00:00Playoffs in the Suramericana this week. It is Imrancagua, Chile, O'Higgins versus the Argentines, Boca Juniors.
00:09Let's take a place in the round of 16 in the Comibor Suramericana. It is finally poised.
00:16Argentines, the Argentines won last week 1-0.
00:21They failed to extend that lead, so there's no margin for error for having the most number of titles.
00:29In that competition. Here's Aranda. A bit of space, time to turn. Finds Blanco, the left back.
00:35It's a lovely ball in, but it's a bit too close to Caravalli.
00:41Arrua Barrena, the manager, Boca back for another stint.
00:46And the title with them in 24 skill from Aranda to skip away from this man. That's a lovely ball
00:51for Blanco.
00:54You're already seeing that partnership down the left flank.
00:57Sebastian Bijo, who hasn't been in the game so far.
01:03Ascaciba, looks like a target man, but this is Blanco now with the opportunity to deliver.
01:08Clear by Robledo.
01:10When he broke onto the scene last year, here he is again.
01:17They're knocking on the door, Boca.
01:20Lozano. Ascaciba is able to turn.
01:32Take a deep breath, O'Higgins.
01:34Ten minutes on the clock, goalless, but Boca have looked dangerous.
01:39It was classic Tomas Aranda, Bucin, which gifts possession back to O'Higgins.
01:47Sarrafiore.
01:50Castillo on the edge of the area.
01:58Puts it wide, failed to test Montero.
02:06Set up really nicely for the Paraguayan.
02:15Who found this.
02:19Lofty cross that Montero drops.
02:26And jeers.
02:32Paraguayan.
02:33Tarrafiore.
02:34Lovely bit of skill.
02:36There's a challenge of this.
02:37González.
02:39Bravelo.
02:42Was there with the flick on.
02:45And unfortunately there was no one close enough to really capitalize on it.
02:48But that's far and away the best move from O'Higgins so far.
02:53With that skill from Sarrafiore.
02:56Bravelo.
03:00Miguel Merentiel scored last week, but it's not that kind of strike.
03:04It's not that comfortable in that kind of role.
03:12But they are perhaps slightly out of north, Bocca, when they attack.
03:22But it is there.
03:24By the way, one of seven watched by Blanco.
03:33Piling on the pressure here, O'Higgins.
03:37Disuela.
03:40It does end in that shot on target in the half hour.
03:46A little opportunity for a set piece for Higgins.
03:52Bravelo.
03:53It's close to Montero.
03:55Who gets an excellent fit.
03:58Lacking that extra ingredient.
04:02Another decision goes against Castillo.
04:06Time for the foul on Figaro.
04:08Robledo.
04:14Gonzales.
04:16Chips it into the far post.
04:18Brisuela puts it in the mix.
04:20Castillo can't do anything with it.
04:22This is Robledo.
04:34Challenging for that ball.
04:36For that ball.
04:40Don't gather.
04:41Well.
04:41He was.
04:50And Roldan.
04:51Clothes his whistle.
04:53Bring it to an end.
04:55The first half that started brightly for Bocca Juniors.
04:59Then really good minutes.
05:08Back on the way then.
05:11In Branca Agua, Chile.
05:13At the Estadio Codelco El Teniente.
05:16O'Higgins.
05:17Named after the Chile's independence hero.
05:21Up against Bocca Juniors.
05:25One of the giants of South America.
05:27Blanco though has a bit of space.
05:29This fast Casiba.
05:34Gonzales.
05:35Deep to Serrapiore.
05:39And Castillo challenges Montero.
05:46Goalkeeper will always be favoured.
05:52There's a header in there.
05:53But it's over the bar.
05:59Centre back.
06:00The Argentine centre back.
06:02Bounders.
06:05For Robledo.
06:08And it's a tame.
06:12That's the shot.
06:18And Bocca are in trouble at the back.
06:19But it's a foul in there.
06:33It's over everyone's head.
06:48The Xan years.
06:50It's funny.
06:51But does really well.
06:51To skip past Lozano.
06:55And that will be the first yellow card of the game.
06:58It could have been ones previously.
07:01That is undoubtedly.
07:04A challenge that warrants.
07:21It's a free header there.
07:22That should have been on target.
07:26Isabel is fully aware of that.
07:29A 29 year old former Vélez Instituto.
07:31the two-door
07:36climbed he's all alone
07:46not happy once again Jan is and there's a foul and dangerous spot here big out on
07:57sad view it a another yellow card
08:14well then
08:19the lighter side of things as he discusses the decision with the book of juniors
08:26players
08:41that's these oh oh it's there it's a brilliant goal from O'Higgins they don't
08:48need another center forward they've got Francisco Gonzales on his farewell night
08:53at the club
08:57he'll be leaving for Mexico but he'll do so a hero
09:04fabulously executed goal from Paco Gonzales
09:10puts O'Higgins ahead on the night and draws this tie level it has been coming
09:24a fan's favorite Gonzales leaving the match of days for Mexican football
09:34big questions for Nicolas Figal his clear clearance here the head up straight to
09:42the danger zone straight into an area where
09:47Boca need to defend
09:48and it just so happened that that is where Francisco Gonzales was lurking
09:55skip past every O'Higgins player can't do it all alone that's a late challenge there
10:04fourth booking for Boca
10:14reckless challenge
10:25Blanco who's venturing forward rarely since Flores has come on
10:33to keep it tight at the back and take care of Gonzales
10:36to keep it tight at the back and take care of Gonzales
10:37this is Perez
10:39that's a lovely pass
10:43still they attack
10:44and still they can't find a way through and still
10:47they still have yet to test Caravalli
10:56and as for O'Higgins as another shot goes high and wide over the O'Higgins goal
11:02well the Chileans
11:06make them sense
11:08they've got
11:10Boca Juniors
11:18deep from Gonzales
11:20Montero
11:21prefers not to collect at first
11:24then secures
11:26into the last minute normal time
11:27that's a fabulous save from Caravalli
11:33brilliant to Danai Aranda
11:38and finally they have a shot on target
11:43Caravalli was equal to it
11:4689 minutes
11:47it took Boca Juniors to
11:50contest these as we're
11:51at the end of time added on
11:53one final attack
12:03Wilma Roldan
12:06brings proceedings to an end

