00:00It's Vasco de Gama against Independiente Medellin for a place in the last 16 of the Commonwealth Sur-Americana.
00:15Nicolas Ramirez is happy. We are underway. Vasco de Gama against Independiente Medellin.
00:21Second leg of their Sur-Americana play-off match-up against Olympia in the last 16. The prize on offer
00:31this evening.
00:36The unanswered record I just alluded to there for Pedro Emanuel.
00:41Noting to avoid not winning in his opening four games. Something which Salvador Pacheco didn't do.
00:48No cross into the box. Didier Moleno stabs it away.
00:54Offer kick, says Ramirez, the referee. And that's a poor challenge from Spinelli. Very poor challenge indeed.
01:02Over-eager in his attempt to get it. Absolutely wipes out the legs of Cordero. And I think he's going
01:06to get booked here early on.
01:09Luis Amaranto Padilla.
01:13Varsely experienced centre-back. Started his playing career right here with Independiente Medellin.
01:26Despite there only being three minutes on the clock.
01:29And of your Spinelli, if you don't think of too many real arguments, he is making the close that it's...
01:36Medina. Here is Martigani. Martigani on the edge of the box. Gets the shot away.
01:40On the left foot. Wide of the near post.
01:45Bench. There. I like what they saw.
01:49I think the shot took a deflection. It's way behind.
01:53Of Renan, who quickly closed down Martigani.
01:59There's no signings. Combined run forward. A wonderful run.
02:02Bypasses the visiting midfield completely.
02:05And he's been fouled as he looks to pick a pass.
02:08Super burst from Paolo Enrique.
02:14Next step in his own half. Comes inside one challenge away from Didier Moreno.
02:18And then just seems to accelerate away. Away from La Boa.
02:22And it's La Boa then chasing back.
02:25Pulling the challenge in from behind.
02:39In down the right. Good cut back to the edge of the area.
02:42Chance to shoot.
02:43And a shot in the end from Andres Gomez.
02:46Drifting over the top of the cross. But always drifting over.
02:49Half an hour.
02:51Comes and goes.
02:53The scoreline this evening still goalless.
03:02Again with a lovely pass.
03:04Forward to Courdova.
03:05Onto his left foot. Goes for goal.
03:07And that was a good shooting opportunity.
03:09That goes begging.
03:12Luis Perea likes what he saw.
03:14It's a super pass.
03:16To find that run of Courdova.
03:19But having made that space.
03:20He gets away from Piton.
03:25What a fancied in there to be able to hit the target.
03:33Edge forward.
03:35Spinelli's the player ahead of him.
03:36But Paolo Enrique's going alone.
03:38And he's brought down by Varela.
03:39Right on the edge of the box.
03:41It's going to be a yellow card.
03:42For Joaquin Varela.
03:46Uruguayan was left exposed.
03:48They're 1v1.
03:53Frightened by the pace of Paolo Enrique.
03:55Seeing him go past.
03:57Made absolutely certain he was not going to go into the box.
04:11Fame is the left foot of Lucas Piton.
04:13Instead it's the right foot of Moreira.
04:15And it's lifted over the crossbar again.
04:19I wasn't really hit with the acquired venom anyway, I don't think.
04:38Cross lofted forward.
04:39Spinelli climbs.
04:40Doesn't get there.
04:41Falls at the back post.
04:42A shot comes in.
04:42And we have our first shot on target.
04:46And if it's a very, very easy step.
04:49Cleared downfield.
04:52The whistle blows for half time.
04:54A few boos around the stadium.
04:58Goal is at the break.
05:00Hasco de Gama.
05:01Nil.
05:02Independiente Medellin.
05:03Nil.
05:052-2 on aggregate.
05:06It remains.
05:09I'm not sure I thought there was a substitute about to come in.
05:11But it's not.
05:12We are underway.
05:13Hasco de Gama.
05:14Nil.
05:15Independiente Medellin.
05:16Nil.
05:17No changes made by either manager at half time.
05:21Will we see any more attacking impetus from both teams?
05:25Just a one shot on target.
05:27Something early at the start of this second half.
05:29Chance to shoot from the edge of the box.
05:31Taken.
05:31And it is another shot on target.
05:33But it's another very easy save.
05:34The first shot.
05:36Edge of the box.
05:37Ramon Rieke.
05:38In a tight position.
05:40He's still come away with the ball.
