00:01We are up and underway in Quito, Ecuador.
00:06Iribe de Navai and Rosario Central are both qualified
00:09for the knockout stages of the competition this year,
00:13but top spot in the group remains up for grabs.
00:18And with 14 seconds on the clock,
00:25the referees booters come loose.
00:32What's the saying?
00:35Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
00:40Hwaki Papa, very talented young manager, isn't it?
00:45Play career is pretty minimal, youth football only,
00:48straight into coaching.
00:50Managerial career, he was at Real Valladolid,
00:53where he was the assistant in 2024,
00:55then went to Liverpool in Uruguay,
00:57won the Apertura with Liverpool, which is very impressive.
01:00And then what he's done so far at IDV, so good.
01:04On the Supercoppa with IDV,
01:07and they are eight points clear at the top of the table.
01:09First ever Libertadores campaign for Hwaki Papa.
01:12It's going brilliantly, isn't it?
01:17And you look at Jorge Almiron, the Rosario Central manager.
01:22Mostly play career in Mexico.
01:25Rosario Central since January.
01:28She reached the final in 2017 as the coach of Lanús.
01:32Reached the final again in 2023 at Boca, where they lost to Fluminense.
01:39Two coaches at different stages, really, in their managerial careers.
01:51Lerma rises.
01:54Here is Gonzalez.
01:59Collected now by Campas.
02:01Campas thought about the strike from 40 yards.
02:04What's up on it for 35?
02:06Great gather from Quintana.
02:08Great gather.
02:10It's so easy for Quintana to parry that one away,
02:13but comfortable in gathering it as he wanted.
02:25TV pulled out from the back is Quintana.
02:34Canabajal.
02:36Argentai Matteo Canabajal.
02:41Given now to Rodriguez.
02:44Rodriguez again.
02:52Via Cava.
02:54Uruguay to Canabajal.
02:55Not much pressure on the ball is there from Rosario.
02:57Rosario Central allowing Romero now to spin the ball in towards Gonzalez.
03:05Props now for Jordi Alcifar.
03:07Beaten away by the keeper.
03:10Jordi Alcifar.
03:12He can't find the top quarter from that kind of range.
03:20Group as it stands there.
03:21Both the top two of course already through.
03:24They will take top spot in the group.
03:26It does mean you're seated for the draw, which will take place on Friday.
03:30Here's Romero.
03:35Back to Romero.
03:41Rodriguez.
03:44Feeded into the path of Junior Sonosa.
03:46Didn't quite come off.
03:47But now.
03:47Here comes Rosario Central.
03:50On the counter.
03:53Absolutely outrageous.
03:55No wonder he's looking to the heavens.
03:58Here is Rodriguez.
04:00To Gonzalez.
04:04Goalkeeper get gloves on it.
04:08I think he did, you know.
04:15Great save, isn't it?
04:16Warning signs are all there.
04:35Asiva.
04:45Oh, towards Gonzalez.
04:46Takes it on his chest.
04:47Well, Gonzalez looking for support.
04:50Wants a free kick.
04:50Referee says no.
04:57Lerma.
05:00Gonzalez.
05:03Junio Sonosa.
05:05It took a moment too long, didn't Sonosa.
05:08His law.
05:10Then.
05:12Hata had a ping.
05:14Saber, the goalkeeper.
05:16But this was.
05:18Gonzalez wants a free kick.
05:20And the arms are across him, aren't they?
05:22But I'm not sure you're going to get a free kick for that.
05:30Capaz.
05:42Yeah, the card is shown.
05:49Rosario Central will be a little bit concerned at the lack of full possession they've had in these 19 minutes.
05:54But we'll be pretty pleased that there hasn't been a way for Rosario Central to break through ITV's defence.
06:07But equally so, ITV haven't been able to break through Rosario Central's defence.
06:15Another opportunity here.
06:17It is Lerma.
06:18He fancies it.
06:19And just skews it off target in the end.
06:22My goodness, that was pretty close indeed.
06:24Need.
06:25Need.
06:40Make.
06:42Doh, doh!
06:44Doh!
06:45Doh!
06:46Doh!
06:52Doh!
06:55for tickets awarded
06:57this is how this group is played out
07:05rosario central idv playing at a nil nil draw match day one
07:08universidad central three libertad one the other results on that match day and then
07:13rosario central went away and won at libertad
07:15itv beat universidad central three one
07:19itv and rosario central both one away on match day three those were big results
07:23weren't they the itv's most disappointing result was
07:26that loss away at universidad central on match day four
07:31here come itv now once again with rodriguez in towards
07:35gonzalez with the effort could save ledezma
07:39was going to take that on gonzalez
07:49a relatively comfortable save for the goalkeeper in the end
07:56it's law laws cross in towards gonzalez
08:06di maria picks up the pieces rare venture forwards for rosario central and
08:12as soon as they cross the halfway line dv players fighting back into possession
08:21rodriguez
08:28lerma
08:30laser square junior sonosa
08:33gather now by law who fancied it
08:36gonna break for law again is it i don't think he was particularly brave in the challenge you know and
08:40it would know what's Sayori central toise with the ball for that opponent
08:44a circuit standpoint as Chrisوس
08:46it's going through Limari
08:48by Laker
08:49you are received
08:51again
08:52of how kann
08:55that工作
08:56that
08:57out
08:57now big chance that for rosario central best chance of the game now lerma rodriguez with
09:06the cross gonzalez with the header and gonzalez a whisker white
09:27good leap isn't it rodriguez
09:34rodriguez with the ball in comes as far as pata
09:51comes the corner kick
10:11you know sonosa back to be a carver and a lot of this from itv in the first half though
10:16i haven't found the key moment
10:37that's it goes on the outside
10:43law swings it in towards gonzalez on the stretch over his own crossbar at the ends
11:08and a touch bust a bit off gonzalez will be a goal kick
11:17so
11:36Giorgia Siva helps it forward towards Gonzalez.
