00:05Potafogo kick off in front of their home fans here at the
00:08Estadio Olimpico Newton Santos as they welcome in Rasing from
00:12Abishaneda. It is a crucial clash in Group E here on match day
00:18four. The group stage of Conmebo Sudamericana rolls on in
00:24Rio here tonight. And already some momentum in the move for
00:28the black and white stripes of Potafogo right to left in this
00:32first half as it's stung in from out wide rights to the touch on
00:36its way which allowed Rasing just about get it clear wearing
00:41their chain strip royal blue this year with the white shorts as
00:47they make that trip from Abishaneda. It's all Rodriguez. Huge
00:53chance that for Rasing but now it goes the other way and the
00:58referee is going to pull a yellow card from his pockets.
01:04Tug of the shirts as escaping from him was
01:07Carrier Barria.
01:16Whipped in and somehow not turned over the line.
01:21Dick and it might have been both the fog of defending each other here.
01:27Marboza just stuck out a leg didn't get full contact but he took it away from Newton
01:35Jr.
01:41Can't
01:41Touch for Andres.
01:45In the center circle they pounce through the black and white stripes looking forward for
01:49Junior Santos who touches it around the goalkeeper. It's trickling towards goal and it trickles over the line.
01:57In the center circle.
02:08In the center circle.
02:12And the Albinegro were quickly onto the counter. He looked less favorite to get to the ball.
02:18Junior Santos just got a slight toe touch in between goalkeeper and defender.
02:25No, in fact, it's an own goal as it was the retreating
02:32García Basso.
02:33García Basso.
02:33Ahead of Junior Santos.
02:38But unfortunately for Rossi.
02:40It slips beyond the goalkeeper and beyond the retreating García Basso.
02:47The calamitous own goal for La Academia.
02:52García Basso unable to sort out his feet as he was sliding back.
03:01Now Rossi step up the pressure. It breaks kindly for La Academia.
03:05Shot towards goal. Saves.
03:08Mainetto.
03:09But he couldn't keep his header down.
03:12Took a deflection on its way which makes the save that much more impressive.
03:19Cariocca state championship.
03:24That's the move made by the Botafogo hierarchy.
03:31Whipped cross looking for Martinez.
03:34There was a pretty.
03:38For the 18 year olds.
03:41This late challenge.
03:45Wild swing really.
03:51Rojas whips it out towards the penalty spots.
03:56Clear to the edge.
03:59And it just rises over the bar from.
04:04On the half volley.
04:07Caught it when it was bouncing back up.
04:09So difficult that technique.
04:10He wasn't so far away from his goal mouth.
04:13Didn't even want to try and risk a pass into Junior Santos.
04:17Molina.
04:19Bursting into the attack.
04:21He's brought down with a tug of the shoulder.
04:24And that'll be another yellow card for Arrasing Man.
04:27And this for a similar professional foul.
04:30Just couldn't keep up with Cristiano Medina.
04:37Free kick in a promising position for the Alvinegro.
04:42Line held right on the penalty spot by Arrasing.
04:45James Martins goes for goal.
04:47And he stings the palms of Cambases.
04:53Elected to whip it around the wall.
04:55Goalkeeper side.
04:57Out for a throw on the far side.
04:59Long throw into the area.
05:00Barbosa wins the flick on header.
05:03And it's nodded towards the bottom corner.
05:05Kept out by a flying Cambases.
05:09Fine reaction from Cambases.
05:12Barbosa got the initial flick.
05:14And how about that from the youngster Barrilla.
05:16In between two defenders.
05:25Halftime whistle rings out.
05:27Across the Estadio Olimpico.
05:29Nilton Santos.
05:30Botafogo lead at the break.
05:32Thanks to a Marco Di Cesare own goal.
05:39It's 1-0 after 20 minutes of play.
05:42Last thing none too happy with the actions.
05:44Neither Botafogo will see what happens in the second half.
05:48We're going to take a short break.
05:49Come back with the highlights from the first half.
05:51Botafogo wins it at the half.
05:531-0 in his match day for the group stage of the Copa Conmebol Sudamericana.
06:00They'll kick things off.
06:01Away we go for the second half here in Rio de Janeiro.
06:04They've switched ends.
06:06With Rossing now right to left.
06:08Trailing a goal to nil.
06:09After that Marco Di Cesare first half own goal.
06:13Lumped up towards Solari.
06:20And it's a free kick for Rossing which is taken quickly.
06:23Rojas trying to sting a first time cross in.
06:26Too close to the goalkeeper.
06:28Botafogo still protesting with the referee.
06:31That could have been a fabulous start to the second half for Rossing.
06:36Across from Rojas.
06:38You can see it was angled towards the run of Maravilla Martinez at the back stick.
06:44But he didn't quite put his foot through it how he had hoped.
06:49Curled too close to the goalkeeper.
06:52And Botafogo can escape with a bit of a...
06:56Withstands the first challenge.
06:57Can't withstand the backtracking of Forneris.
07:01Rossing with a little bit of wind in their sails.
07:04Solari has an overlap.
07:05He said he takes it on himself.
07:06Parried away.
07:09Santiago Solari cutting in.
07:12Not the most convincing save from Neto.
07:14It has to be said.
07:27Acres of space for Rojas to pick up the ball.
07:29He got his eyes up.
07:30He got a cross away.
07:31Martinez!
07:36It's a stunning header.
07:37And Rossing are back on level terms.
