00:01It's on your screen. Deportivo Riestra on the left.
00:12The ball bouncing once again at the Arena del Grêmio after two match weeks away.
00:24Torque, domination on the ball is exactly what the hosts will be looking for.
00:31They found that in the first round against Torque, but were unable to find the back of the net.
00:40Again, it's a question of that effectiveness in the final third.
00:55Can they find the right passes in the right moments to break down the opposition?
01:01There has been a bit of rain here.
01:03That may just slow down the bouncing ball just a little bit.
01:08It'll be interesting to see how that affects Deportivo Riestra's game,
01:12especially with how quickly and directly they want to go.
01:20I think switched to the far side, but it'll be overhead.
01:29Join the club back in 2023.
01:32A shot from way out is wide of the post in the end.
01:36Still no signal.
01:41The effort on the half-volley from Flores, and it doesn't look like it.
01:47Cleared away, no whistle.
01:50Chance to recycle now.
01:52Pavon onto his right.
01:54He was looking for that top-right corner, but always knuckling wide.
01:59Christian Pavon.
02:02Some good footwork there.
02:04You can see the ball doesn't spin, just knuckles away from him.
02:09Don't know if he meant that.
02:17Promising opportunity.
02:18Deflected toward goal.
02:19And tipped over the crossbar.
02:23No see a lot of say.
02:24Cambrio Mech's effort nearly found its way into the back of the net.
02:27It was so well to turn away from the sliding challenge,
02:30and then takes that topspin heavy deflection
02:34from the outstretched leg of the defender, looping back.
02:37Was set to expire in this first half.
02:42As that was the final kick of the first 45 minutes.
02:47Fabian Valbuena in the center half.
02:50Thought he would go for it.
02:52And his honor is even through half number one.
02:59That's the end of the first 45 minutes.
03:01And Gremio Deportivo Riestra, no goals in the first half.
03:05Let's go to a break.
03:07We're going to the highlights, the stats, and so much more
03:10in the Express Halftime Show.
03:12So here's one advice.
03:13Don't move, because we're coming back with more.
03:42Decent looking opportunity.
03:44This Obrador vying for it valiantly.
03:47Saw a lot of that ball in the first half,
03:49but didn't have a lot of help with him.
03:52That traditional number nine role of playing out on an island.
03:58Did well to take his chances when he had them.
04:06As it is Dodi, Tete, and Gabriel Mech.
04:09Three players making way.
04:11So the winger on each side,
04:13and then a player in the center midfield.
04:34Here's an Amirano right into the action.
04:37Decent ball.
04:38Braithwaite was second to it.
04:49Whistle sounds, and this will likely be the first yellow card.
04:51No, it's a straight red.
04:56One, Ardonia sent off two minutes into the second half.
05:06There hasn't been a card all match,
05:08and the first one is a straight dismissal.
05:20Take a look again.
05:23And that's why you can see the studs are raised.
05:28The head is lowered.
05:37And Amirano gets the flip-flop and the space to drive.
05:41Needs to pick out the pass, and it's closed down.
05:45Again, Jose Amirano.
05:47Sets coming on, but so good.
05:49Draws the defender in, uses his pace to get by him.
05:53Unable to cut that back.
06:00Amozu, Amozu!
06:02What a save that is!
06:04A rocket from nowhere, and still alive in the box.
06:09Amozu's always having eyes for goal.
06:11It's a good save, from what I say.
06:14Again, not a lot of spin on the ball,
06:16just knuckling and dipping down.
06:19Some wild movement.
06:20Look how high the goalkeeper gets up to stop that one.
06:24And the second opportunity was flashed well wide.
06:32Preventing the Olimpico.
06:37Deportivo-Riestre going to try and build from the back.
06:39The challenge is late.
06:43This may be a yellow card, and it is.
06:52And he's second to that ball, and there's the trip,
06:54and there was a real chance at a promised encounter for the visitors.
07:03Amozu, actor, pavon, pavon!
07:10Dipping effort toward that near post.
07:14He thought about the shot at first, and then stepped into it a little bit later,
07:18when the angle wasn't as sweet.
07:21Well, wave play on for now.
07:25It'll be interesting to see if EAR will have a look at anything over there.
07:30Vinicius is still down, and now Morano into the box.
07:33Great cross.
07:33Pulled back!
07:34And rifled in by Amozu!
07:41And there is the goal that the hosts were longing for!
07:49Down to ten, maybe even nine,
07:52with Vinicius on the floor, and that or not,
07:55Inamorato has been so good since coming on.
07:58Beats two defenders.
07:59It's a perfect ball.
08:01Amozu checking back toward the top of the box.
08:03One-time finish, expertly placed.
08:07Just guiding it toward that top left corner.
08:10Nothing that Ignacio Arise can do.
08:14And that is a momentous sigh of relief
08:17from the Grêmio faithful.
08:21Look what it means to Francis Amozu.
08:2685% possession, 15 total shots.
08:30And they finally...
08:41Player tripped up, and the referee will whistle for the free kick.
08:45And it'll be a yellow card.
08:47Not even the opposition can calm him down.
08:50And it's certainly a foul there.
08:52It's a late trip.
08:58And it'll just stay there for now.
09:04A lot of turn now going down.
09:07Referee trying to calm things a bit.
09:10Not before...
09:12He draws another yellow card.
09:14Man introduced in the 84th minute.
09:19There's not much more he can do there,
09:21but it's contact that's high.
09:25Trying to...
09:29Appeals for handball.
09:32And the referee will whistle.
09:33And it's another free kick.
09:38Yellow card now to Jose Anamorado.
09:42Oh, look at this.
09:44His arm is way out there.
09:46It's absolutely a yellow card.
09:50Into the mixer.
09:52Bouncing around.
09:53Amozu gets away from the challenge.
09:55And he's got some real speed.
09:57Three-on-two opportunity for Grêmio.
09:59Arce out of his area.
10:00Amozu for his brace.
10:02Saved by the goalkeeper.
10:04In front of him.
10:09Let's just look at the chance.
10:10The tactical foul there.
10:12Unable to stop the charging.
10:14Francis Amozu.
10:15Had options to his right.
10:17Elected to take it himself.
10:18That touch there.
10:19Takes it away from goal.
10:22Grêmio may still get a chance to do so here.
10:25And Amorado going down.
10:28And a few players from the Grêmio bench
10:30are not happy.
10:34Referee will go through a yellow card.
10:37And see what I say.
10:38May have saved it with his skull.
10:40Certainly a painful one.
10:48And that will do it.
10:51Listen to the cheers around the stadium.
10:56Grêmio have gotten their win
10:58in the Coterno Cine Americana.
11:01The first in all competitions.
11:06And at the end of the game.
11:08And with this, Grêmio.
11:10They did a job.
11:12They won.
11:13One heel against Deportivo Riestra.
11:16Even when they are not very happy.
11:18The Argentine side,
11:19they are not very happy.
11:21We'll see you next time.
11:22We'll see you next time.
11:22We'll see you next time.
11:22We'll see you next time.
11:23We'll see you next time.
11:25We'll see you next time.
11:25We'll see you next time.
11:25We'll see you next time.
11:26We'll see you next time.
11:26We'll see you next time.
11:27We'll see you next time.
11:28We'll see you next time.