11:39That was the intention.
11:41We nudge towards half-time.
11:43Leap himself.
11:44By the way, it's half-time.
11:45In the Venea de Novaya nil.
11:47Rosario is at trial nil.
11:59So nil-nil.
12:01Gonzalez, nice turn.
12:06Giorgia Sornosa.
12:14Now the cross into the penalty area.
12:16Once again, I think looking for Giorgia Sornosa.
12:20Plata will take the throw.
12:24Pata, in fact, is going to leave it for Law to Pata.
12:28Pata.
12:30Still Pata.
12:31Here comes the cross.
12:33Prod it away.
12:35Got Fetty with the header to Di Maria.
12:39Kept alive now.
12:40Here's Pata.
12:43The turn Pata gives it away very cheaply.
12:46And now Rosario Central will look to break.
12:48Giorgia Siva, that was clever.
12:50And Lerma moves it on.
12:55And they come once more.
12:57Lerma again.
12:57It's Lerma's effort off the frame.
13:02Don't think the goalkeeper got a touch on it either.
13:05Lerma, who's on his way to the Bundesliga this summer.
13:08Lerma.
13:20Hoisted long.
13:22That is the closest that either side have come.
13:24Yes, Enzo Corpetti had a one and one.
13:25But really close in terms of just how they managed to find a way.
13:39Couldn't quite find a way to get the goal in the first half.
13:49Seeking more opportunities in the seconds.
13:52Here's Lort.
13:57Pata.
14:03And the effort of goal takes their deflection.
14:05It goes wide.
14:18The corner kick now for ITV.
14:21I want to kick at an opportunity to get the ball into a very good area.
14:26Sonosa's going to take it.
14:28Lora's also there as the left-footed option.
14:36Sonosa.
14:41Lora's also there as the ball in beyond everyone.
14:45Carabajal was there.
14:48Lortuvia Cava.
14:49Giorgio Cava.
14:53In towards Gonzalez.
14:57Good save, Ledesma.
14:59And had to be.
15:02And had to be.
15:12Lertuvia Cava.
15:14Gonzalez.
15:16Gonzalez couldn't quite find a way through.
15:21Now free-kick's been awarded.
15:23Not on the edge of the penalty area, but...
15:26Ah, if he's still
15:31Lerma again
15:32Lerma's crossed towards Gonzalez
15:37Might still break here though
15:39Junior Sonosa
15:40Sonosa
15:42Had to make the goalkeeper work
15:44Had to make the goalkeeper work
15:48Lerma
15:50Looking for support once more
15:52Romero's the option
15:53Romero cleverly done
15:54Could've gone down
15:55That's a penalty
15:56Just has that little nibble there
15:59So unnecessary
16:01Against Lerma
16:07Sonosa
16:08Steps up
16:09And scores
16:12Lerma got a glove to it
16:14But it's a captain's goal
16:17For Independiente del Valle
16:19And they lead against Rosario Central
16:34Well he just tucks it in the corner
16:36Ledesma gets a glove on it
16:38It's fingertips to it
16:45And now they're going to have to come out
16:47And now they're going to have to come out
16:59For now
17:11Lifted forwards
17:13And there is flicked on
17:14Someone to chase now
17:18And so Jimenez
17:21Jimenez gets it back
17:25And the ball in towards Campas
17:27Who fancied it
17:29And when it broke loose
17:32That would've been one of the goals
17:33That would've been one of the goals of the tournament
17:36That is so good isn't it
17:39From Javi to Campas
17:46But it's covered a cost here
17:47You know
17:49It has covered a cost here
17:50Because
17:53We've got a man down
17:56Looks like a bad one too
17:58Yellow card shown
18:01Pop Fernandes in the heart of that as well
18:05Yeah Pop Fernandes
18:07Does go into the notebook
18:15Santa's biting it again
18:16This time no pre-king
18:18This time Lerma
18:20Pokes it away
18:21For
18:23Rodriguez
18:24They've actually shifted here
18:26It's on fire at the back
18:27I think
18:28How far DV
18:33Tabs on that
18:33But it looks as though
18:39Romero's just dropped in slightly
18:41Into that back three
18:45Obviously you've got
18:46The Carver
18:47Canabajal has been two centre-backs
18:48But
18:50Possibly
18:52What fluids
18:55Gonzalez
18:57Jordi Alciva
19:00Coronel
19:14Gordi Alciva
19:16Cleverly works
19:18Tossed out for Gonzalez
19:20Tipped away by Ledesma
19:25Ledesma
19:25Ledesma's save
19:26Outstretched to his left-hand side
19:32Now
19:32Gonzalez goes down in a heap
19:35Been a few of those
19:36But
19:39DV continue to come
19:44Gordi Alciva
19:46Gordi Alciva
19:47Eberon
19:48Goal is moving
19:49Ledesma
19:49Does get there
19:51It was Rodriguez
19:52Who struck it
19:56Gordi Alciva
19:57Will take it
19:59And Ledesma
19:59Makes the save
20:00Isn't it
20:03Nice idea
20:17Towards the pressure
20:19Cleverly done
20:20Cleverly done
20:34Horacio
20:36As far as that trail
20:37Aren't done just yet
20:38They're not done just yet
20:41Somehow get the ball
20:46Full-time whistle goes
20:48Independiente now by
20:49The 2016 finalists
20:51Do top the group
20:53And they