07:43Rojas.
07:45A one-man wrecking crew down the left-hand side.
07:49Go on.
07:49Rossing won with this stellar cross.
07:52Took a deflection on its way.
07:54But slipping.
07:56That is marvelous.
07:58From Maravilla Martinez.
08:05He reacted and read the deflection so well as he guides it in with a looping header.
08:13Not sure you'll see a better finish on match day four.
08:17Back on level terms after they trailed at the break.
08:21Back.
08:25Pearls in behind.
08:27Danilo.
08:28Denied by Cambeses.
08:33For Cambeses who might have come off the worst for wear.
08:36It was Christian Medina with that sumptuous pass in behind.
08:42Splitting the seams.
08:44How many defenders in blue did that pass take out?
08:46Well, it didn't take out the goalkeeper in pink.
08:48He came rushing out Cambeses.
08:51Zaracho.
08:53Lovely pass fake from Martirena.
08:55Then his pass was left a bit short.
08:57Zaracho though strong in the challenge.
08:59Gets across into the area.
09:00It falls to Fernandez.
09:02Fabulous save Neto.
09:05Best save of the night.
09:09Only half cleared by Junior Santos.
09:13And Adrian.
09:13He got there first to clear it in the touch.
09:16Quickly in from the throw.
09:17Junior Santos.
09:18Slide challenge in from Garcia Basso.
09:21Still loose in the area.
09:22Touch for Danilo.
09:23It sneaks through the goalkeeper and in.
09:30It's that man at it again for Botafogo.
09:34Danilo got the winner in Abishaneda.
09:38Go into the lead late on in Rio de Janeiro.
09:41Botafogo two.
09:44Racing club one.
09:46The blue shirts just couldn't quite clear the danger.
09:50A little tap from Mateus Martins to get it back into the path of Danilo.
09:55It's a speculative shot really.
09:59Basically all he could do in traffic.
10:01A side footed.
10:04Strike towards the center of the goal.
10:07And Facuna Cambese will not look back at that kindly.
10:14He had a crucial save to deny Danilo earlier on in the half.
10:19A fantastic save and a one on.
10:21Gotten away.
10:22Lifting a leg on the throw there.
10:24Squirms through the attempt from Garcia Basso.
10:27Arthur Carral touches around the defender.
10:34And it is a free kick.
10:37The Botafogo play a card of a certain color.
10:40And you would expect this to be yellow.
10:41Plenty of opportunity to get back in defense for Racing Club.
10:51And he goes bouncing in the area.
10:53Always dangerous.
10:54Overhead kick straight at the goalkeeper.
10:59Zarracho going for the Chilena.
11:04He might have just struck it too cleanly.
11:09And then it's back to Sudamericana play on May the 20th.
11:14Botafogo will have to travel to Bolivia to take on bottom of the group.
11:20Zero points from four games.
11:21Independiente Petrolero.
11:43It's a great leap and a powerful header into danger by Conegni.
11:54Conegni took it on the first time on the wall.
11:57He did Zarracho.
11:57That draws the ooze and aahs from the crowd.
12:01Before the more conventional defensive approach is taken.
12:04Hoofed forward.
12:05And coming off his line.
12:06Cambases.
12:07Did he get a hand to it?
12:08Red card for Facundo Cambases.
12:15And he will miss that pivotal match with Caracas and Abishaneda in a couple weeks' time.
12:26Bouncing ball caused problems for Sosa.
12:30It was Vishalba, the man, giving chase in the black and white.
12:36What on earth was Cambases doing?
12:40Well, it might have not hit his hands.
12:42Or was he sent off for a dangerous play as he came in with his knee up?
12:48And more so for the suspension than...
12:59It's going to be the captain, Santiago Sosa.
13:04With that sight that neutral fans around the world love to see.
13:08An outfield player donning the gloves.
13:11He'll put on Cambases' sweaty jersey to see out the final minute for 90 seconds or so.
13:20Rousing fans mostly slumped down in their seats.
13:23It was promising to start this second half.
13:26The Cambases' mistake led to the Botafogo go-ahead goal.
13:31And now he's reduced Rousing to 10 men to close out stoppage time.
13:39Botafogo not going to send anybody forward.
13:45Will this be a tester for Santiago Sosa?
14:02They are going to give him a cleaner shirt.
14:06They are going to give him a cleaner shirt.
14:18He took his shorts off to hit Sosa.
14:21He thought they were bringing him on some pink shorts.
14:24Well, it's just a different goalkeeper uniform.
14:30Shorts off, gloves on for Santiago Sosa.
14:35He won't know much about setting up the wall from a goalkeeper's perspective.
14:40It's three in blue.
14:43It is an unmarked goalkeeper uniform.
14:47As it will be, Marsal over the dead ball.
14:51There is a man over on the far side.
14:53Marsal goes for it himself.
14:56He doesn't put it on targets.
14:58Well, to test a non-goalkeeper, you at least have to put it on frame.
15:06Well beyond the minimum of five.
15:10A heave forward.
15:12And the full-time whistle rings out across the Estadio Olimpico, Nilton Santos.
15:19The odd goal in three gives Botafogo all three points tonight.
15:24And they move to the top of the Group E table, which is two games remaining.
15:32A wild back-and-forth affair here this evening in Rio de Janeiro.
15:36An own goal from Marco de Cesare had Botafogo in front at the break.
15:41But for a stunning headed goal from Adrian Martinez.
