00:00They racked up 12 wins in a row against the Venezuelans as well.
00:05This match begins.
00:07Romengo moving from right to left on the attack.
00:10Kuzco on the opposition, pushing from left to right with the resistance.
00:15Glad you could be here with us.
00:17Temperatures at kickoff, a comfortable 48 degrees.
00:21A few scattered clouds, but all in all, it's a prime night for ball.
00:25Humidity right around 81%.
00:27Alejandro O'Fila, the new coach on the opposing side of things for Flamengo.
00:36That's Alejandro O'Fila.
00:38Get the acknowledgement and the introduction.
00:41This is a fascinating way to begin your managerial career against a club like Flamengo.
00:51There are scattered clouds tonight around the stadium.
00:57The thoughts of rain, while not threatening, are there.
01:03But, of course, things need to play out.
01:07Speaking of playing out, Bruno Henrique gets taken out.
01:11Teams will play on for at least the time being.
01:15Carlos Lopez swallowing his whistle for the time being.
01:18Henrique back to his toes.
01:20He's okay.
01:24Dantas de Medeiros builds up after every minute.
01:29Ridiculates away as we push towards 90.
01:32This shot, short side.
01:33Nice stop of the keeper.
01:35And Diaz-Mendoza.
01:40Good ball movement from Flamengo.
01:44And Plata.
01:46Some good elevation this ball.
01:56This ball.
01:57About 30 yards out.
01:59Golden moment.
02:00No, not here at OC.
02:01Climbs the ladder.
02:02Makes a good stop with his right hand.
02:04And Silva looking on.
02:05He wants a second crack of the apple.
02:10Out here in the push.
02:11Henrique out wide.
02:12Looking for a seam.
02:13He takes the shot.
02:14Easy to manage with Diaz.
02:16No angle.
02:18We'll effort our best to get a player interview or coach interview.
02:22Maybe even both.
02:23We can get greedy on that.
02:24Of course, full-time highlights and stats.
02:26We're a long way from that.
02:28Speaking of it.
02:29Saw it well.
02:30Check it out.
02:32Should be easy to manage, but that took a good dip.
02:37Has not been a problem.
02:40Henrique.
02:42Trying to find a seam.
02:43This should be a booking.
02:47Our first one of the night.
02:48We'll check out this sequence again.
02:54And then Fuentes was caught flat-footed, dead to the right.
03:06Baqueta would imagine he is on this ball.
03:09We'll wait and see.
03:11Baqueta with the left foot.
03:16Bench at the top of the show.
03:18Died.
03:20And Diaz was okay, but...
03:24He had three players that were left behind the back four of Lomengo.
03:31And because of that, they were all offside.
03:34Baqueta.
03:38Fans here getting a little raucous.
03:46Don't have official numbers just yet, but we expect a capacity crowd, and they've been
03:53treated to a good one so far.
03:54Our endurance Lopes blows the whistle.
03:5645 minutes in the books here from Inca Garcidiozzo de la Vega to Gusco.
04:02Gusco and Flamengo at the end of the first half were scoreless.
04:07As we have stats and highlights right around the corner.
04:44the second half begins
04:46Guzco going from right to left
04:48Flamengo from left to right
04:50who will be the better half team
04:52here to conclude this matchup
04:54in match day number one
04:58Flamengo
04:58strong in the first half
05:00dominated the shot category
05:02but nothing across the board
05:04Guzco weathered a few different storms
05:06managed to hold on
05:08near the end of the first half
05:09and almost had a couple
05:10opportunities to score for their own
05:14play happens so quick
05:16the header is scored
05:17a bang bang play
05:20Enrique is on the board
05:21and so is Flamengo
05:231-0
05:26a quick restart
05:28after what Guzco thought
05:30was an illegal touch inside the 18
05:34this was quick transition ball
05:37check it out
05:39Flamengo didn't have this many
05:41opportunities in the first half
05:42to play direct
05:45so a lot of the action was out wide
05:47but Lucas
05:49fighting Enrique
05:50and Diaz
05:51no chance on it
05:52he was going one way
05:54ball went the other
05:55Enrique tucks it in
05:56left-hand corner
05:57Flamengo leading 1-0
05:59here in the 60th minute
06:09and really not play a conservative brand
06:12but they will pack this thing in
06:13with a low block
06:16defensive lockdown of sorts
06:30won't need at least the offensive prowess of Pedro now
06:33who's out
06:34long ball here
06:36golden moment
06:37we'll find out
06:38who's going
06:40trying to find an equalizer
06:41played across
06:43bad post
06:44there it is
06:54a substitution that paid off
06:58Beneta who just came into the match
07:00check it out
07:01he pulled three different defenders his way
07:04and you now see everyone for Flamengo ball watching
07:08Beneta goes over the top
07:09Rossi got lost in translation
07:12and the end result
07:14was a vacated net
07:21excellent ball here
07:22from Beneta
07:25and he put this ball
07:27over the left-hand side
07:28and for Marlon
07:31of where the ball was touched
07:34and where Beneta
07:36and company
07:37were receiving it
07:38that looks to be onside
07:48it looked like
07:49at least
07:49on one
07:56Xeba Nueva
07:58makes his appearance
07:59on the corner
08:01Ruzo
08:01ooh
08:02bad balance
08:03could it go the other way
08:04no the shot was blocked
08:05nicely done
08:06and Buero
08:07getting in front of it
08:08ball outside the 18
08:10though another attempt
08:11good stop by Diaz
08:20Diaz was at least tracking
08:23chances in this match
08:25have not been frequent
08:26for Puzco
08:29shots are 14-12
08:30in fair of Flamengo
08:31and they have numbers
08:33with three on two
08:34right-hand side
08:35a good save by Diaz
08:37the rebound blocked
08:38a third crack
08:39and they score
08:44Kuzco looks
08:45completely gassed
08:47in this sequence
08:47and a three on two
08:48cannot happen
08:49this late
08:50initial shot
08:52and the second crack
08:53both rejected
08:55but Benedetti
08:56was not giving up
08:58on the third try
09:00what a great stop
09:01by Diaz
09:04Benedetti though
09:09will make the third
09:10attempt count
09:14and the Brazilians
09:15are going to prevail
