00:00 In this tournament, Clu again more of the records they've scored in the last 13 home games in this competition
00:09 8 wins, 4 draws and just the one less Fluminense event in their famous three coloured shirts
00:18 We've decided that Colo-Colo are playing gold and the black shorts
00:24 It's an interesting time for the Celecao who are obviously just naturally and always amongst the favourites going into the competition
00:34 but there's real pressure on Dorival Junior
00:37 That's Marquinhos, that's the spinning effort which absolutely blazed into the back of the net
00:46 Marquinhos who came up from the ranks at San Paolo joined Arsenal
00:51 Couple of lone spells, decent siding for Fluminense in the Manacanã
00:58 Borges pinged out wide, he's onside
01:01 Looked like there was no immediate danger, shuffles it onto the left foot, curls it in wonderfully
01:11 and Fluminense are in front
01:14 Absolutely spectacular from the 20 year old
01:18 Just look at the confidence he's got to drift inside and to go
01:24 As you said, a teasing delivery
01:26 Hill on the far side
01:30 Good ball in and Colo-Colo are back on level terms
01:35 and Paiva, well it just had to be him, came racing in
01:39 A wonderful delivery from the Argentine
01:43 and the Colo-Colo fans now can celebrate
01:46 Game on here in the Manacanã and we've got a live wire here tonight
01:50 Tonight
01:51 How about that?
01:53 We weren't expecting that whatsoever
01:54 Look at the time and the space that Colo-Colo's centre forward is afforded
02:01 Look at that, there's no challenge, he's all alone
02:06 It's the simplest of headers for Paiva
02:12 Who we've been wondering about, where he would fit in, would he get into goal scoring positions
02:17 Well he did exactly that just then
02:20 Simplest of...
02:22 There you go, the rigid finger in the end
02:27 Now can Fluminense produce a teasing delivery
02:32 And the first half has come to an end, 1-1
02:47 45 minutes without a lot of opportunities but with a couple goals
02:51 Let's take a look at the highlights but after a break
02:54 So let's go to a break and we're coming back with so much more
02:58 As a visitor, so ladies and gentlemen, everything is ready, keep watching Beansports
03:18 Chiles, Colo-Colo
03:26 Looking around, Fabio, close down the space in the end
03:32 Fluminense, very straight, the first attack forward by Colo-Colo
03:37 Xabier comes away with the ball
03:40 It's not for a minute that Colo-Colo are about to go up the second Marquinhos
03:44 Dinks it in, chance here for Flo, they go in front
03:49 Calo, just had to be him
03:54 Marquinhos, stony face, his side, restore the lead
03:59 That's how dangerous the Argentine hitman is
04:03 He's hardly had a kick, not the tallest of players
04:10 Marquinhos who scored the opener from a very similar kind of position
04:15 And he out jumps the central defenders
04:20 Another early goal from Fluminense, Marquinhos eyes down at the ball
04:27 And he's just got that yard, powerful football because now the Chileans have
04:32 to chase an equalizer
04:35 Fluminense with that, we're going to score
04:39 One more than you Antitude, here they come again, it should have been 3-1
04:43 And he knows it, Calo, Colo-Colo rocking here, maybe a fortunate deflection
04:50 I think it was just about on
04:59 Great turn
05:02 And the run continues
05:05 Ole, on the Jinkies way forwards
05:13 There is the number 77, prepared to go both ways, stays on his feet inside the
05:19 area, chance here for number three
05:22 The header was a little bit wayward, there's a little bit of contact there
05:26 Flags come up three, throw in, he wants a card for simulation
05:35 This one, Xavier in trouble here
05:39 Options streaming forward down the middle
05:43 Great stop, follow-up turn down, Vidal sinks to his knees
05:47 Needs to stay on his feet but a sweeping move from Colo-Colo
05:50 Shirt was being pulled there, referee says okay
05:53 What a good opportunity they managed to carve out, all stems back to the mistake
05:56 by Xavier losing possession, and then with
06:01 Arturo Vidal, essentially in the centre forwards role
06:06 Just had a poke at it, it was a difficult opportunity
06:10 But that close to goal, with a player that, to be fair to the striker
06:16 It's such a difficult chance, you're so focused on getting it on target
06:20 That, a very difficult chance for Vidal
06:24 Vidal wins that ball back and this loose bounce
06:27 And it's in the net, they want to handball Fluminense
06:32 But as it stands at the moment, they are back on level terms
06:36 It substitutes Ovala, piling that ball into the net
06:41 And getting a few money rubs as a prize
06:46 Will it stand though, that is the big question, Flou-Adamant
06:50 Handball, all down to Vidal winning it back
06:54 They got it out wide, saying there, it was a handball from that angle
07:01 We can't tell
07:04 Still can't tell from that one
07:07 It will be reviewed by VAR, we know that, but how about this for the
07:10 impact, here's the best view of it
07:13 That's it, touch with the hand, it came off the chest first though didn't it
07:17 It does, but there's a hand, there's definite contact there
07:19 From Paiva, what about Savala
07:23 And those 50-50 calls when it's
07:26 Sometimes you get the impression they're guessing officials
07:29 But there was clear contact, but is it because it bounces off the body
07:33 That is the big question now, and will they apply that rule as well
07:37 Right, I think he's going to rule it out
07:40 He's going to take a look at it isn't he
07:43 Big moment, he's going to take a look at it isn't he
07:47 Big moment here for both of the, both clubs, both sides here
07:54 Oh they're saying it hits the body, or the arm first
08:00 That is another issue, does it bounce off the chest first
08:05 Being scored, as I understand it if there's
08:09 A goal scored immediately, as a result of it
08:15 You'd be in credit
08:18 That was a relief we got the right decision there
08:22 Just a few moments ago you felt, for every reason to believe they could get an equaliser
08:27 The damage limitation, this one just fails to dip in the end
08:33 Cerens
08:35 Claiming, claiming
08:39 It was the slightest of touches
08:43 It finishes the job, we've seen it a number of times tonight at Fluminense
08:47 They have been exposed and they've got away with it
08:49 Maybe three occasions
08:53 Oh Falcón for the challenge, Arias
08:58 Not had the best of nights the Colombian
09:02 Oh tight, almost like a training ground routine there isn't it
09:06 So many players around the ball, and the Fluminense footballers
09:11 They've tricked their way out of extremely tight positions
09:16 How many times is he going to drop on the floor as Cerens
09:19 Doesn't take anyone with him, he's wasted in the end
09:21 How many times is Vidal going to push him over
09:24 It's just a rabble round
09:26 He has that role doesn't he, that he has to play
09:28 He's been excellent tonight, he's been really good
09:29 He's been everywhere in the pitch, classic Vidal in that sense
09:33 And unlucky as well not to have converted that opportunity
09:36 That he had when he ghosted into the area
09:39 And there's the chance
09:42 Hit in with some real power
09:45 Wanting for Colo-Colo there
09:49 Well bang on with six minutes
09:52 And referee brings this one to an end
09:54 An eventful game here between Fluminense
09:56 So the match is over
10:00 Fluminense have just won 2-1 against Colo-Colo
10:04 And Fluminense is getting the first place of the Group A
