00:00Carlos Lucumí of Independiente Medellín.
00:04We're underway here, though, it is Independiente Medellín against Vasco de Gama
00:09for a place in the last 16 of the Commonwealth Sudamericana
00:13in a match-up against the one-side Olympia.
00:18The black band takes possession from kick-off.
00:24Here's Cribano, back in Brazil after his short-lived stint with Nottingham Forest.
00:30Stretch the home-team early, some nice footwork, Andres Gómez with the cross in.
00:36Head away at the near post.
00:42This is Cribano this time, goes straight out to Andres Gómez, who again beats his man,
00:47finds the cross, good ball in, again cleared away at the near post and a handball
00:52will relieve the pressure on Independiente Medellín.
00:54Well, twice now, Andres Gómez has got the ball into his feet and twice
00:59he's easily had the beating of Esne de Mena.
01:03Need to find that momentum.
01:05Here's Martegani on his debut.
01:07Turn inside the area.
01:08And also goes for a free kick.
01:11And he comes out as it was looking to roll his man.
01:15Legally, according to Piero Massa.
01:23A great deal in it.
01:25Bright start.
01:26This time plays the pass.
01:27Pareda, Pareda, back to Gómez.
01:30Gómez goes for goal.
01:31And his left foot thrashes one wide of the post.
01:36No doubt who in the opening.
01:41Close to eight minutes has been the bright spark in this one.
01:44It's number 11, Andres Gómez of Asco de Gama.
01:47Every time he's gone on the ball.
01:52Rodriguez, his attempted low cross, goes straight behind.
01:56Leaving the club.
02:03And the mix of Francisco.
02:05That one to the right hand side.
02:06Addson gives the cross early and under no real pressure.
02:11Andres Gómez.
02:12Heads behind for a corner.
02:14Already a little on edge.
02:16With Andres Gómez lurking behind him.
02:27Going out wide to Rodriguez.
02:29Cross in.
02:30Heda Chau again.
02:31Flaps at it.
02:32Drops the ball.
02:33Makes the save.
02:38Space here.
02:39Morena goes for goal.
02:41Saved by La Chau.
02:42Ball seems to be moving in the air awkwardly for the goalkeeper.
02:49That's a free kick.
02:57That's the talking to from Piero Massa.
03:01Chop of the ankle hind.
03:03For Johnny González.
03:04Nice.
03:07Easy save in the end for the goalkeeper regardless.
03:12And Uno Moreira.
03:13Breaking forward for Vasco de Gama.
03:15Opens up the space for the shot.
03:17And that was not far away at all.
03:20Wonderful, bending, dipping effort from outside the area.
03:24That really looked like it had Heda Chau beaten.
03:26It's a...
03:29You have to see the angle from behind the goal to see just how close it was.
03:32But it really looked like a terrific effort.
03:36Opened up his body to get the...
03:38Being a big advantage.
03:44The body was once again.
03:45Mati.
03:46Yeah.
03:47Otra vez.
03:49Joachim, go.
03:50Go.
03:51Go.
03:52Go, Joachim.
03:53Go.
03:59Go.
03:59Here you go.
04:05Go.
04:05Go.
04:07Go.
04:08Go.
04:29Rodriguez, Moreira lifts across him, and he's going to be headed behind for another quarter
04:34by Didier Moreno. Late pressure at the end of the first half.
04:42Moment.
04:44Panced across from deeper, good delivery, punched away by Chao, and the follow-up volley
04:50sent over the cross, but Iago Mendes stretching awkwardly to hook it back towards goal.
04:58Couldn't keep that one on target.
05:13Let's go.
05:16Matagani breaking forward, takes a shot, opens up the chance, and on the breakaway it's a wonderful,
05:23wonderful goal against the run of play on the stroke of half-time. Independiente Medellin leads.
05:35Second best for large parts of this first half, but the Colombians strike first.
05:46It's Montano with the final touch. It couldn't have been an easier final touch,
05:52but it's a sweeping count. A new signing, Agustin Matagani heavily involved.
06:00And John Montano with the finish.
06:09Smart play by Johnny Gonzalez, pulling it back into that space.
06:15One chance, one goal in the first half. Luis Pereira, there goes the half-time whistle.
06:23Late, late in stoppage time. John Montano with the goal, and it's Independiente Medellin 1.
06:31One, Vasco de Gama nil.
06:46Back underway here at the start of the second half. Independiente, Medellin 1, Vasco de Gama nil.
