00:02We're on the way in Belo Horizonte in Brazil for Cruzeiro versus Boca Juniors,
00:09match day three in the Commonwealth Libertadores. A must-win game for Cruzeiro,
00:16for Boca, the opportunity to all but seal their place in the round of 16 in this
00:21year's competition. I'm sure Richard's a match commentator for what is one of the
00:26standout clashes in this match day three. Boca in their away strip, attacking from
00:37left to right. Cruzeiro, the home side led by Artor Jorge there, the 54 year old
00:45former Botafogo coach where he won the historic double, he won the Libertadores
00:51and the Brazilian title in 2024. It's just his ninth game since taking over at
01:00Cruzeiro.
01:07Big challenge there from Paredes and from Di Lolo as well.
01:16Yes, looking for Paredes on the opposing goalkeeper is also a question to be put
01:26to him, perhaps, after the game.
01:41Quite what Kyle Georges... Paredes brings something of real quality to the side and
01:49Bocca. Quick to surround Ostokic.
02:04No intent to play the ball.
02:13And when you see a teenager going down like that, just wayward though, looking to get real power on it,
02:21which he did. Quite finding the direction.
02:30The captains, the coaches and the referee need to take a, take control of this game.
02:46Been busy but,
02:49hasn't managed to have a real mark on this game. Adam Barredo, he has certainly, and he is in the
02:55book already,
02:55and he needs to be really careful. And it's too late for that warning because it's a red card for
03:00Adam Barredo.
03:02Second booking.
03:09It's the hand on Christian, the 27-year-old.
03:20It's the first.
03:21It was the first. I was going to say, in slow motion, it certainly looks like. That's a...
03:27It's a hand to the neck, isn't it, from Barredo.
03:34Is it a booking?
03:40Christian certainly makes the most of it.
03:44Arch in his back.
03:53Play it out from deep.
04:07That brings us to an end of an acrimonious first half.
04:15Where the main talking point is the red card for Adam Barredo.
04:19Goalless between Cruzeiro and Boca Juniors.
04:21It is half time.
04:28So Boca Juniors with 10 men now after the Barredo exit.
04:32We'll see what happens.
04:34In the second half, already had a yellow card.
04:38I'm in a 40 and then the second yellow.
04:41And I do think it was a yellow, honestly.
04:43If this had been a straight red, I would have had an issue with me, with it.
04:48And good.
04:49On Claudio Ubele, just getting everyone to the locker room.
04:53It was clearly a yellow card.
04:57Yeah, I'm still just trying to keep peace.
04:58Yeah, I'll talk to him.
04:59Just go to the locker room.
05:02Every save it's two.
05:03You hit him twice.
05:04That's it.
05:05Three yellow cards, I think.
05:06The Redcats was warranted on a second.
05:10Yellow.
05:10Nil-nil after 45 minutes of play.
05:13Take a short break and come back with more here.
05:14I mean, it's worth it.
05:15After 45 minutes of play.
05:26Sometimes down to 10 men.
05:28The Brazilians have made one change at right back.
05:33Our Moraes on for Fagnet.
05:37Remember, if you're just joining us,
05:39we are still looking for our first shot on target.
05:43in this game.
05:43I'm Joel Richards, the commentator this evening,
05:45as Aska Sivar is in the danger area for Boca,
05:49but can't unleash a shot.
05:51Kaikki brings it out for Cruzeiro.
06:08Weigand battles away, continues his run.
06:23Weigand battles away, continues his run.
06:24Lovely ball there, opening here for Giorgi.
06:2979 minutes on the clock, on goal.
06:33Lovely change of idea from Moraes with the cross,
06:37keeping it low.
06:38Keeping it low, fine.
06:40Jermsen here.
06:49It is Pereira, lovely ball for Kaikki.
06:52And it's the first, the opener, and quite possibly the winner for Cruzeiro.
07:00It has been coming, they've stepped it up.
07:03And it is the substitute, Vigareal, who puts Cruzeiro in the lead.
07:11Finally, they've made the way through Boca's defence.
07:21It's the movement from Kaikki once again.
07:33The pass from Pereira is crucial.
07:36The first-time ball from
07:40the number 19, and the simplest of finishes
07:43for the 21-year-old Colombian, Vigareal.
07:59Late from Blanco there.
08:04This was late by Blanco on Moraes.
08:08The two have been going in each.
08:12As Cruzeiro will look to just shore things up now.
08:14Well, he did say things have died down, but they're very much heated up here.
08:27There's pushing, there's shoving, face-offs.
08:40Forward official getting an earful from both sets.
08:44Or substitutes and backroom staff.
09:20They're still going, it's shades of 2021 here,
09:24which did not end well for Boca Juniors.
09:27Huge levels of indiscipline.
09:32After that clash against Atletico Mineiro.
09:53Costa, yellow-carded.
09:56Costa, yellow-carded.
10:00Costa, yellow-carded.
10:06His goal, the difference between Cruzeiro, the Brazilians, and Boca Juniors, the Argentines.
10:13And unsurprisingly, things boil over after the final whistle.
10:20It's been an ill-tempered game.
10:26There's a heated game, and it's heated.
10:28By the way, Boca Juniors,
10:37Boca Juniors, no shots, and this is just ruining that magical streak.
10:44They had 14 games without a loss.
10:48They lose again.
10:51And now they're just making a fool of themselves.
10:58Completely unbelievable from the part of a team that had zero shots during the game.
11:08They didn't even get him in the first half with 11 players.
11:12Played by far their worst game.
11:16And there's a 14-game without a loss streak.
11:19And this, of course, is just
11:22absolutely incredible by Boca.
11:26A lesson on how to not behave
11:31in a tournament like this.
11:35The Cruzeiro fans should be happy to get their second win of the tournament.
11:39And then tie Boca atop the standings of the group.
11:43With six points.
11:52Cruzeiro.
11:53Unless you just go to the locker room.
11:56Let the Boca players argue on their own.
12:01Even see players from Boca pushing each other.
12:06Fortunately, it looks like no punches thrown.
12:08But that is, that's not a way to finish a game.
12:121-0 Cruzeiro, earning the win here on B-Sports.
12:25So who was gasping for 14-DB Kelvinём.
12:26That and it took me
