00:05America de Cali against Macara.
00:14And we're underway at the Pascual Guerrero in Cali.
00:17America holds the Macara of Ambato.
00:21Macara, they just want a point.
00:22They want to guarantee that's a historic campaign.
00:27It's Klinger with the cross.
00:28A chance for Posse on the header.
00:34Klinger coming over to help as well.
00:37With the left foot of Miranda, much higher this time.
00:41And cleared by Posse.
00:44Still unbeaten the record.
00:48Coming forward now, getting another corner kick early on.
00:54And again.
00:56This time it's Adriano Ramos to head out.
00:59And that is, yes you guessed it, another corner kick for Macara.
01:04Klinger has not his posse.
01:08Ezra goes for the strike, it's straight at Bernanje's.
01:12Carrascal.
01:18Good ball to the back post and it's just cleared by Echobarney.
01:23Back to Carrascal.
01:25As Murillo in support crosses himself though.
01:27The header's there.
01:28Too easy for Rodriguez though.
01:38A little bit late there for Royal Romero.
01:41And he's going to go into the book here.
01:44First yellow card of the match so far.
01:52Looking for Romero ahead of him.
01:54Releases it.
01:55Here is Royal Romero.
01:56There's some options in the area here.
01:59It's going all the way through to Murillo.
02:01Maybe he could have taken a touch there.
02:04John Murillo.
02:06Just hit it first time but didn't get a good connection in it.
02:09And Alianza Atletico is still 0-0.
02:13Now Klinger to take the lead there.
02:15America would drop out.
02:17Chance now.
02:18Kazanis.
02:20Looking for the run of Klinger.
02:24Foot race with Mina.
02:25Mina wins it.
02:26And Klinger just kind of snaps at his legs.
02:29I think Klinger will be going in the book here.
02:33Klinger the 21 year old.
02:37Ayala.
02:39Looking for Posse.
02:40Able to turn.
02:41Gets that shot.
02:42Almost on target.
02:44Just past Jans Post.
02:50Can be quiet sometimes Franco Posse.
02:53Leaving them out of the upper dora.
02:56After having a decent first phase.
02:59A lead phase.
03:02Back to the drawing board for the second half of the season.
03:07And should they make it through.
03:09Which it looks likely that they will.
03:12Interesting to keep following it.
03:13But opening now for Rafael Carrascao.
03:14Goes for the strike.
03:18Just let it get away from him a little bit.
03:21We just sensed that as soon as he made connection with that,
03:24that the ball was not in his control.
03:26It wasn't going to go where he wanted it to.
03:33Even a little bit too far in the front of him.
03:36Marcos Mina converted that chance in the first minute.
03:40Well, in the tenth second of the game.
03:43And out of the end almost.
03:46Late save.
03:47Go back to the defence just like this.
03:50Ayala.
03:51Looking forward to Posse.
03:53Is there a run here.
03:54Chance for Cazares.
03:57Well, he got much better connection than Carrascao did a moment ago.
04:02Up the other end of the pitch.
04:04It's a good hit from Cazares.
04:07All just keeps rising.
04:12It's just gone a little bit wide of the mark.
04:17Will Tejo get the go?
04:19Yes, he will.
04:21Out-swing out there.
04:24Doesn't make it past the first man.
04:25But Tejo gets another chance at it.
04:31America able to clear the lines.
04:33Einghel fighting for this one.
04:35In the air.
04:35It's going to go out for us.
04:37Group A table.
04:38Nothing changed so far.
04:41Across the back.
04:41Oh, from Castillo.
04:42Einghel heads it down.
04:43Ramos.
04:46Another timely interception from Santiago Echebarne.
04:56Shot from Romero.
04:59Over the bar.
05:01Carrascao.
05:03Cross comes in.
05:04Looking for Castillo.
05:06Brings it down on the chest.
05:08And then goes down.
05:09Brings it down.
05:12I wonder if his race is run.
05:14Looks like he's picked up an injury here.
05:20He is in some pain.
05:25That would be a real heartbreak for Matteo Castillo.
05:33He's just back from injury.
05:36As he stretches through here.
05:38You can see he's got that tape.
05:41On his.
05:42Right knee.
05:45Real shame.
05:46Matteo Castillo.
05:47Just such a.
05:50Important player to this America team.
05:52He can be a great player to watch as well.
05:57Suggestions that he wouldn't make.
05:58The start.
06:00Played the four.
06:04And I think the referee has brought an end to this first half.
06:07He has indeed.
06:11Now we're back underway.
06:13Macaran possession.
06:15In sky blue.
06:15Playing from right to left.
06:18America de Cali.
06:19In all red.
06:20The first few seconds of the match in the first half.
06:23John Thielmann taking on his man.
06:24That's what America want to see.
06:25The cross is up there.
06:26Look for Adrian Ramos.
06:28Wins the header.