06:51John Montano's goal in stoppage time. Having the Colombians in front.
07:01Sudamericana action, Vasco de Gama on the attack, and they're straight back level.
07:06Within seconds of the restart.
07:10It's Varela with the own goal, turning in the low cross.
07:14But the dream start to this second half of Vasco de Gama.
07:1920 seconds or so on the clock.
07:22And Joaquin Varela, who's spent so long on the treatment table over the last year or so,
07:29having a moment he will want to forget.
07:33Swift break down the left. Andres Gomez involved.
07:37Feeds the pass into Cuervano and his low cross is badly, badly sliced into his own net by Varela.
07:45Varela watching that run of Brenner at the near post and miscalculating things badly.
07:52It's a gift for Vasco de Gama immediately back on level terms.
08:03Varela being pulled back as he looked for that return pass and he's won the free kick again.
08:10I might not have seen so far from Augustine Martegani. He got to make an impression.
08:15Spent so long on the sidelines with the Boca Juniors.
08:21Every time he gets to the ball, he's looking to be positive, looking to make something ready to come in.
08:27All the visitors.
08:31A foul.
08:33As Cordoba again is brought to his...
08:36knocked off his feet by a block by Karen Barros, who's going to get a yellow card here.
08:42An accumulation of fouls pointed out by Piero Massa.
08:47First yellow for the visitors, second one of the game.
09:03Down that right hand side, cut back. Medina's first touch.
09:07Blocked, still loose. Another shooting chance and it's an own goal.
09:13Independiente Medina retake the lead.
09:16Montano will celebrate for the second time this evening.
09:20But that may well go down as an own goal. The home team will not care in the slightest.
09:25The change is making an immediate impact.
09:30And just as at the case at the other end, the ball badly sliced.
09:36Past their own goalkeeper. It's a nice little ball over the top, creating the space down the right.
09:42First chance for Jason Medina as an Independiente Medellin player.
09:47But ultimately, the shooting opportunity fell to Montano.
09:51Was that shot going on Saga? I'm not sure, but Cuesta sticks out the leg.
09:57The ball flying off the centre-back into the back of the net.
10:01And there's nothing Leo Jardim can do to keep that one out.
10:08Off the shin of the defender, straight home team back in numbers.
10:14Looking to make life difficult for Vasco da Gama.
10:18For the large part, haven't really been able to make the most of possession during this game,
10:21but they have worked it out into the space for Enrique down the right.
10:23Paolo Enrique is crossing. It's a dangerous ball spilled by Lachau at the first time of asking.
10:30And then down onto the loose ball on the edge of his own six-yard box.
10:34Claudio Spinelli hovering. He goes to attack that low cross in.
10:41It's the way down the left. Quabano tries to look for Spinelli.
10:45And away.
10:48Forward again. Let's go da Gama. Certainly haven't given this one up yet.
10:55He's got a shot from range. That wasn't far away. That was not far away at all.
11:05Really firmly struck. Dipping.
11:09Catching the fingertips of Enrique Chao on the way over the top of the crossbar.
11:14Good hit from Andres Gomez.
11:23Here's Riquet. Nice pass.
11:25Paolo Enrique down the right. Enrique right across the six-yard box.
11:29No one going to attack the ball. Could still fall outside the area.
11:31The shot that comes in. Off target.
11:35He goes for a push from Thiago Mendes. Feeling as though contact came in from behind as he got that
11:42shot away.
11:44Not according to Piero Massa.
11:47He goes for a push from Thiago Mendes. Lovely pass from the teenager. Just off the bench.
11:51Creating the chance for Paolo Enrique down that right side. He just couldn't find the final ball.
12:08Renan. That's a nice looking pass.
12:11And a chance here. Spinelli surely. There's the equalizer for the second time this evening.
12:18Spinelli. Spinelli off the bench with his first sighted goal. Taps in to make it 2-2.
12:27And it was oh so easy. Beautiful pass from Robert Renan. Splitting the lines.
12:41Two passes from back to front. As Spinelli taps home.
12:52Quibano involved again. His cross forcing the own goal at the start of the second half.
12:59And his low pass leaving Spinelli with the taps. And a look at the watch from Piero Massa.
13:08And that will be it. It finishes here the first leg. Independiente Medellin 2. Vasco de Gama 2.
13:17All to play for ahead of next week's second leg in Rio de Janeiro.
13:21Twice the Brazilians come from behind. Both occasions cancelling out goals from John.
