00:01is now besides emerge from the tunnel here at Villa Belmiro
00:12Santos kicks us off and away we go for match day two of Conmebol Sudamericana here
00:18live from Villa Belmiro apparently try and focus on getting back into the Apertura back home
00:29in the Division de Honor Paraguay Primera Division sitting currently in eighth out of 12 teams in the league
00:42after 16 matches gone they have a negative goal difference they were defeated away to
00:49Sportivo Luceno on Saturday and so it's a team of backups here on the road
00:58in the Villa Belmiro here tonight there's a good enterprising run forward from the visitors
01:04thumbs up from Hector Lopez made that darting diagonal run from right to left and
01:10just forced a mistake at the back able to shield it out of play for the game's first corner
01:22in towards the top of the six and away by William Arau
01:27picked up by Fernando Galliano dribbling himself into a bit of danger and there can be numbers up here
01:33for Santos Neymar getting it to his left Gabigol to the byline trying to cut it back for Neymar
01:45the two stars combined for Santos it's a perfect start to the evening inside four minutes
01:54Santos lead one nil and who else
02:02Neymar starts to move and he finishes it off
02:09a mistake in the center of the part from Recoleta and from then
02:14Santos were looking dangerous little stutter step from Gabriel and he puts it on a platter
02:20Neymar gobbling it up as he wanted it the desire at the back stick shielding off the defender
02:27and a simple tap-in finish for Neymar
02:31and Villa Belmiro bumping
02:36after that Neymar opener
02:44here he is once more getting on the ball for the all-whites of Santos here tonight
02:51now unable to return but on the spin now Gabriel Bontempo has an option to his right
03:00that's Gabriel
03:04now Gabriel Bontempo sidestepping an opponent drop back for Igor Vinicius
03:15lovely interchange Neymar tries to stab at it it falls kindly
03:20running onto it was Gabriel Bontempo well saved by Oscar Toledo
03:28fresh off inking a contract extension the young 21 year olds it's been with the club
03:35for just 10 years is all joined as an 11 year olds and has been rewarded he was best 11
03:43in the tournament that year and scored in the final as well that was his first career goal
03:49for defense justicia so he knows how to pick his moments here he is with his ears burning stepping
03:54in Frias wins it it falls to Neymar chip over the top for Gabriel Barboza
04:00in the season as we look at this fabulous one-touch passing he's well on side with the stab
04:08over the shoulder on the bounce so difficult a technique getting involved with Gabriel Bontempo
04:16and he just expects what would have been a stunning Neymar assists and that would have been as well
04:27the connection growing the team Gabriel Barboza
04:34again always catching headlines he'll make one for the goal tonight he was in the headlines this week
04:39poured an interest from major league soccer and specifically FC Cincinnati
04:48maybe not the name that many would have expected to have come forward in pursuit as oh there's a mistake
04:57at the back goalkeepers off his line it's just what Neymar
05:05it was pressure that forced the error from the goalkeeper well won by Gustavo Enrique
05:13Neymar took it early which he was right to do
05:20just saw it spin wide of the posts
05:27great anticipation from the 21 year old Gustavo Enrique
05:32and the goalkeeper
05:36yelling at those in front of him despite the mistake from the man wearing the gloves
05:43off the thigh of Neymar kept alive back it goes to the number 10
05:54penalty to Recoleta and out of nowhere a chance for los canarios to level the score
06:03they've hardly had a kick in the attacking half
06:06yet to score
06:07yet to score in his sudamericana career he had three games with general caballero back in 2022
06:16this is a huge moment in his life ortiz steps up ortiz buries the penalty
06:22and Recoleta out of nowhere are back on level terms right on the cusp of halftime what a moment
06:33for los canarios
06:37the whole squad over to celebrates in the corner
06:42they have scored away to santos in their first ever trip away from home in continental football
06:53Gabriel Brasau
06:57has been a spectator through the entire first half he went the wrong way
07:01as richard ortiz scores his first
07:05Fernando vejar not adding any on despite much of that stoppage time being in stoppage
07:11and there are questions from the referee but the questions will have to go towards luan pettish
07:17a moment of madness at the end of the first half
07:20as neymar opened the scoring in the fourth minute a free-flowing santos move on the counter
07:26and it's all square to begin the second half 1-1 as they've switched ends and the visitors from
07:33parahuayi kick things off from left to right here
07:36lena rau finding neymar ducking past the defender still with neymar leaving it
07:41we got real ball tempo
07:46that's been part of the stutter starts of the season now santos
07:51neymar turning into space to his left he's got miguelito good ball in powerful downward header
07:57cleared up the line still loose and a second header there to clear it away for recolleta
08:04immediate impact from the santos subs miguelito with a teasing ball to the back stick
08:14was it rollheiser arriving
08:17indeed it was he did exactly what he should have powerful downward header into the turf
08:23off the lovely cross from miguelito
08:28the two subs near the combining to put santos in front but a recolleta defending with their
08:38one-two rafael gonzaga does find miguelito swerving inside the defender miguelito one-two with
08:44neymar into the area he goes right at the near post and right at the goalkeeper
08:49oscar toledo holds securely at his near posts
08:53did so well miguelito in the build-up
08:57continuing his run on and you see what he's trying to do just curl it into the far post but
09:02instead
09:04he didn't get enough curl around it
09:18fizzed in for neymar he sneaks it through traffic plenty of space for rafael gonzaga
09:24side-stepping an opponent rafael gonzaga deep cross in settled by rollheiser still with rollheiser
09:33having to hand things off to free us back for rollheiser he can turn rollheiser
09:39and now gustavo enrique
09:42plenty of white shirts to aim at and it goes towards the penalty spot and away by recolleta
09:48coming back diaz gets a touch to keep it alive rollheiser
09:53neymar just off the mark looking for miguelito but pressure there now with miguelito slipping it
09:58in towards neymar crucial intervention long range rip and down to the right to leto makes the save
10:05floated up towards the back stick to leto just on the down jump really as we get a look back
10:12at that
10:12crucial intervention from pareda and then a fine stop from toledo
10:19what a slide challenge from the number four and it fell so kindly to rafael gonzaga who had stars in
10:25his eyes the young man was dreaming of his first goal for santos denied by that april 14 1912
10:37do they have a birthday present in store neymar the ball in free us
10:42sends his header wide down to his right recolleta they find a second shot in the match
10:51could they replicate the end of the first half for the stoppage time goal here in the second we've
10:55already seen two
10:59whistle rings out and boos ring outs across villa belmido a disappointing night
11:08for the paise of santos they had the early lead through neymar and look to be off and running
11:14for their first three points of the competition
