00:00No time for speculation.
00:03It is here and now where the teams must deliver.
00:07It's Sao Paulo versus Boca Juniors in the return leg of the Suramericana quarterfinal.
00:13I'm Joel Richards, your match commentator this evening.
00:16The Argentines have the thinnest of leads, the thinnest of advantages.
00:24First set-piece for Sao Paulo to use something they've worked on from the training ground.
00:29It's Artur to deliver.
00:33Headed clear by Leandro Párez.
00:36And now there's a counterattack on for Boca Juniors, led by Flores, the teenager.
00:40He's got Merentiel ahead of him.
00:43He finds the Uruguayan, Merentiel.
00:48Well, I was looking to go it alone, the centre-forward.
00:53Didn't really have a decent sight of goal, he did have support in Flores.
00:57He's got a few better opportunities in this set-piece.
00:59Artur delivers.
01:02Well, that's what they need more of.
01:05Santana on the end of it, who's Santana the replacement for Caleri.
01:09Difficult header by...
01:12Certainly.
01:24Here comes Artur, leading the charge.
01:27Lucas Ramon gets to the byline.
01:29That's a decent ball in.
01:29Oh, it's so close to being the opener for Sao Paulo.
01:3837 minutes on the clock.
01:41We have the first...
01:43...goal-mouth incident.
01:46And scoring opportunity.
01:49Which Montero reacted to brilliantly in Boca's goal.
01:57But no support whatsoever, having to go it alone.
02:00And also sense that he knew that was the case, and he was always looking for a way to
02:05wind up to shoot, as we saw the Perez doing there.
02:08A bit from a good 30 yards, if not more.
02:22The Boca faithful.
02:25Giving a good account of themselves in the stand.
02:28We reach the two-minute mark in this time added on.
02:33And we reach the midway point.
02:34It is Sao Paulo nil.
02:36Boca juniors nil.
02:39Cheers can be heard at the Morumbi for the home side.
02:44There's the change.
02:45Daniel Zinho has replaced, been replaced by that youngster we saw there.
02:50Jordney.
02:52The academy product.
03:02One change in midfield for Sao Paulo.
03:04We're back underway in the Morumbi, Luciano.
03:08Always under pressure from Paredes.
03:13Oh, a double deflection on the way forward.
03:22Sao Paulo reaching the final.
03:25Two and a half million, winning the competition, ten million.
03:32As there's a header on goal, but not one that tests Montero there from Luciano.
03:39Not mentioning those figures.
03:41Small change in the European game, perhaps, certainly in the Premier League.
03:46However, in South America, it's game-changing money.
03:50Luciano does really well to keep it going.
03:52Artur so too does the same.
03:54Here's Artur.
03:55For Sao Paulo, Luciano gets in the way, but he keeps the attack alive.
04:09What a kick to the tricolor.
04:13Still, they go in search of a goal that levels this fixture.
04:24Artur with the delivery to the near post.
04:29Well, that's the ball they look for.
04:31For Santana on that near post.
04:43There's an opening here for Boca Juniors.
04:45It's a real opportunity for them to possibly settle this tie as Lozano scores for Boca.
04:54A lapse of concentration at the back for Sao Paulo, right on the hour mark.
04:59The Argentines take the lead on the night, but the way they celebrate that shows
05:06that that could well be it.
05:08It's 2-0 on aggregate, and Boca Juniors have one foot in the semi-final.
05:18It's the run from Lozano
05:22through the middle of Sao Paulo's defence where no-one was tracking him.
05:27What a finish
05:30from the 27-year-old Uruguayan.
05:37Rafael unable to stop.
05:42And Arrua Barrena celebrates that.
05:48Knowing that that could be well.
05:51Game set and match for Boca.
05:52The Raiders.
05:59That was the heart on the edge of the area.
06:01Excellent block by Reda.
06:04And surely offside.
06:08Long count.
06:14Ryan with the ball in the back of the net, but
06:17well offside in the build-up.
06:22I will say that.
06:25And perhaps Villal will take a look at this.
06:42Well, getting nearer and nearer the danger zone of that final ten minutes where
06:50if Sao Paulo have struggled to find composure up until now, it'll get even worse as it falls
06:56on the edge of the area to Miguel Merentia.
06:59Told to get up by Tejeda.
07:02And this is Lautaro Blanco leading the charge for Boca.
07:07And Emerentia, the legendary Ecuadorian striker, preparing to come on for Boca.
07:12As Villa finds Ascaciba.
07:18What an opportunity that was for Boca to seal it.
07:26There was just five more minutes remaining and two goals in it.
07:33Surely too much for Sao Paulo to come back from.
07:37But never say never.
07:38This is Artur.
07:39No, it's Artur.
07:59Still Artur.
08:08Artur to deliver.
08:09Two minutes of normal time to be played at the Morumbi.
08:15Good ball in, and Sao Paulo finally found the net.
08:20Is there time for a dramatic comeback by the Brazilians?
08:30It's Domingos Duarte, the Portuguese.
08:34Boca disputed the free kick in the first place.
08:40It's as simple as they come.
08:43The delivery from Artur.
08:47Paul marking at the back by Boca.
08:53And with 90 seconds remaining, and time added on,
08:58is there hope for Sao Paulo? There it is.
09:021-1 on the night, one goal in.
09:06There could yet be another chapter in this Sao Paulo-Boca Juniors' Sudamericana quarterfinal.
09:18It's going down to the wire.
09:24Marcos Antonio, driving from midfield, didn't get the power on the shot.
09:29Aroa Barrena, suddenly.
09:34His heart, in his mouth, at 2-0.
09:40It should have been game seven, Matt.
09:43The challenge on Fleda. Artur once again with that delivery.
09:55Here's Sebastian Villa, one and one versus Marcos Antonio.
09:59Now there's support with Luciano.
10:02And the Colombian does really well.
10:04Not a good clearance by Montero, you know.
10:11Once again, he stays down.
10:17Natural things are boiling over.
10:25Boca celebrate.
10:40Boca celebrate.
