00:01 The local Valencia, Venezuela.
00:04 Defensor sporting from Montevideo, Uruguay.
00:08 It's a round one, the first phase.
00:11 Looking for a few spots left.
00:15 [Music]
00:17 Calamea in the orange and blues.
00:24 You get this first half underway.
00:26 Kicking from left to right, pitch looking tryish but in real...
00:31 Very difficult to choose favourites at this stage.
00:35 There's a chance here for the Horace.
00:38 Can they find the back of the net?
00:39 They can!
00:40 They turn around, they look down the lines.
00:42 Is it going to stand?
00:44 A superb start.
00:46 Romero just broke down the centre.
00:49 He's absolutely swamped.
00:51 A dream beginning to their campaign.
00:55 In a comedy ball, it had to do it.
00:57 What a start for them.
00:59 It could not have got any better.
01:02 Storming down the centre.
01:05 Great first touch, kept his call, slid it under Dawson.
01:10 And they're off the mark already.
01:13 What a moment.
01:19 It's a pitch, not a lot of room to manoeuvre.
01:23 But they've done well on that far side.
01:25 There's a chance here for a volley.
01:27 It's hit well.
01:28 Very well indeed by José Álvarez.
01:31 Defensor building very nicely from the back now.
01:35 Just that final ball forward.
01:37 Defensor again, using that long ball forward.
01:43 Álvarez was the option.
01:46 Long-range efforts charged down by Bravo.
01:50 Nico Rodríguez will be on his right foot,
01:55 which suits the right footer.
01:57 Joaquín Valiente walks away.
02:00 And he has a goal!
02:01 They're on equal terms already.
02:03 Excellent delivery.
02:06 Facundo Bernal was not picked up.
02:09 Defensor are back on level terms
02:14 after conceding very early.
02:17 And he got a score.
02:18 Conceding very early and he got a save.
02:21 Faintest of touches to turn it into the net.
02:27 This could be trouble here for the home side.
02:32 I'm not sure if that was in the game plan
02:41 because it was hit in with some venom.
02:45 Álvarez, number 5, doing enough to...
02:48 A foot race on Mesner's side.
02:54 Álvarez is there first, waiting for support.
02:58 This could be dangerous for Academia.
03:00 They smash it clear.
03:02 Can they make something of it?
03:09 Number 7's in on goal!
03:11 And just hammers that one into the net!
03:14 And they take the lead for the second time.
03:16 Again, the marking just a little bit sloppy.
03:19 And Nico Fedor.
03:22 That's why they're complaining to each other
03:24 because it was a bit set short at the back.
03:28 Now this is what they can do.
03:32 They sat back far too deeply when we took the lead.
03:36 Came under the cosh, conceded.
03:39 As soon as defense are equalised,
03:42 they took the game to the opposition.
03:45 Found a way through.
03:47 It was a wonderful weighted ball in.
03:50 Set up very, very nicely.
03:52 But Álvarez was the captain.
03:54 He knew that Nico Fedor was going to
03:58 put that one in the back of the net.
04:00 So for the second time tonight, Academia in front now.
04:10 González, bursting run forward.
04:13 He set up the offense.
04:15 It's a clever dink ball inside the area.
04:17 But technique was nice from Rivero.
04:20 Two minutes have come.
04:24 And it is the Academy of Porto Cavello
04:30 who's taking the lead 2-1.
04:33 We're going to take a quick break.
04:35 We'll be right back with the highlights
04:37 of the first half of PITN Sports.
04:39 Let's see what that change will be for the hosts.
04:51 They've got a bit more purchase on that one.
04:57 The defence all number seven.
04:59 Plenty of orange and blue shirts inside the area.
05:05 There's the overhead kick.
05:06 And it gets the second bite of a cherry.
05:08 Fortuitous for Silva.
05:11 Another run.
05:12 That's a decent one.
05:14 And the defence all set it up nicely
05:17 in this stroke ball into the body of the keeper.
05:20 Fagundo Bernal again.
05:23 This one floating forward nicely.
05:30 A couple of ricochets inside the area.
05:37 Let's see if the defence all can get themselves
05:40 back on level terms.
05:43 There's the answer.
05:45 And the man who carved out the penalty
05:49 has found the back of the net.
05:51 Questionable, you have to say.
05:54 No doubting the quality of the penalty take itself.
06:05 Mancilla easily cut out.
06:08 Not far enough.
06:12 Rivero caught in two minds there.
06:17 Mancilla, wicked delivery.
06:32 The Uruguayans will be more than happy
06:35 if the scoreline stayed as it was.
06:37 All over the wall.
06:42 Keeper was stretching but just about had it covered.
06:45 It's on the left and it's spooned behind the goal.
06:53 Calacanibia puncture away through for the third time tonight.
07:01 Inside the area, a little bit of jostling.
07:04 It's bundled over the line in the end.
07:06 Right footed player.
07:08 Nicely retained possession.
07:12 Nice little bit of footwork.
07:15 A scuff shot!
07:16 And Academia take the lead for the third time tonight.
07:22 And will this late goal snatch all three points
07:26 for the debut boys?
07:28 It's a goal.
07:29 It's a goal.
07:31 It's a goal.
07:33 It's a goal.
07:35 It's a goal.
07:37 It's a goal.
07:39 It's a goal.
07:41 It's a goal.
07:43 It's a goal.
07:45 It's a goal.
07:47 It's a goal.
07:49 It's a goal.
07:51 It's a goal.
07:53 It's a goal.
07:56 It looks like...
07:58 ...it came off the number 14, Agassi,
08:03 in front of their own supporters next week.
08:06 Officially two minutes, got a feeling it might be more.
08:11 Packed area, ball over the top, Akip mobile enough.
08:15 And it's now and it's...
08:19 ...finally comes to an end here.
08:25 And a big, big night for the side from Venezuela, Academia.
08:30 The opening match was for Venezuela.
08:34 It was 3-2 for the Academy of Puerto Cabello.
08:38 We'll go to Montevideo next week.
