00:00One of South America's most historic venues were underway in Montevideo City, Tordicchi, against Gremio.
00:07Match day one, the group phase of this year's Copa Sudamericana.
00:18Montevideo City, Tordicchi wearing their usual sky blue.
00:24And Gremio in a change to their usual strip.
00:29They're white with light blue hints.
00:34And with right to left, an early touch for Eric Noriega, the Karuvian international.
00:44All forwards.
00:48Looking for that run of Vrachelme.
00:52Let's take a look at Marcelo Mendes.
00:57Been in charge since last July.
01:01Approaching a year back in Uruguay.
01:04After a spell in Argentina with Jimnasia.
01:08First long throw sent into the box, headed away by Siles.
01:16Prenio looking to apply some early pressure.
01:18Chance to cross here for Marcos Rocha.
01:20Flicked away to the edge of the area and helped away by Obrinigon.
01:25Obrinigon lays the ball back and then darts off down the right again.
01:28But instead will be helped out by Aguero.
01:31Aguero coming forward from right back.
01:33Space on the edge of the area to shoot.
01:34That's a wonderful save by Weatherton.
01:37Super stop.
01:38With the effort really well worked into the space.
01:42And that looked destined for the top corner.
01:48Fingertip stop from the veteran keeper.
01:51Hundred appearances in the Copa Libertadores.
01:55This year for a change.
01:57Weatherton playing in the Sudamericana.
01:59And making his first Enamorado.
02:02Skips away.
02:03Down the left.
02:05Huts back onto his right foot.
02:06Finds the cross.
02:07Good delivery.
02:08Nearly found Raquelme.
02:09Falls at the back post.
02:10Tete fires just wide.
02:12By the quick feet.
02:14Of Jose Enamorado.
02:20Nice real sign of danger.
02:23Ball's broken in behind here for Braithwaite.
02:25Can he find the angle for the shot?
02:27He's still going Braithwaite.
02:28He's brought down a penalty.
02:33It's a long ball forward.
02:35It actually flicks off the head of Romero.
02:38To release Braithwaite.
02:40And from here.
02:41As he takes an extra touch.
02:44It's almost a touch that says.
02:48Go on.
02:49Make contact.
02:52I'm looking for that penalty.
02:54And Montez takes the bait.
02:56It's clumsy.
02:57Very clumsy for Montez.
03:03Braithwaite's extra touch.
03:05Makes it actually more difficult for him to find the finish.
03:08To go and win that penalty.
03:10And any striker would do the same thing.
03:12And is going to prompt a VAR review.
03:18And even if he is looking for it.
03:19And goes down softly.
03:23I'm inclined to think.
03:32There he is.
03:34No penalty awarded.
03:37Enamorado with a turn.
03:39Can't prevent it from running out of play.
03:41However.
03:41And that's it.
03:42Another.
03:44Silly challenge from Siles.
03:46Is.
03:51Enamorado.
03:56Score's still locked at 0-0.
03:59And it's giving it away.
04:00It's a big mistake.
04:01A chance here.
04:02Braithwaite denied by the goalkeeper.
04:05What a mistake.
04:07Passed straight to the former Barca man.
04:10Keeper out of position as well then.
04:12Donacioli.
04:13Just about gets back into position.
04:15To make that block.
04:23Now.
04:25On Noriega.
04:26Card coming out here.
04:28And it's a red card.
04:30Noriega's been sent off.
04:33He's under control of the ball.
04:36Rodriguez steps in.
04:37To make the challenge.
04:38And it's.
04:38On the follow through.
04:40As Noriega looks to play the ball.
04:43That he catches Salomon Rodriguez.
04:46High on that leg.
04:47With the studs.
04:50And for the second time.
04:51In this half.
04:53Ustel Aragon is being told.
04:55To come across.
04:56And check the monitor.
05:01In a Barcelona game.
05:03In La Liga.
05:04In similar kind of circumstances.
05:06Red card.
05:07Not given.
05:08Atletico Madrid.
05:14He is.
05:16Red card.
05:19Will be rescinded.
05:21Ground.
05:22Deep in stoppage time.
05:24Waiting for that whistle to go.
05:25With that.
05:26Right on cue.
05:27The whole strategy gone.
05:28Does indeed bring the first half to an end.
05:32Montevideo.
05:33City Torque nil.
05:35Gremio nil.
05:36VAR.
05:36Involved twice.
05:38Two big moments.
05:41Penalty awarded to Gremio.
05:42When Martin Braithwaite was sent tumbling.
05:46Reversed.
05:48Upon review.
05:49And a red card.
05:49Given to Eric Noriega.
