00:04And we're underway here in Asuncion.
00:07Cerro Porteo hosting Conor Barranquilla.
00:10Match day two in Group F of the Copa Libertadores.
00:14History here on the side of the home team.
00:17Two teams have played each other in the Copa Libertadores
00:19four times in the past, and whoever's playing at home has always won.
00:23Can that record hold tonight?
00:25I'm Ewan Marshall, I'll be your commentator for this one.
00:28I'm delighted to have you along with us.
00:31As we see Cerro Porteo in possession, lobbing the ball forward,
00:35Robert Piri da Marta.
00:39We'll see how the home side, the Ciclon,
00:44how they fare against the Sharks of Conor Barranquilla.
00:49And there's the aforementioned coach Ariel Holland,
00:53coaching the home side.
00:56Well known for winning the Copa Sudamericana for Independiente in 2017.
01:04Highly respected coach.
01:06He's been around South America quite a bit.
01:09A success.
01:11Quite a few clubs definitely left.
01:13Good reputation, early chance for Cerro Porteo.
01:16And when you look at the push comes to shove and the duels,
01:20which are really important in games like this,
01:21it's Cerro Porteo that have the upper hand at the moment.
01:24Here's an opportunity for the wayside.
01:26Jimmy Chara gets to the byline.
01:31Just lost possession there at the crucial moment.
01:35And it is well.
01:38Some good defending this time from Monson.
01:41Good tackle look like.
01:42But when you're coming forward again,
01:44chance for Suarez, he cuts it back.
01:46Perez.
01:48Goes himself, going for the strike.
01:50Saved by the feet of Alexis Arias.
01:53Carded for that.
01:55Tackle earlier.
02:00Perez does really well just to turn and dribble infield.
02:05Once he's inside the box, he knows that was how we'll ask it.
02:09And Robert.
02:10Some good defending this time from Monson.
02:14Great tackle look like.
02:15But when you're coming forward again,
02:16chance for Suarez.
02:17He cuts it back.
02:19Perez.
02:20Goes himself, going for the strike.
02:22Saved by the feet of Alexis Arias.
02:27There's a first clear opportunity of the match.
02:34A real attacking overload there on the left side.
02:40Getting the players forward.
02:42And briefly, Edgar Paz with some contact.
02:47Torres.
02:48Terro Porteño on the attack here.
02:52Maybe looking for a final flourish.
02:57We've got just over ten minutes left in the first half.
03:02Lobbed out to the right hand side.
03:05Torres.
03:07Back to Velasquez.
03:08Back to Velasquez.
03:08He goes for the deep cross of the far post.
03:09It's going all the way through.
03:12Huge opportunity there.
03:14What's happening now?
03:17Back to that chance there Velasquez.
03:18It's a great cross of the far post.
03:20I don't think Chaparro thinks that he's going to get to it until the last minute.
03:23He's got quite a lot of space.
03:26He really can do a lot better.
03:30It's a great cross from Velasquez and Chaparro just ghosts in there.
03:36Vejetti.
03:38Monzon keeping an eye on him.
03:41The cross this time coming in from Edgar Paz with the right foot.
03:45Decent delivery.
03:46Peña does well just ahead that clear.
03:48Could this be an opportunity?
03:50Here's Teogotierrez.
03:50He's got Peña, the centre-back, on his right side.
03:55It is out too.
03:57Peña takes a touch.
03:59Teogotierrez hits the crossbar.
04:02The centre-back just marauded up the field.
04:05And that little cross just makes it all the way through.
04:10Teogotierrez with the left foot.
04:12Just had to really hit the target there.
04:17Came back off the crossbar.
04:19Huge chance for Honior.
04:27We've only got a few minutes left in the first half.
04:32Booking for a member of the technical commission of Honior.
04:38As the referee brings an end to the first half.
04:45In the Estadio Bueno, La Nueva Oya.
04:49In Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay.
04:53Zero partenho, nil.
04:54Junior, Barranquilla, nil.
04:59A little bit of on Jabarchi here at the end of the half, nil.
05:02After 45, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:04Some pushing and shoving there.
05:07Referee trying to get him in control before he came to the locker room.
05:12Oh, here we go.
05:15Junior players upset.
05:16A little bit of pushing and shoving.
05:18Going to the referee, going to the goalie.
05:21Hopefully it doesn't come to more.
05:26Cooler hits prevailing, but this is not a good look.
05:33As the second half gets underway in Asuncion.
05:38Zero partenho, nil.
05:40Ponyon, nil.
05:42Matchday two of the Comic-Ball Copa Libertadores.
05:46Plenty at stake here.
05:51As teams have played each other four times in the history of the Copa Libertadores.
05:55And at every single occasion the home side has won.
06:00I wonder if that is going to continue.
06:07Early opportunity here for Triovic.
06:16On the cross here, Pepetti looking for it.
06:28In front by Chaparro.
06:31and Cerro Porteño are able to bring this one away, Morel, Torres' pass is blocked,
06:40but it's in space, now for Perez, what can Junio do here, Teo Gutierrez, well won by Perez,
06:50maybe Cerro Porteño can have a breakdown, there's Torres, some options ahead of him,
06:56needs movement though, it's got by chance for Junio Torres, a lovely finish from the number 27,
07:09and Cerro Porteño take the lead at this critical point in the match,
07:13Porteño have the lead here, Torres that brings it forward, gets the little reverse pass from Perez,
07:28just swept into the back of the net, it's a great finish,
07:44such a crucial point in the game, we saw Junio preparing two substitutes,
07:53Peña, thinking about the shot, is that going to bounce through, is he onside?
08:00He was onside, we'll have to see this one again, no offside at all, lead through and Castrillon,
08:07he's claiming of a little push from Perez there, not much in the way of shots on target for either
08:12side,
08:15Peña just losing out there to Peña, Peña was down, Peña is going to see a yellow card,
08:28Peña that was down, why else would, one year, look to see,
08:34Porteño just about to confirm that, there's Moriel, space enough for Castrillon,
08:40if he can get there first, he can, bearing down on goal, that's a great recovery from Matthias,
08:46as we see the opportunity, great first touch from Castrillon, and you see he just gets his foot in there,
08:55it seems like it's a lost cause, it's a great interception, Castrillon,
09:18and the back post, it's a great save, if I can take a look at this, look at Vejeti just
09:26ghosting in at the back post,
09:29it's, it's an excellent header, and it's just a superb save from Alvaro Silveira,
09:35with that outstretched left arm, almost saves it with his tricep almost,
09:45you can see throughout the game, just off stoppage time, and there we have it,
09:53an excellent win for Cerro Porteño, in match day two of Grupo F of the Copa Libertadores,
10:02Cerro Porteño won, Junior Barranquilla, nil,
10:10to get the three points to the Jordan Torres goal,
10:14and made a 57, Cerro Porteño, with a 1-0 win.
10:27We'll see you next time.