06:29Chance for Angel.
06:30Scuffs it.
06:32Is there another opportunity here?
06:34Carrascao.
06:34Well.
06:36No.
06:37It's dropped though to America.
06:39Here's Romero.
06:41Out wide to Darwin Machis.
06:43Just off the bench.
06:44Puts inside the Venezuela.
06:45Looks for the chip.
06:46Across the far post.
06:48Couldn't make it through to.
06:49We'll update you on those permutations as they have.
06:51An opening for Angel.
06:52Chance for Carrascao now.
06:53Lays it off.
06:54Chance for Machis.
06:55Turns inside.
06:56Onto his left.
06:57Off the post.
06:58Angel with a chance.
07:00Off the bar.
07:03The frame of the goal getting a bit of a workout early in the second half here.
07:07And a chance for the break.
07:08Now for Makarra.
07:10Miranda loses possession but wins the free kick.
07:15It's going to be a yellow card for Rafael Carrascao.
07:18Sorry for Osen Escobar.
07:26It's been under huge pressure since that elimination against that.
07:30A shot from Makarra and off the bar again.
07:35This game has really come to life.
07:38Here's Carrascao.
07:39Goes for the early cross.
07:40Bit too much on that.
07:41It goes through to Rodriguez.
07:42In the Makarra goal.
07:44Who will stay down for as long as he possibly can.
07:46They need to make the most of this spell of pressure.
07:51And they don't want to let Makarra in at all.
07:53Here's Posse.
07:53Lays it off.
07:54Chance for Tejo.
07:55Great save.
07:56And the rebound.
07:57The flag's up on the far side.
08:00It's not going to count.
08:03Jose Klinger was celebrating.
08:08But Nancy Fernandez, the assistant referee, had her flag up promptly.
08:17He will be checking it, of course.
08:20My initial impression was that Klinger had straight offside.
08:28Again, it's Miranda Anteo standing over it.
08:30It's a good cross.
08:31Jump for Nads with a save.
08:33And it's just wide of the goal from the captain, Jose Marufo.
08:37Lays it forward, looking for Posse, the centre forward.
08:40No one in the box.
08:42Goes for the cross anyway.
08:43Happy to win a corner kick.
08:46There's no option.
08:47They have to go for it.
08:49There's Machis.
08:50Space in the middle for Escobar.
08:52He didn't even go for a shot.
08:53He wasn't up for that.
08:54Valencia.
08:55He goes for the shot.
08:56Easily blocked.
08:59This thing stand.
09:00America going out of the Sudamericana.
09:02Unless they can fashion a goal here.
09:04Played for Valencia at the back.
09:05Oh.
09:07Good defending from Marufo.
09:09Looks like Makarama just held off on those substitutions.
09:16Maybe not wanting to waste them.
09:19Had some success running at this defence.
09:22There's a cross here to Carrascal.
09:24He'll be looking for the cross.
09:26There's a header there from Machis.
09:28But that's wide.
09:37Something that David Gonzalez was saying in the hydration break
09:40is that this is the moment in the game where they have to just beat
09:43Carlos Caicedo and Jason Chala.
09:57I don't know that.
10:00Head knock there.
10:02Both players will receive attention.
10:04It gives us time to have a think about those changes for Makarama.
10:10Defensive changes, I think, above all else.
10:13Jimenez is a centre back.
10:16Coming onto her place.
10:18We've mentioned this man is on the bench.
10:22Maybe a late cameo.
10:24But Jason Guzman.
10:27Sierra on and placed off Carrascal.
10:30Turn for Posse.
10:32Can't get that shot away.
10:42Right long.
10:44Going all the way through to Rodriguez.
10:47I can really feel the desperation at the moment.
10:50Machis.
10:51Gets past his man.
10:52The right foot they cross.
10:54And Rodriguez holds it.
10:56Bit of contact there.
10:58Romero gets there ahead of Ayala.
11:00A little bit of a scuffed.
11:02Clarence Machis gets it to the far post.
11:05Those man tried to rise up for it.
11:06But there's an offside flag.
11:09No one there though.
11:09That could have went straight through to the goalkeeper.
11:11Still a chance for John Tillman.
11:12Turns it.
11:13Shot is wide though.
11:14It's good technique.
11:15But he just doesn't get that shot anywhere near on target.
11:21John Tillman Palazzo has been one of the bright sparks.
11:23Came on at half time.
11:38There's Chalat.
11:39Trying to go on himself.
11:41Chalat.
11:43Well blocked.
11:44By Romero.
11:45And that is going to be a corner kick for Makara.
11:52That's the final whistle.
11:55Makara have done it.
11:57The team from the tiny town of Ambato.
12:01In Ecuador.
12:02Have against all the odds.
12:04M Suk.
12:05M I W W W E C.
12:11forgiveness.
12:12No no one has a box!
12:15Let's go for later.