05:41The youngster finds a pass.
05:43Clip cross in just over the head of Spinelli.
05:50And finally, in the very move first.
05:54Adson.
05:55One of the two that's getting ready to come in.
05:57Uno Moreno.
05:58Tackled by Didio Moreno.
06:00But it falls out onto the right.
06:01The cross that comes in.
06:02Awkward for a moment.
06:03But then Ochao backtracking.
06:06Flames that one under no contest.
06:11Spells of possession from the visiting team that don't sit too well with the locals.
06:17Cordoba lifts this one forward.
06:18Gonzales knocks it down.
06:20Chance to hoist in a cross.
06:22It's hung up towards the back post.
06:23Too long.
06:24Mena.
06:26It was another cross in.
06:27Header on goal.
06:28And Medina puts that one wide.
06:30Best moment.
06:30Best chance of the game.
06:32For Independiente Medellin by a long way.
06:37Saw Medina rise.
06:39And he really thought this one was going to end in the back of the net.
06:43Gets that header all wrong.
06:44And he knows it.
06:46Scoops that ball over the top for Adson.
06:47Once more.
06:48Adson looking for a pass for Ellis there.
06:50It's another good challenge inside the air.
06:51And a free kick which eventually is awarded in favour of the visitors.
06:57Yellow card has been shown in the process as well to the substitute Jair who's just come off the bench.
07:05I think Independiente Medellin were asking the question if it could have been a little bit more than just a
07:10yellow.
07:13Any intent one is to shoot.
07:16It's not taken.
07:17It's worked into a crowded area.
07:18Adson does.
07:19Big appeal for a handball.
07:20Big appeals.
07:21It's a corner.
07:23But players swarm around the referee.
07:29Crowded area as Adson tries his luck with a shot.
07:34Bodies in front of him.
07:36Where does this go?
07:39And that's inconclusive.
07:42And here's the defender with his arms out.
07:47It's as though it might catch an arm, does it?
07:53That's perhaps a better angle.
07:57And some shot comes away.
08:06And it's a handball, the free kick, the initial one at the other end is what has been given.
08:12No penalty.
08:14Moreira, Quirbano moves it on quickly, does well.
08:18Here's Brenna.
08:20Spreads it wide for Adson.
08:23Adson's got the overlapping run.
08:24Paolo Enrico is there.
08:25Delivers the cross in.
08:26They're queuing up.
08:27And there's the goal.
08:28They found it in the 84th minute.
08:31A breakthrough at last.
08:34And Vasco da Gama lead for the first time this evening.
08:43Beautifully worked down the right.
08:45With Adson involved.
08:48Brenna before that.
08:49The substitutes making a difference.
08:51A rampaging run from fullback.
08:54And who's on hand to deliver the final blow?
08:59The captain, Thiago Mendes.
09:01A little fortuitous perhaps with the finish.
09:04Heather Chao can't keep it out.
09:06But the substitutions pay off.
09:10And Thiago Mendes, one way or another, finds the finish.
09:15That finally puts Vasco da Gama in front in this tie.
09:26And they played, in fact, in the group stage.
09:29Chance to make certain.
09:31All the way as far as Adson.
09:35Play has now been stopped with the goalkeeper down injured.
09:39It's got a Gama, of course, playing this round because of the fact they finished behind Olympia in Group G.
09:45It ends up having to go through this playoff round.
09:50And they're minutes away from that swift reunion against the Panaguayan.
10:00It's got to be a free kick.
10:03And the card is coming out as well.
10:07Cling out the player that just came from the bench.
10:11All the visitors looked for this challenge.
10:15Mon Brenna just swiping at the ankles.
10:19It is enough for the referee.
10:21No time for even to take this free kick.
10:24Ramirez blows his whistle.
10:27Vasco da Gama.
10:29Have defeated Independiente Medellin here tonight by one goal to nil.
10:33Thiago Mendes' goal five minutes from time.
10:37Give them the win.
10:39The slenderest of margins sends the Brazilians through to the last 16 to meet Olympia.
10:45Pedro Emanuel gets his first win as manager.
10:50A crucial, crucial win.
10:53And one which those supporters would be hoping breathes a bit more belief and confidence into this side.
11:01Sitting in relegation in the Brasileirao.
11:04But, crucially, now through to the last 16 of the Commonwealth Sudamericana.
11:11A week off next win.