05:51Of Gremio.
05:52Reversed.
05:52Upon review.
05:53Was nil nil.
05:55And 11 v 11.
05:55With everything still to play for.
05:57Into the second half.
05:58And the team.
06:00The Daps left.
06:00Particularly happy.
06:01With the referee.
06:02As a result.
06:03Of Agustin Aragon.
06:05Who will feel as though.
06:07Even if he did get them.
06:08Wrong initially.
06:10After watching.
06:11Back the replays.
06:12Not things right.
06:13In the end.
06:14Little between the two sides.
06:16Otherwise.
06:18Lack of.
06:20Looking back on really clear chances.
06:22But the players.
06:24Continue.
06:25To debate.
06:26We are back underway.
06:28At the Estadio Centenario.
06:30Montereus is the Torquenil.
06:32Gremio nil.
06:37Three points.
06:39To start the group phase.
06:40Up for grabs.
06:42And three points.
06:44Would be enough.
06:44To go.
06:45Is that right?
06:45Leaders of the group.
06:46After match day one.
06:47After the earlier draw.
06:48This evening.
06:48Between Deportivo Riestra.
06:50And Palestino.
06:51In Buenos Aires.
06:52The home team.
06:52On the attack early.
06:54Kahneman blocks.
06:56And.
06:56Artur Melo clears.
06:58For Gremio.
06:59No changes made.
07:00By the manager.
07:00At half time.
07:11Artur again.
07:13Going to pass forwards.
07:14And an early free kick awarded to Gremio.
07:17Close to half way.
07:18He'll be hoping to.
07:19And.
07:20Los Siles.
07:21Again.
07:22Gets the diagonal out to Obregón.
07:24Brings the ball under control.
07:26Nice little layoff.
07:27Shooting chance.
07:28And it's the lead.
07:29Montevideo City Torquen.
07:32Minutes after the restart.
07:34Take the lead.
07:35And it's a fabulous finish.
07:38From Aguero.
07:46Obregón's been the danger man.
07:48In the first half.
07:49And he does brilliantly here.
07:50To wait.
07:51And spot the run.
07:53Of Eduardo Aguero.
07:55But doesn't the full back.
07:57Take it well.
07:59Scored the winner.
08:00Against Defensor Sporting.
08:01In the last round.
08:03And opens the scoring.
08:05Here again.
08:05Against Gremio.
08:06Top.
08:17And yesterday we saw.
08:18Fluminense.
08:19Fail to win.
08:20In the Libertadores.
08:24Saved by Weverton.
08:28Against Barraca Central.
08:30It's not been a great.
08:32Opening week.
08:33For the Brazilian sides.
08:34Across the group phases.
08:39Out wide.
08:40Onto the right.
08:41For Obregón.
08:41Obregón looks to beat.
08:43Calpilisto.
08:43He does so.
08:44Down the right.
08:44Pulls the ball back.
08:45Into the box.
08:46Piscicello turns his man.
08:47Shooting chance.
08:49Glorious chance.
08:50To double the lead.
08:53Flashes.
08:54Across the face.
08:54A goal.
08:56Well Piscicello.
08:58In almost one move.
09:00Sells the entire defense.
09:02The dummy.
09:03Opens the space.
09:05For the shot.
09:06And then fails to work.
09:07And then fails to work.
09:07Weatherton.
09:09That could have been the moment.
09:13Out at the feet.
09:15Of an unrushing forward.
09:16To make the block.
09:33Still trying to find a way into the box.
09:35It's just too congested.
09:37So many back now.
09:40The City Torque.
09:41A lot of attackers as well.
09:42Through the middle.
09:43No real way through.
09:51This was the chance.
09:53Some minutes ago.
09:55As the ball broken behind.
09:57For Andre Enrique.
09:57One and one.
09:59And a good stop.
09:59By Franco Donasioli.
10:04Similar save to the one that he.
10:06Tonight.
10:07He's back the other way.
10:08With Solomon Rodriguez.
10:09He's hauled down.
10:12And even alone in the attack.
10:13He's.
10:14Enough of a handful.
10:15To cause problems.
10:19Galliman complaining of a.
10:21Little dig.
10:22A little elbow.
10:23From Solomon Rodriguez.
10:25Certainly clever.
10:27Straight into the hand.
10:28To Franco Donasioli.
10:31And with that.
10:32The full time whistle goes.
10:34It's a big big win.
10:35From Montevideo City.
10:37Torque.
10:37They defeat.
10:38Gremio.
10:39By a goal to nil.
10:40Eduardo Aguero.
10:41Early in the second half.
10:43Striking.
10:44For the Uruguayans.
