00:12It's the first ever meeting between San Lorenzo of Argentina and Deportivo Cuenca of Ecuador.
00:22Match day number two, and it gets started with a cross that comes right across the sixth.
00:28...as Gonzalo Abrego found some space on that left-hand side after getting the through.
00:36For Deportivo Cuenca, looking to build for the first time into the final third.
00:42The shot from distance well wide, though, and off the mark from David Gonzalez.
00:49A 22-year-old from Argentina back in his home country here tonight.
00:56A lot of red and blue behind the ball.
00:59Far side, opportunity for Mencinelli.
01:02He falls down, and then the shot bounces in harmlessly on heel.
01:08Committing that last foul.
01:09San Lorenzo trying to take advantage here.
01:13Crossed in.
01:14Trappicchio towards the back post, and he heads that one almost into the top corner.
01:19Terrific save from Fagundo Ferraro, his first stop of the night.
01:29And the captain rifles it, going for that near post, but heel up was not fooled.
01:35The keeper in his third year here with San Lorenzo makes his first stop.
01:43And Cuenca trying to get a red and blue shirt in the box at the top of the area.
01:51Not well hit by Gonzalo Abrego.
01:59Trappicchio is able to get there.
02:01Goes for the volley far post.
02:03Run down by Cuello.
02:05Carpicchio didn't have a lot of great options here, so kind of wisely just chipped it over the keeper.
02:17And Abrego bounces it in on Ferraro.
02:26And Barrios again tumbles to the turf.
02:29And another free kick.
02:41Headed into the box.
02:42Barrios tries to get a foot around it.
02:46No score here tonight.
02:47Over half an hour in.
02:49And now Trappicchio in front, and the header is over the bar and out of play.
02:55Good chance for Alexis Cuello, but couldn't get it on frame.
03:04And now an opportunity for San Lorenzo, but Barrios blows it over the top of everyone.
03:11Poor delivery, and he's disgusted with himself.
03:14He had Matias Hernandez open on that far side.
03:24Ten minutes plus stoppage time, now left to go first half.
03:32Quayle plays it backwards.
03:35Now Hernandez.
03:37Looking for a lane.
03:39And a shot off the outside of that right foot.
03:44Kind of awkward, but never had a chance.
03:54Here's Gonzalo Abrego.
03:56Laying it in for Trappicchio.
03:58He heads it across.
04:00And then it's bounced and deflected.
04:04Just wide to that near side.
04:08Matias Hernandez.
04:11On the shot.
04:13Trappicchio just looking for support there.
04:17And then his own teammate got a head on it.
04:22Hernandez with the shot here.
04:24High bouncer.
04:27And Quayle, a 35-year-old from Guayaquil, Ecuador,
04:31who's played for 10 different clubs in his career,
04:34swings the corner in.
04:37And the volley well wide.
04:42Quayle looking for space.
04:44And a wasted effort.
04:46Halfway through stoppage time.
04:48Arboleda not even close.
04:52And that will do it.
04:54We have hit the break in Buenos Aires.
05:01San Lorenzo and Deportivo Cuenca.
05:07The second half from the Estadio Pedro began.
05:12Here in the southern part of Buenos Aires.
05:15Where to get the win?
05:16They would move all the way from third into first.
05:18Here's the opportunity for the opening goal.
05:21And they miss it, even though the flag is up for offsides.
05:28Big chance would not have counted.
05:31But it was close.
05:33Ooh.
05:36The way things have been going here.
05:38Feels like they might be satisfied with just one here on the road
05:42in Buenos Aires.
05:45Offsides.
05:46On the Ecuadorians.
05:49And intercepted by the home side.
05:52Barrios.
05:54Slides it forward.
05:55And that will be a free kick.
05:57And the first yellow card of the match.
05:59It will be assessed to Santiago Postel.
06:0423-year-old Buenos Aires native.
06:07Coming back to his hometown.
06:09Playing for the Ecuadorian side.
06:11Santiago has played a team from Ecuador.
06:13So, now they've run the table.
