00:05Added a third before the sending off of Miya Kava late on in a match that they
00:10eventually did wind up dominating. Well worked towards Soranosa, the captain fakes the shot,
00:20Soranosa in behind! Brilliant save, Skiabone. To find the opener. Such a clever shot fake,
00:28that fooled two defenders. I'm not sure how much the goalkeeper knew about that.
00:34Swiftly coming off his line. Cut down the angle, importantly so. Did he save it with
00:40his face? Skiabone, we'll see. Indeed. Made his body as big as. Continues on from
00:48Independiente del Valle. Luwer gonna make the overlap. Rodriguez in a recycle play.
00:56Ruya Kava to Carvajal. And back again it goes. Space for Alcibar. Alcibar stings one low.
01:11Goalkeeper to his right to make the save. Retreating in defensive work. Will turn it
01:17behind for a corner. He's recalibrated his sights. Did take a slight deflection on its
01:22way through. Plenty of time afforded to Alcibar. And that's plenty of power in the shot as well.
01:29Picked up by Alcibar. Line up a third strike. Noho faked the shot. Sliding it to his left. Soranosa!
01:36Batted away by Skiabone. Still loose in the area. And Toronto just to catch their breath
01:40to try and move a bit higher up the park. They've been pinned in over the last five minutes or
01:46so.
01:47Soranosa taking aim from just outside the area. Opportunity now for the hosts to pile some numbers
01:53forward for a long throw attempt. First header one but took a deflection. Now then a crashing header.
01:58And it's in for Cuesta! Smothered and saved by Aldair Quintana.
02:04Solé's header. Picked up by Lour. Alcibar turns it over. Granco. Keeps it in the attacking half.
02:13Only momentarily. That's quite loose. Turned over rather cheaply. And now all of a sudden it's
02:18Independiente del Valle racing up the other end. Rodriguez into the area. Looking for his options.
02:25He finds Gonzalez. Back heel for Soranosa who lays it off. Might have clipped the post on its way through.
02:33So quick they sprung on the counter. Independiente del Valle. And it was deflected on its way.
02:40Turned out to be an important deflection.
02:52And his pocket is picked. Back possession swings to Independiente del Valle.
03:06Rodriguez angling it into the area. That's a beautiful ball in. Schiavone off his line to make the save.
03:15Started both legs in the final when they were defeated by Atlético Nacional.
03:23Now there's space for Cuesta. Cuesta into the area. Through traffic. And that's a fine stop. Quintana.
03:32And look back at the chance for Cuesta. Cutting in from the corner of the area.
03:41Side-stepping in opponents. And just shooting wide.
03:47And indeed the first half comes to a close in Caracas without a goal in this Group H encounter.
03:56First half dominated on the ball by Independiente del Valle.
04:00Perhaps the better of the chances following the way of the visitors as well.
04:08Second half underway. After back-to-back runners-up finishes in the league.
04:16They really dominated the top flight last year in Ecuador.
04:20Now into the attack it comes. Rodriguez! And Schiavone somehow keeps it out.
04:27A fabulous ball over the top. Evan Rodriguez running onto it.
04:31And he smashes it across. Gonzalez sliding in.
04:38Somehow could only redirect it at the goalkeeper.
04:41Luck on the side of Giancarlo Sciavone.
04:44Well that portends luck on the side of Ucebe at the full-time whistle.
04:51He was nearly turned over the line. Gonzalez can't believe that he found the goalkeeper instead of the net there.
05:02Yellow card. Which was what led to the drop ball scenario.
05:06That was on the pass over the top.
05:11As Giovanni Bolivar is the first player booked tonight.
05:15Fouling one Villacaba after Villacaba made that killer pass in behind.
05:21Now Gonzalez sliding it for Perecho.
05:25Perecho cuts around the defender into the area. He goes and he drags the shot wide in the near post.
05:31And thus you'd expect the impetus to be with the blue shirts.
05:41Cuesta darts inside of the defender. Cuesta!
05:45The crowd sound eager for something to cheer on.
05:51Always sailing away from goal.
05:53Nice shot from one Manuel Cuesta.
06:07Mistake. Zapata! Smashes it! Off the crossbar and in!
06:15Universidad Central take the lead!
06:28Pressure high up the pitch.
06:31And Juan Camilo Zapata there to profits.
06:35As he smashes it home to make it.
06:38Universidad Central one. Independiente del Valle nil.
06:43Just a bit too.
06:44A little bit more room to play with in terms of rotating the squad during the group stage.
06:52Especially when you compare to the likes of Rosario Central or Universidad Central in this very same group.
07:01That's just due to the structure of the league setup.
07:10Might that come into play over the next couple of weeks as well.
07:15As Independiente del Valle.
07:18In Ecuador they play home and away.
07:23At the moment Cuesta gets past his marker. Cuesta into the area. Cuesta!
07:33It's a brilliant solo goal!
07:36And Universidad Central double the lead!
07:40A remarkable second half in Caracas for La U.
07:47They lead Independiente del Valle by two goals to nil!
