00:00 And the referee gets us underway, those iconic gold and black shirts of Peñarol.
00:11 Black shorts, yellow socks, they shoot from left to right, Peñarol.
00:17 They look relatively confident early on, small sample size, but Peñarol come out the faster of the two teams.
00:26 Here is Leonardo Fernandez and Central, Rosario Central that is.
00:33 There he goes again, Leonardo Fernandez.
00:39 Well, no surprise that the tackles are flying in in the middle third of the park.
00:45 But here come Peñarol.
00:48 Ball in to Leonardo Fernandez, he has to do a little bit better, the ball in to him came.
00:55 First corner kick of the match, eight and a half minutes in, they take it quickly.
01:01 Oh, that's an unfortunate effort.
01:05 It's a long run up here, it looks as though it is Leonardo Fernandez.
01:09 And that is quite appalling.
01:21 Stands right now, Rusledico Mineiro and Peñarol quite happy.
01:27 First effort on target here for Peñarol.
01:34 Damien Martinez, Quintana, Mar show, they're all up there.
01:40 Obviously Quintana scored the winner.
01:48 Tackles are starting to fly in, here's Malkora.
01:52 Hamilton Campas tries to squirt the ball across the six yard box.
02:00 All hands Fernandez.
02:04 Easily gathered by Jorge Brun and he releases it quickly.
02:17 Damien Martinez, 34 years of age now at the Argentine, right back for Rosario Central.
02:23 Here's Gaston Ramirez.
02:26 Just about warranted a new.
02:36 Hamilton Campas, gone up well.
02:43 Rosario Central struggled a bit in the league in 2024, in the Copa de la Liga, 11th out of 14 in Zone A.
02:53 Only four wins from their 14 games and only 10 goals scored.
02:58 Here comes Fernandez, this must be a goal.
03:00 That's the trickery, that's the beauty of the magician they call Leonardo Fernandez.
03:08 He's picked that out, he dispatches with aplomb, the crowd go into raptures.
03:14 And Uruguay is a light tear.
03:19 Certainly the black and gold half of Montevideo anyway.
03:24 Terrific finish from the man we picked out to watch, Leonardo Fernandez.
03:31 He's got a wonderful left foot, it's a jinky, amazing little run.
03:38 Sells, Fernando Marcio, an imperious dummy, Marcio buys it.
03:45 And Leonardo Fernandez dispatches.
03:50 Terrific finish from the 25 year old.
03:56 One goal, three assists in Libertadores play, seven goals, six assists in 13 league games.
04:07 Boy, has this man got some real talent.
04:12 On loan from Toluca, that loan spell is up on July 31st of 2020.
04:18 Phase of the domestic Argentine campaign.
04:22 The second league campaign has only just got underway, one win, one draw, one loss.
04:28 Here's Malcora, always wide.
04:33 Malcora, diagonal ball, the goalkeeper comes, he gets absolutely nowhere near it.
04:42 He came like Superman.
04:45 A lifeline, if somebody like Quintana could turn this home.
04:50 Quintana didn't quite react in time.
04:55 The ball, hooked goalwards.
04:59 Russo, lead me to believe that he thought they should have had one penalty.
05:05 Possibly why he waited for the referee to come down the tunnel, before he followed.
05:12 Russo.
05:13 Rosario, Central, get us underway here.
05:19 Rosario Central, dressed in that predominantly white strip.
05:26 Hamilton Campas tries to fire it across goal.
05:29 Rosario Darius, the midfield four.
05:34 And Leonardo Fernandes, the goal scorer, and Maxi Silvera, the two boys up front.
05:39 As Hamilton Campas, Agustin Modica, the centre forward for Rosario Central.
05:46 An anonymous is being probably a little unkind to anonymous.
05:51 Damien Martinez crosses behind, one from the right hand side for Martinez, one from the left.
05:57 Three points behind Atletico Minedo, they don't care though, they will be through to the knockout stages.
06:03 It's a good ball, delivered into an area.
06:07 By.
06:09 Long range effort for Modica.
06:21 Nothing more than.
06:22 They give possession back once more and another spell from the goalkeeper.
06:37 Architects of their own downfall here.
06:40 Penarol, they got lulled into a false sense of security.
06:44 And Aguirre offers up another rebound.
06:50 Dreadful, dreadful ball out of defence from Mendes.
06:55 Into.
06:57 Hamilton Campas, it's a stinger of a shot that dips wickedly just in front of the goalkeeper.
07:04 But he has to do better.
07:07 I understand not being able to gather at the first attempt, but you have to push up to be back in this game.
07:13 But they got gifted possession by Javi Mendes.
07:19 And again, once again, has to take evasive action to get their hometown heroes back into the game.
07:27 Penarol under the cosh.
07:29 Aguirre comes again, that's better from the goalkeeper.
07:33 He swallows it up.
07:35 A couple of seasons now, two goals this season in 17 games.
07:40 One goal in 37 games.
07:43 National goes back all the way to 1900.
07:48 The oldest football rivalry outside of the British Isles.
07:54 Massive club, Penarol, massive rivalry.
07:58 Can he bring a little bit of a fresh attacking impetus to the team?
08:02 Levera can't though, he gives the ball away.
08:06 And the counterattack is on.
08:08 They've got numbers here, have Penarol.
08:12 What can they do? Surely they can!
08:14 They had to, they did.
08:17 And of course it's that man.
08:20 Leonardo Fernandes.
08:23 This is a goal of real sublime quality.
08:28 The counterattack was swift, it was incisive.
08:36 But above all else it was quality.
08:40 And unselfish play as well.
08:43 Is he onside though?
08:47 Is he just behind the ball as it's played across?
08:54 This is tight.
08:56 This is very, very tight here.
08:59 Rangles, they really are deceiving.
09:06 I thought he'd gone a little bit early.
09:09 It looks as though it's onside.
09:11 It looks as though it's a good goal.
09:13 It is.
09:14 He's got a brace.
09:16 Five of additional time.
09:19 But the struggle is real for Rosario Central in front of goal.
09:25 Aguirre goes down to try and waste a little bit more time.
09:35 Another ball just deftly flighted into the penalty area.
09:40 Demian Martinez turns and swivels for the left foot volley.
09:44 But it's an agreement.
09:46 Peñarol and Toluca come to.
09:51 Peñarol players cramping up now.
10:03 Just listen to this crowd.
10:06 [crowd singing]
10:10 [crowd cheering]
10:13 [upbeat music]
10:37 [music fades]
10:40 (upbeat music)
10:42 you