12:13and go to penalties
12:29we talked a lot about the shots on target
12:33O'Higgins did have more

12:35many more than that
12:35first up
12:41is
12:42Francisco

13:59a lot of hard work
14:00that goes unseen
14:01chasing down
14:02his bit
14:03for O'Higgins
14:06Merentiel whose goal it was
14:09in the Bombonera
14:11now the Uruguayan
14:14converts
14:14with a
14:15brilliantly taken penalty

15:14with two penalties still to go
15:18there is
15:19a match we talked about there being no margin for error
15:24Paves
15:26ah it's a brilliant save
15:28from Monteiro
15:32the second penalty
15:35that O'Higgins failed to convert
15:44and
15:45two match points now
15:46for
15:48Boca Juniors
15:49it is
15:52the 19 year old
15:56gets ahead of himself
15:59that's a lack of respect
16:00from Aranda
16:01and Carabelli lets him know
16:07he felt himself he was going to be the hero
16:13you've got to earn it
16:19and that is not good enough
16:21there's an opening for O'Higgins here
16:23they have to
16:28which he does
16:31Boca Juniors now have
16:33the opportunity to
16:34finish this tie
16:36convert this
16:37they're through
16:47to the round of 16
16:48will take a penalty there from
16:48the Swilla
16:49gains the ship
16:50Calabelli against Blanco
16:53and the left back scores the winning penalty for Boca Juniors
17:01it wasn't to be for O'Higgins
17:03it wasn't to be for O'Higgins
17:04Boca Juniors are through
17:06to the round of 16
17:07in the Sua Medicana
17:12relief more than anything
17:15for Boca
17:18tears amongst the O'Higgins players
17:21they dared to believe
17:23and rightly so
17:24because they gave
17:25the Shinesi
17:26they gave Boca Juniors
17:27a run for their money out there
17:30it could have been different
17:31in normal time perhaps
17:35O'Higgins could have
17:36grabbed the second
17:39just in beating Boca Juniors
17:41they did their part
17:43they did what they needed to do
17:46and ultimately
17:47it was one
17:48spot-kick
17:49the difference between these two sides
17:53and those somewhat sheepish
17:56celebrations from Boca, I'd argue
17:59tell quite the story
18:00this is a club that's
18:01not finding its feet
18:04struggling to get up
18:07it's a defeat tonight
18:08they've won
18:09they've gone through on penalties
18:10but it's
18:10in the 90 minutes
18:12they lost
18:15and that explains some of the tears out there
18:19amongst the players there
18:20amongst the players there
18:20.
