00:00 And hopefully this will be a very exciting game.
00:04 The people is excited, the atmosphere is electric, and this will be crazy because these two teams are looking for the same thing.
00:14 As you can see, La Gloria Eterna, the eternal glory.
00:18 River and Deportivo Tachiren.
00:21 On the other hand, we've got River Plate, that they lost just one of their nine away matches in Venezuela for Ecomnibol Libertadores.
00:31 Their balance is six victories.
00:33 Deportivo Tachiren, yellow and black.
00:40 Tonight, River in their traditional red and white.
00:44 Are we in for an upset?
00:47 Ecomnibol Libertadores are in Group H.
00:51 51 caps for his country.
00:54 Oh, a play, but the first sniff on goal.
00:58 Solari, the man we talked about.
01:01 Wood and black shirts available at the... I think the reverse ball.
01:05 Benitez, another one on the Argentine contingent.
01:10 Shooting opportunity is rather rushed.
01:14 I still think the Nacho Fernandez one was a bit harsh.
01:17 Benitez again, I think a different referee might have just had a word of warning.
01:22 It was so early in the game.
01:24 Here come River and Bortles efforts.
01:27 Sales just wide.
01:29 Gold and black, both sides guilty of giving away possession far too cheaply.
01:33 Nacho Fernandez has been in the heart of things.
01:36 Solari trying to make inroads here.
01:39 Again, Fernandez.
01:42 It's just knocked inside the area.
01:45 Chance here!
01:47 Somehow, somehow.
01:50 Borja, Borgia.
01:54 Being up on that far post.
01:57 Does he miss the ball entirely as it gets played in?
02:01 Miguel Borja.
02:05 Misjudging that one completely.
02:09 Yeah, Collido does really well just to get that.
02:12 Again, debatable, wasn't it?
02:14 That would have been the first talking point had Borja found the back of the net.
02:19 And River might just do that.
02:21 It's a nice turn, but it's lifted over.
02:23 A substitution there.
02:26 One of his coaches is going over to try and get a better view.
02:29 Nacho Fernandez then with the delivery.
02:32 A couple of bounces and knocked out of the night sky.
02:37 That's more like it to win the ball back in these kind of positions now.
02:41 They've got to finish it. The angle is tight.
02:44 The most opportune time to do that again.
02:51 What kind of delivery can we get from Nacho Fernandez this time?
02:56 It's a curl on XM, his end product.
02:58 It's failed to trouble the keeper.
03:03 Just for a second, the ball had run away in a referee's whistle.
03:08 Bring this first half to an end.
03:10 So we don't have goals in the first 45 minutes.
03:17 River Plate being a little bit better and we'll be taking a look at the highlights.
03:21 But after a break, we're coming back on Beach Sports.
03:25 River Plate then there, white and red to get the second half underway.
03:29 And immediately give the ball away.
03:33 Yeah, as you say, I think this first 15 minutes of the second half
03:40 back to back, it's a bit of a struggle.
03:43 It's a bit of a struggle to get the ball away.
03:46 It's a bit of a struggle to get the ball away.
03:49 Yeah, as you say, I think this first 15 minutes of the second half.
03:54 Back on his feet already.
03:56 Just being forced out.
03:59 You've got to give Deportivo some credit.
04:02 They have been able to force wide many of those river attacks.
04:07 Get them away from goal.
04:14 And it's spooned well off target.
04:19 Triangles can't help Deportivo.
04:27 Now is a break on here.
04:30 That's driven across the area. Missed by two.
04:33 Pace has livened up somewhat.
04:42 Immediately surrounded, Linsley, the youngster then drills on in.
04:45 Another appeal and in front of goal, the keeper makes a stop.
04:49 Well, denies the Colombian.
04:54 Really good little work there from Echeverry.
04:59 You wonder how close that wall is. He bends it forward.
05:03 Gets it again.
05:05 Tyler, after coming off the bench, squeezes the shot in.
05:09 And you can see the impact he's had already.
05:12 Oh, that's unfortunate.
05:15 That ricochet gives River Plate the lead.
05:19 An attempted clearance straight into the face.
05:23 Was that Borselli underneath it all?
05:26 Elba twists and turns. He's going to be feeling that one.
05:32 Yeah, check the heads in place.
05:36 A massive stroke of fortune is the nose.
05:39 Insane.
05:41 Bam, straight off the mush.
05:46 There you go.
05:48 Almost an uppercut.
05:50 And then just see the power of a shot and the ricochet into the net.
05:54 And River, a fortunate nose job.
05:59 Maybe a bit older than Manchester City would have liked originally.
06:05 Oh, this one balloons.
06:08 Di Bottivo again, just outnumbered.
06:20 Can they get that ball anywhere near this wall?
06:23 And flies into the net!
06:25 A wonder goal from an absolute mile outside the area.
06:31 Nico Fonseca, the Uruguayan.
06:35 What a wonderful strike from him.
06:38 So far out from goal.
06:43 So far out of the context of what we've seen tonight as well.
06:47 And certainly, just look where that man is now.
06:53 Sees the keeper a fraction off his line.
06:57 What's he aiming for a goal?
06:59 Well, you look at this, and it has to be a shot.
07:02 Certainly wasn't a ball down the centre to the likes of Borja.
07:05 He just let fly.
07:07 And from River, in a struggling position, they knife on themselves.
07:14 They've got this two-goal cushion.
07:16 River could go on.
07:18 Maybe snatch another, which would be the icing on the cake.
07:25 Curls wide, there's a follow-up!
07:29 It should have been number three.
07:31 It really should. They said it came off.
07:34 You're not going to complain too much when that player's made another match.
07:40 Opportunity goes begging.
07:43 That's the closest they've come, and there you go.
07:46 Jussing, of course, it's only natural inside the area.
07:53 Saw them sky a chance at Sosa.
07:58 And they get something here.
08:00 All three.
08:01 Cornerback shirts circulating around the ball.
08:05 None of them could make contact.
08:07 It's a goal!
08:09 It's a goal!
08:11 All they want is to get a move on.
08:14 It's in the legs!
08:16 That's given the crowd Sunday's issue about.
08:19 They score.
08:22 It's looking a little perplexed, and that is why.
08:25 The flag is up.
08:27 Might not be the end of the day.
08:29 Almost five.
08:35 And our referee decides that's it.
08:39 River then will come away from here.
08:41 They've got the points in the bag.
08:42 They've found the net.
08:43 They've got a clean sheet.
08:45 Couldn't be any better.
08:47 A big night for Deportivo.
