00:00What a trip as well, up and up to the way at the Monumental, River Plate,
00:06champions of the City of Americana back in 2014.
00:09South American royalty in so many ways.
00:13Take on Blooming on Match Day 6 in Group H in the City of Americana this year.
00:18River need just a point to top the Group.
00:20Blooming, already eliminated, are playing for Pride.
00:29River, you feel, will seek to stamp their early authority on proceedings here.
00:33No doubt about that.
00:37They would fully expect River, I think, to dominate this game right from the off.
00:41Yes, it's a youthful-looking River line-up, but...
00:46I believe that these River supporters will fully expect their side
00:51to produce the goods tonight.
00:53That will absolutely be the name of the game.
00:57Getting the job done.
00:59The manner that they would want.
01:02Will be the aim of the game, I think.
01:06Marito Aam out inside the penalty area.
01:10Is the cutback going to come in here?
01:12Indeed it does, goalkeeper gets palmed on it, not much more.
01:20Before we'll take all day long, this was the ball into the penalty.
01:22I mean, it was really clever feet, wasn't it?
01:24To create the opportunity.
01:26And then there was the cutback.
01:28Goalkeeper touched it away.
01:29It was Bustos coming in after...
01:31González.
01:32I mean, I mentioned he's a real live wire, González.
01:41Good luck, González.
01:43Just 22 years of age.
01:45Good chance here for River.
01:46Goes down, wants a penalty.
01:47Gets a penalty.
01:50Less than nine minutes played.
01:51And River have a spot kick.
01:55Timing of the pass was good, and then there was a tangle.
02:01Tangle of legs here.
02:07Gets gets there first, and that was the moment.
02:12Well, Galvan gets there first.
02:15And it's just clumsy, isn't it, really?
02:20Salas against Almada.
02:24It is Salas off the post.
02:28And he can't believe it.
02:31Well, this was the penalty.
02:33I mean, so much zip on it.
02:36Just lacked the precision to pick it in the corner, didn't it?
02:46I can't believe he's missed that, Salas.
02:55Mess up.
02:58Messes.
02:58Cross it.
02:59Salas with the header.
03:02And the save from Gustavo Almada.
03:06He's keeping blooming in it.
03:11Nice high for the goalkeeper.
03:13An awful long way out, isn't it?
03:16Surely Oliveira isn't going to have a ping from here.
03:21Eventually the ball is swept in, and Beltran was always behind it.
03:24Santiago Beltran.
03:25Stuttered and stale, hasn't it?
03:27Needs a goal.
03:29Needs a goal.
03:30Needs a goal.
03:30Here is Silva.
03:32Silva from range, beaten away by Almada.
03:38Again, it's a height that it expected to make us safer in that kind of range.
03:42But nonetheless, it did so well.
03:45No, no!
03:53New ated in!
04:01End the Hoe!
04:07whistle goes
04:10he's not particularly impressed but nil nil after the opening 45 minutes one big moment in that
04:16first half maximiliano salas his penalty striking the woodwork aside from that salas with a header
04:24saved by armada too much really to chew on rupa of course only need a draw to qualify top off
04:32this group and take their place in the last 16. so that's gonna be it for the first half and
04:39what a
04:39missed opportunity that was for maxi salas with that penalty out of the woodwork still
04:48playing to count for the second half the other match by the way it's also tied
04:57hoisted long
05:05well river plate know that a point will be sufficient for them to finish top of this group
05:11group h and go to the last 16 of the sin americana competition in which they'll surely be on the
05:19red
05:19final favorites
05:26to go all the way
05:30shot there in the crowd of franco master to honor the former
05:33group of player
05:36as he finished his
05:39domestic season
05:42europe with uh real madrid's
05:45exactly for the standout season for master to honor with real madrid but
05:5018 years of age 10 to 19 in august
05:53quarter kick then will be swung in river after a goal
05:58that looking nervy there's the head tied to the arms of armada again i think it was martinis
06:05quarter's up there it was
06:08lack of quality maybe in the final third
06:13certainly the overhead kick would have been special would have been really special
06:26that
06:26well it's an acrobatic attempt this is for martinez quarter he's got the capacity to score for that
06:32kind of range in that kind of situation let's have a look clean enough contact you know
06:44river once more
06:46here towards salas there's the breakthrough
06:52well he missed the penalty in the first half
06:56but maximiliano salas delivers for river in the seconds it's river one blooming nil
07:04it's clearly on side too
07:11it's martinez quarter who just lifted the ball over the blooming back line
07:17and then it's just about the one touch
07:21and the goalkeeper maybe saw it late almada
07:27and in he goes and river leads
07:37could be another chance now for river
07:40armada makes the same
07:43well boostos just clipping the ball inside
07:49salas was the option left-hand side doesn't come to him blooming now trying to
07:55come away with the ball did salas win it back no he didn't
08:01did he get a chuck of the ball here salas but i think the arm comes across
08:06i don't think he does i think the referee's got that one spot on
08:15but river seeking his second goal now and blooming i'm gonna have to dig in here there's the effort of
08:23goal and poured away by almada
08:39it's going to be a yellow card surely
08:46it's a bit busy on this left-hand side
08:50he's demonstrating his capacity to take people on
08:59all come river again
09:01she's inside salas the theme kid it's a penalty
09:05arm was out
09:07referee and then no
09:08allegiance whatsoever no hesitation
09:12freighters inside
09:14wow it's for the foul isn't it it's for the foul actually might have come off an arm but
09:20no it's for the foul
09:22all right it goes crashing into freighter doesn't it
09:29this to seal the point surely on the night
09:32wow there's a var check might be no penalty here
09:46i mean look at the right leg of freighter it does come out i think more than anything else so
09:50this penalty is not going to be given we know when the referee comes across to the monitor
09:54what happens next
09:57and so
10:05pastor vera against almada steps up and scores river have two on the nights
10:14and river are going to finish top of group h and take their place in the last 16
10:37tucks it away with these fast up air it's a really good penalty
10:43and comes the set piece it's pretty favorably the effort on goal is moving and that is a cracker
10:53pick off the bunch
10:56summit from lucas silva didn't he strike it true
11:06and lucas silva
11:08lashes river

11:14he's only 19 years of age with so much quality in the technique
11:22so much quality and the ability the confidence to take it on
11:29referee does indeed blow the full-time whistle
11:33river
11:36confidence and comfortable on the night three no winners over blooming to top group h and take their
11:43place in the last 16th of the comparable suit americana
