00:00Sides out onto the pitch is Botafogo versus Caracas in match day one
00:07Group E of the Comic-Ball Copa Sudamericana
00:13And we are underway in the Stadion Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, Botafogo
00:28It was up for Danilo here as Marcin's onside in possession
00:35Foster Botero and the referee is pointed to the penalty spot
00:41That seems like there's really not much in that Eduardo Ferreira seems to get the ball first
00:50This angle might tell us a bit more
00:56And looks like the referee's being called over so I suggest that this is not going to be
01:02To look at an offside I think the VAR lines can do a better job of that than he can
01:09It's going to be for the foul itself I think from a couple of those angles that we saw
01:16It didn't look like a foul at all there was one angle I think that maybe you would see some
01:21contact
01:25If VAR is recommending that Kevin Ortega have a look at this and potentially change his decision
01:33VAR is not guilty here and that this penalty will be chalked off
01:47It's going to take a scene all he has to see let's see his decision
02:02No penalty
02:04He had a close look at it I think
02:08It was really 50-50
02:11Vicinho
02:13Rodriguez it's a nice pass
02:15Vicinho tries another reversal trying to be a little bit too cute there I think and now
02:20Caracas have numbers
02:21These are the moments that we were talking about earlier they have to take their chances here Correa
02:26Vigueroa goes for the shot and Aou had to deal with that
02:36A rasping right foot shot
02:40Howe obviously can't be letting those in that is near pause but he still that's a save that he had
02:44to make
02:50It'll be Michael Covea to take this right-footed
02:57But takers just goes over gonzalez but it's a chance at the back pose for caracas and it's in the
03:01back of the nets
03:03It's a lovely finish from wilfrid correa
03:07And it's caracas fc who take the lead in the stadion nilton santos in janeiro botafogo shell-shocked
03:20First corner of the game goes all the way through
03:24Only half cleared correa
03:27Just aims for the far post
03:31It's a lovely finish good touch of control
03:34He's under no pressure picks his spot
03:37And Howell is quite some distance away from it
03:43That is
03:47And there we go he talked about the
03:50Cacophony of boos that we would have if the results stayed the same at half time there you have it
03:57Arturo cabral the number 19 will get the second half
04:01He gets the second half underway but the fogo now shooting from right to left initially
04:09Right your way there Arturo cabral getting a little flick on
04:28And see exactly how this change will play out
04:32I would expect cabral to be the setter forward
04:35He gets the third junior santos that might come out to the right hand side
04:41Montoro on the left where he's most comfortable
04:45And then it's caracas spreading the ball around well
04:48Because lizzama goes for the shot
04:50Goes for the shot
04:51Paolo has to deal with it and that's another shot on target for caracas
04:56Early now in the second half
04:59Vichino
05:03Barboza.
05:06We heard the cacophony of boos from the home fans at the end of the first half.
05:13They're demanding something more for their side.
05:17The only player with a yellow card at the moment. Vicino.
05:21Cuts inside.
05:22Looks for the cross that's not going to make it.
05:26Over to Kyle Hockey.
05:28Is Danilo in a little bit of space but is a bit too long for Vicino.
05:34I think that's really symptomatic of Botafogo's performance so far in this game.
05:39Someone like Danilo usually so clean and crisp in his passing.
05:44And wayward.
05:47So far in this one.
05:50You see Botafogo pushing their block really high up.
05:57They know that Caracas play these short goal kicks.
06:01They can recycle possession from that offside against Sebastian Gonzalez.
06:07Botafogo get things started again quickly.
06:10Rodriguez.
06:12And wayward to Montoro.
06:16Iowa Hawke.
06:19Barbosa.
06:21Allen.
06:24Back to Barbosa moving the ball around here is Montoro the 18 year old Argentinian.
06:30Chips it forward looking for Danilo who arrives late.
06:32Chance there for Junior Santos.
06:34Artur Cabral is there.
06:36And there's the equalizer.
06:39That's the start of the second half.
06:40Botafogo are needing.
06:42Artur Cabral just off the bench.
06:45One of his first touches.
06:48Since coming on.
06:50He's turning the ball into the back of the net.
06:53See that forward run from Danilo there.
06:55A bit of an element of surprise does really well to cut that across.
06:58You thought that Junior Santos would have been able to put that away.
07:01But it fell very kindly to Artur Cabral.
07:08Makes no mistake from that position.
07:14Goalkeeper just let that slip.
07:20It's Hernandez just off the bench.
07:23Allen.
07:24Danilo.
07:26A lovely through ball.
07:28Allen.
07:28Trying to find some space.
07:29Montoro.
07:30Danilo.
07:31Goes for the shot himself.
07:32Goalkeeper does well to palm that away.
07:36Goalward.
07:38As we see.
07:39Danilo's.
07:40Left footed shot there.
07:41Placed.
07:43Little give and go.
07:44With Montoro.
07:45But Montoro.
07:47Goes back down.
07:48Allen's ball to the back post there.
07:50Mateo Bonte.
07:51Almost around.
07:52Herrera gets there ahead of Correa.
07:55There's Danilo.
07:56Another poor pass from Danilo.
07:58But he gets it again.
07:59Lovely little dummy.
08:00Artur Cabral with a chance to put Votafogo in the lead.
08:03That comes off the crossbar.
08:06Votafogo just starting to put some passes together.
08:13Cabral's left footed shot.
08:20Goalkeeper was beaten.
08:22To him.
08:26Well just shaves off the crossbar and out.
08:31That's much better from Votafogo point of view.
08:36There's Ponte.
08:38There's Ponte.
08:40This one's inside.
08:42Vince Montoro.
08:44Ain't no options ahead of him.
08:46Danilo.
08:47Was caught to Ponte.
08:48Back heel from the right back.
08:50Still with Ponte.
08:52Cacophony booze that the home fans in the stadio.
08:57Nilton Santos will provide.
09:02There's a couple of minutes left.
09:05Will there be one last chance for Votafogo on either side.
09:11Going long towards Berriot.
09:12He manages to flick it on chance for Barrera.
09:14Can he finish?
09:15It's saved by Francaels Benitez.
09:21We see that opportunity through to Jordan Barrera.
09:26Tries to place it.
09:27Look at that positioning.
09:28Almost like an ice hockey style.
09:31There's Cabraldo.
09:33Final minute of stoppage time.
09:35Hernandez.
09:38And that just fizzles out completely.
09:40This was Quintero.
09:43Astros plays it forward.
09:45And I think the referee is going to bring an end to it right now.
09:48He is.
09:49As the boos ring out at the stadion.
09:52Nilton Santos.
09:55It finishes.
09:56Botafogo one.
09:57Caracas one.