06:17They have played teams from all ten CONMEBALL nations.
06:21The ninth team to be able to do that.
06:26Barrios tries to play it inside.
06:29Comes back out.
06:30Long-range shot.
06:31And the line drive goes wide from Matias Doritas.
06:46From PGO again.
06:48And a one-timer.
06:50Hit off balance.
06:51And got under it.
06:53And missed everything.
06:56That's Facundo Gulli.
06:59Came on to start the second half.
07:00The 20-year-old from Argentina.
07:18This time, a lot more air underneath it.
07:21Comes loose.
07:23And just dragged wide of the far post by Montenegro.
07:29Montaro Montenegro, the youngster.
07:32Really working to create some space.
07:34Trying to get ahead on it there.
07:38And then as he was falling down, whipped it wide.
07:4930 minutes left to go in Buenos Aires.
07:58And it's headed to the far post.
08:00San Lorenzo breakthrough.
08:02The opening goal from a Johan Romagna.
08:06And the Argentinians are on top in Buenos Aires.
08:24Off the corner.
08:26He charges and just guides it to that far side.
08:31Terrific technique.
08:33And look at his body position.
08:35And, I mean, he is squarely facing towards the corner flag.
08:41This is all just in the head.
08:43Glancing it without even looking.
08:45Facing the other way.
08:47But picture perfect.
08:49Precise and pinpoint.
08:52His first goal of the competition.
08:54And for San Lorenzo.
08:57Games all together.
08:59So, now the chance for Cuenca coming here.
09:02And Montenegro unable to clear.
09:05Finally swept away.
09:07But it's off sides, nonetheless, on the visitors.
09:10So, a heavy lift awaiting Deportivo Cuenca on the road.
09:23Oh, that's a good ball for Riali.
09:25He cuts it back to the spot.
09:27And it's missed by Cuello.
09:29Boy, he has missed a couple of sitters here tonight.
09:32Man, oh, man.
09:34They could have a multi-goal lead.
09:35But Cuello has been off target all evening long.
09:51Riali.
09:531-B-1.
09:55And the assist on the goal with the corner kick.
09:57Plays it back up to the top of the box.
09:59And it's rifled in.
10:01For the second goal of this second half for San Lorenzo.
10:05And it is Nicolas Tropiccio.
10:08The 30-year-old from right here in Buenos Aires.
10:24Riali has the assist on both goals tonight after coming off the bench here in the second half.
10:30Perfect pass.
10:32Top of the 18.
10:33Tropiccio.
10:35Convincing strike.
10:37For the third-year player for San Lorenzo, who also won this Sudamericana seven years ago with Defensa Justicia.
10:47Now back playing in it once again with this.
10:52San Lorenzo has allowed more than one goal in a game only twice this entire year.
10:59And looking for the third here across the sixth and just shuttled wide by Riali.
11:06The player who has both assists was looking for the service to give him his first goal of the night.
11:12But, boy, his fingerprints are all over this second frame in Buenos Aires.
11:25Back post.
11:27Oh, it's pretty wide open.
11:30Gouyi.
11:32Let's stand on the shot.
11:37Totally missed it.
11:49Who assisted on his goal.
11:57And otherwise they're going to lose their first place standing in the group.
12:03On the spin.
12:06And the shot high and wide.
12:11Served in.
12:15And a goal kick.
12:17Blanca just has not been able to.
12:21And then blocks.
12:23They'll get another opportunity.
12:24And Romagna blocks it right into the path of his keeper, Orlando Gil.
12:32Some good chances.
12:34But not great.
12:38Back post header.
12:40Well off target.
12:45Jorge Ordonez.
12:49Just keeping it rolling.
12:54And a shot just over the bar from distance.
12:59Boy, Rivero curling that one.
13:02Kind of nonchalant, but Herman Rivero.
13:05What a goal this.
13:08Full time in Buenos Aires.
13:10Both of the San Lorenzo goals coming in the second half.
13:14Romagna and Tropiccio.
13:17And San Lorenzo is now unbeaten in six straight.
