.
09:53Cardiegos.
09:55Under pressure from Aranguiz.
09:57And it is Aranguiz who is being penalized.
10:10Is Aranguiz's deep cross.
10:14Carrasco.
10:15Picks that up.
10:16It's his first real involvement.
10:17Looking for that.
10:19Surprise cross to the far post.
10:20And if Hernandez had to deal with that.
10:23I don't think he knew who was behind him.
10:26I think he knew who was behind him.
10:26A corner kick to Palestino.
10:27It's Carrasco's first real involvement.
10:29The number seven since coming off the bench.
10:33A talented player.
10:35I saw that.
10:37Picked up the ball.
10:37Didn't think twice.
10:39Once that teasing cross to the back post.
10:46His quality will be important.
10:48I think for Palestino.
10:49In the final ten minutes.
10:51And change of regulation time.
10:56When it comes in from the left side.
10:58It's long.
11:00Mondaire is trying to pick that one up at the back post.
11:02Gets possession.
11:02Tries to find a way away from Poblete.
11:04That's a good cross.
11:06Dealt with well by Tamayo.
11:07And again.
11:08Taking no chances.
11:10Charles Aranguiz heads that one out.
11:11For another corner kick to Palestino.
11:31Once again.
11:32It will be the right footed delivery.
11:34From Sebastian Gardiegos.
11:35This.
11:36Uruguayan midfielder.
11:37Looking for.
11:38As you know.
11:39Head in the box.
11:39Drilled in.
11:40And there is a header.
11:42From Julian Fernandes.
11:43Over the bar.
11:45Could have been important.
11:47Could have been important.
11:47Swinging ball.
11:50Fernandes.
11:50Beats his.
11:51Namesake.
11:54Universidad de Chile.
11:55Even the half chances count.
11:56That was an opportunity.
11:59And we have a man down.
12:01It is.
12:02Yaneider.
12:05He suffers an injury.
12:06And those kind of injuries.
12:07It's a minimum of.
12:08Two weeks really.
12:10Depending on the degree.
12:18Free.
12:21Free kick.
12:23For Palestino.
12:26Fernando Mesa.
12:28Was caught late.
12:30By Eduardo Vargas.
12:34It was long.
12:36Looking for Munder.
12:38This might fall.
12:38To the winger.
12:41Into the box.
12:42Looking for Da Silva.
12:42And the header is on goal.
12:43It's in the back of the net.
12:45Palestino.
12:471-0 up in the Estadio Nacional.
12:52That gave a very few chances.
12:54All the best chances have gone to the away side.
12:58And it is Palestino.
13:01Who take the lead against the odds.
13:05Against Universidad de Chile.
13:06And they take a huge step.
13:09Towards the group stage draw for the Copa Sudamericana.
13:13This is what they've.
13:14Been successful at.
13:16All evening.
13:17That's Route 1 football.
13:19Defence struggle to deal with that.
13:21Munder's cross.
13:23That.
13:23Now.
13:25Knocked out.
13:25In the first round of the Copa Sudamericana.
13:27If this result holds.
13:29All the pressure goes right back on.
13:31Menegheny's shoulders.
13:34There's still.
13:36Football to be played here.
13:38Free kick to.
13:39Lau in a promising position.
13:41And the first yellow card of the game.
13:42To Dylan.
13:43Zuniga.
13:45Went in late on.
13:47Nico Fernandes.
13:49Even though he doesn't get as many minutes these days.
13:52At 39 years old.
13:53A chance to make a real impact.
13:55Now.
13:59Left foot of Salomone.
14:01And the header.
14:02From Eduardo Vargas.
14:03Just over the bar.
14:04And is back to goal.
14:06Just tried to flick it into the back of the net.
14:09But it was always.
14:10Going over.
14:20As you look at that.
14:2164.7% ball possession.
14:24For.
14:24Universidad de Chile.
14:28For.
14:29Five shots.
