00:05There's the opening whistle and we are rolling in Rio de Janeiro tonight at the Estadio San
00:10Januario. It was miscued but another chance falls here for Vasco on the edge of the area trying to
00:17work the space for a right-footed shot but that space couldn't be created. We're over 10 minutes
00:22in. Interesting opening to this match. Free kick now as the play is pulled back from that earlier
00:28foul. Opportunity for him tonight. Guy's come up through the academy. Let's see. He's made
00:37up his mind Hernan Heras. He's reaching for the pocket. It looks as though he's only pulling
00:48out the yellow card. It is just a yellow.
01:06It's Italiano shouting for a foul. This is going to be a second yellow and that's going
01:11to be the end of the night now for João Pedro. He was nearly sent off in the 15th minute.
01:17Let's look at it again.
01:25Into the box this goes. Heads rise. It's chested down and whacked wide of that far post.
01:31Esteban Matusk, the closest either side has come to a goal in this first half. He took
01:36it down well off the chest and hit it well with the left foot. Second ball falling to him
01:42and wasn't quite able to steer it inside that far post. Does well to get something on it
01:49after that high bounce was awkward to receive. He did it well.
02:04is
02:21the
02:29Now down this right side, is there something late for Puma Rodriguez and for Vasco da Gama?
02:34And Rodriguez to the back post, and they score!
02:38And the ten men of Vasco da Gama open the scoring in first half stoppage time.
02:45And it is Brenner who taps it home with the back stick.
02:49And the home support in block and white can celebrate just before halftime.
03:05Adak's Italiano players emphatic that the goal shouldn't have stood.
03:12Of course the VAR will check all phases of it to make sure.
03:19And there is halftime.
03:21Well, it looked as though the first half was headed for a goalless conclusion
03:24until Brenner popped up at the back stick after good work by Puma Rodriguez.
03:30So it will be the home side.
03:31Vasco da Gama will kick things back off in this second half
03:35as they are in the black and the white attacking from right to left.
03:40taking his own personal hydration break.
03:43Make a chat with his head coach over on the touchline for a moment.
03:48Yet Renato Gaucho, the manager of this Vasco da Gama side,
03:54of a handful of peoples who have won a Copa Libertadores as both a player and a manager,
03:59did both with Gremio, 1983 as a player, 2017 as a manager,
04:05as this foul has given a free kick to Vasco da Gama.
04:14There he is, Renato Gaucho.
04:17Quite a career as a player and a manager.
04:19Won many, many trophies as a player, not just with Gremio, but multiple others.
04:26Gremio, Flamengo, Cruzairo, Fluminense played for many of the big clubs in Brazil,
04:32though he never played for Vasco da Gama.
04:36He's also managed Fluminense and Gremio.
04:39As this goes toward the back post, and the header has to be tipped around that post,
04:43and this will be the first corner of the night for Vasco.
04:47Delivery was solid. Spinelli got up for it.
04:53Can't miss him with those blonde locks.
04:56He forced the save out of Tomas Ahumada.
05:00Memorable victory.
05:02This one hung up into the area.
05:04They win first contact, and it's just wide.
05:07Wrong side of the post.
05:08Half the crowd thought it was in.
05:21Rebolledo.
05:22So many crosses from Aldax Italiano over these opening 60 minutes
05:26that haven't been able to beat the first defender.
05:55Now a chance to break for Vasco.
05:58Looking for support on that right side.
06:01Puma Rodriguez sliding it down that right flank.
06:05Spinelli wanted it early into the box.
06:10Out of the end line and stood up in the direction of Spinelli.
06:14To this back post area.
06:17Out of the top of the box.
06:18Left-footed strike.
06:19Great block.
06:21Now Italiano the other direction.
06:26End-to-end we go in Rio de Janeiro.
06:30Both shots on target in the match belonging to the home side.
06:33Cross to the back side.
06:34Great chance.
06:35They score.
06:37Aldax Italiano.
06:38Our level.
06:39Just past the hour mark.
06:41Up a man.
06:42Now even on goals.
06:44It's 1-1 in Rio de Janeiro.
06:49And one of their biggest goals in their recent history.
06:53And one of their biggest continental matches in their recent history.
06:56Their traveling supporters can go crazy in that corner.
07:00And what a final half an hour we have now.
07:05All about this work on this right side.
07:07And the persistence by Trojanski.
07:09And his cross in.
07:10After so many poor crosses tonight.
07:11That one was inch perfect.
07:13And they caught Vasco up the pitch.
07:17And there was room on that back post.
07:20For a stooping diving header that was perfectly placed into that corner.
07:29So one goal each in the final 15 minutes of this one.
07:32Is there a winner to be had?
07:34This is a good run down the right.
07:37And the cross in toward the near post.
07:39It hit the post.
07:40And then it spins wide.
07:42Paolo Enrique with this great run down the right flank.
07:45And he created chaos.
07:46And then it was touched onto the post.
07:49It's actually a really good save by Ahumada to get something on it.
07:53Watch him get that left hand just down quickly enough to deny Pumbo Rodriguez.
08:06Assists late in the first half.
08:07Nearly picked up a goal there.
08:15Now the corner.
08:28Long ball to the top of the area.
08:30And shouts for a penalty there.
08:33Frey now blows the whistle.
08:35The flag is up for offside.
08:39Contacts Italiano were claiming their man was wrestled down.
08:42If he was in an offside position first it wouldn't matter.
08:48And he has been summoned to the pitch side monitor.
08:51Hernan Jarras.
08:59This is a possible penalty for Alex Italiano.
09:03We'll see.
09:04Here's what he's being shown.
09:06So apparently the first phase of play has been deemed to be onside.
09:10And so therefore this is what's being looked at.
09:15He has made up his mind one way or the other.
09:17And let's find out.
09:18It's a penalty.
09:19Penalty for Alex Italiano.
09:28Oh, the Vasco players are incensed.
09:30But the decision has been made.
09:33And Alex Italiano are going to have a spot kick
09:36with a chance to grab a late lead here in Brazil.
09:39And a red card has been shown as well.
09:41That's for Alex Italiano on a continental stage.
09:45On Brazilian soil.
09:46It is Franco Trojanski who scores
09:50and gives out Alex Italiano a late lead in Rio.
10:02And those traveling supporters are in tears.
10:06Tears of joy.
10:08And will they be tears of victory in just a handful of minutes?
10:12Trojanski has given them every chance of that now
10:14with a perfectly placed penalty.
10:16that was probably unsavable
10:18even if Jardim had gone the right way.
10:23He'd already picked his spot.
10:25Knew exactly where he was putting it
10:27and then put it right there.
10:29In the 90th minute now.
10:32We're expecting a lengthy amount of stoppage time.
10:35This is lost and there's no foul given.
10:38And now the nine of Vasco
10:40will try to attack and salvage an unlikely equalizer.
10:46Odax Italiano think they've done enough.
10:49They have done enough.
10:50They have done it indeed in Rio.
10:53Odax Italiano of Chile.
10:55A proud historic club.