14:29And not many.
14:30Lear cut chances.
14:31Really.
14:31Eduardo Vargas.
14:32His header.
14:33At the start of the second half.
14:34Was their best opportunity.
14:36But they're pouring forward now.
14:37They really need it.
14:39Salomone.
14:40Salomone.
14:41It's cut out.
14:42Well.
14:42By.
14:43Gallegos.
14:44It's going to be a throw in.
14:47Talomone.
14:48Taking it quickly.
14:49Here is.
14:50Diaz.
14:51Marcelo Diaz.
14:52Looking for the big square ball.
14:54Manny Fernandes.
14:55Munda does really well.
14:57To cut that one out.
15:01Fernandes just showing too much of the ball.
15:03To this palestino.
15:05Opponent.
15:07It's going to be a long throw from Fernandes.
15:09Here.
15:10Backing down the hatches.
15:12Now palestino.
15:13Just a couple of minutes.
15:15To stop his time.
15:16Left to play.
15:17Go!
15:20Go!
15:24Go!
15:26Go!
15:27Go!
15:28Go!
15:29Go!
15:31Go!
15:31Go!
15:32Go!

15:35Go!
15:35Go!
15:36Go!
15:39Go!
15:41Go!
15:43I want to stay.
15:44Very little time remaining.
15:49There's Ramirez.
15:54Aaranguez need some movement and some options forward.
15:57Marcelo Diaz.
16:00lost that one it's a good ball looking for Guerrero could Eduardo Vargas finish this one
16:05just stabs at it there almost looked like he had a sight of goal
16:09Altamirano going to go for the shot it's deflected and just passed the post
16:14I think Sebastian Perez thought that one might have been sneaking in
16:23where was this impulse and impetus from Universidad de Chile throughout the game
16:29and only really turning it on now when they really really need a goal
16:36the referee is added on another minute of stoppage time
16:40cross from Salomone in the corner will that fall for a
16:43Lavo player here is Diaz lobbing to the back post chance now for Guerrero
16:49it's at the back of the net and they've equalized
16:54Maxi Guerrero with the header at the far post
16:59Marcelo Diaz with the assist
17:04and Universidad de Chile are still in this just when it looked like they were going
17:11to be eliminated after conceding a late goal of their own
17:16they've managed to get back level
17:23and it's Maxi Guerrero at the back post he was onside
17:29some real drama late on
17:34I won't maybe might think that they can go on and win this but there's not a lot of
17:38time for them to do that I wonder if Rafael Klaus will add on more than the
17:43six minutes because of that goal
17:47is Mathias de Aldivia suspended for this one looking on nervously for his teammates
17:53opening now for Munder perhaps gets to the byline cuts back inside
17:57has a cross here knocked away and it's in the back of the net unbelievable
18:04the right back Jan Garghez sneaks out of the back post
18:09and the coach is on the pitch the substitutes are on the pitch
18:13in the last second of the game palestino have scored a second
18:18unbelievable drama at the end of this one in the Estadio Nacional
18:24just when it looked like Universidad de Chile might go up and score a second goal
18:29it's palestino that seemed to have snatched victory here
18:36it's the number 29 Jan Garghez the right back
18:42what a moment for him the long throw once again not dealing with these high balls whatsoever
18:50in behind Fernandes and Munder does so well
18:56and just look at how Garghez appears out of absolutely nowhere to turn that one into the net
19:02not only did we get two goals we got three who knows might even get more
19:06no Rafael Claus brings it to the end palestino are in the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana in dramatic
19:14style
19:17it finishes here at the Estadio Nacional Universidad de Chile one palestino two
19:25two injury time goals
19:29when Nelson da Silva scored in the 85th it looked as if palestino had snatched the victory
19:34Maxi Guerrero's head out
19:37leveled things what seemed like right of the death but there was still more time
19:42and Jan Garghez hops up at the back post in the dying seconds of the match to win
