00:20 [Wind]
00:26 It's the final match in the group stage for these two teams in the Copa Sudamericana.
00:32 Corinthians and Racing are the top two clubs in the group, so both will be advancing.
00:39 [Crowd cheering]
00:45 Now, Corinthians try to create the final third for the first time,
00:49 with a pass behind its intended target, Fangnir.
00:53 [Crowd cheering]
00:57 And just a little bit behind him there, for Alberto, headed it wide, out for a goal kick.
01:03 [Crowd cheering]
01:07 Racing, the only team in the group without a loss, three wins, no losses, and two draws so far,
01:12 but Corinthians, the highest scoring team in the group, with 11 goals so far here in the first five matches.
01:19 This one comes in, headed wide for a goal kick.
01:22 [Crowd cheering]
01:25 It's barely on sides, it looked like, but coming in at that angle was going to be hard to direct that ball on frame.
01:31 [Crowd cheering]
01:36 Tiago Espinosa, towards the back post, space to work, and headed right on frame.
01:44 And there is Carlos Miguel making his first save of the game, the 25-year-old from Rio.
01:50 [Crowd cheering]
01:53 Headed through, comes free to Varro, and what a save!
01:56 Rebound, and Nandin couldn't get to it in time.
02:00 [Crowd cheering]
02:03 Still looking for their first shot on goal here.
02:07 It was the deflection again.
02:09 So, one way to look at it is, he's been terrific with just a few chances,
02:14 but there's a terrible giveaway, makes the save to recover, and then his defender helps him out here.
02:19 But just as we are singing his praises, he makes a costly mistake.
02:23 After the 1-1 draw with this racing side on Match Day 1 here in the Sudamericana,
02:29 they beat Nacional on Match Day 2, lost to Argentinos Juniors on Match Day 3,
02:34 and that one slotted through, and Yuri Alberto gets the first shot on goal,
02:39 but the save is made by Rodrigo Maldrizola.
02:43 [Crowd cheering]
02:49 He fires and scores!
02:52 [Crowd cheering]
02:56 A terrific strike, upper corner, Colenjians on the board here in Sao Paulo.
03:03 [Crowd cheering]
03:06 Inch perfect, could not place it any better.
03:11 And the 26-year-old from Argentina in his first year here in Brazil with Colenjians
03:16 has his first goal in continental competition with the club.
03:21 And for the moment, it lifts Colenjians into first place in Group F here on the final night of the group phase.
03:27 And finally, it's cleared away.
03:31 Gaston Matias. Colenjians looking for more.
03:37 Been way through this first half, they already have the 1-0 lead and now make it 2!
03:42 Yuri Alberto, his team-leading 6th goal of the competition.
03:48 [Crowd cheering]
03:54 Gets himself into a dangerous spot here as the cross comes in,
03:59 top of the 6-yard box, extends that right leg, and just gets it ahead of Robinson Ferreira.
04:05 [Crowd cheering]
04:08 And it takes a bounce over, Odriozola.
04:13 Wesley provided the service, and Yuri Alberto with the finishing touch.
04:19 [Crowd cheering]
04:23 [Ball hitting bat]
04:24 [Crowd cheering]
04:31 [Crowd cheering]
04:44 White shirts racing forward.
04:50 And a save by Odriozola, comes on the rebound, stoppage time goal by Igor.
04:57 Oh, but the flag was up. It's offsides instead.
05:03 [Crowd cheering]
05:13 In the U.S.
05:17 Racing has scored in every game so far in the Sudamericana this year,
05:21 but they've been shut out through the first half here tonight on the road in Sao Paulo.
05:29 Before getting into Group F as Yuri Alberto can't quite get to that one.
05:34 Now Matozinho attempts to bring it down, and a save made.
05:38 Another fine one by Odriozola.
05:41 He's made some really good ones here tonight.
05:47 Running into Yuri Alberto there, and then having to get back in position quickly.
05:52 Defenders not really helping him out that much.
06:07 And if they can't stay on the ball and maintain some semblance of possession,
06:10 they're not going to find it very easy to get back in this game.
06:14 Here is Hugo going around everyone.
06:17 Oh, and what a crafty, clever goal to make it 3-0, Corinthians.
06:27 A tremendous individual effort.
06:35 And then with two defenders tracking back, just a little bit behind the play.
06:43 Slided into the corner.
06:46 Third goal from a third different goal score for Corinthians,
06:53 and they pour it on here at home.
06:56 A loss is a loss, and it doesn't matter by how much at this point in the group
07:01 with the way things stand.
07:10 The two-time semifinalists here in the Copa Sudamericana on their way to the round of 16 once again.
07:21 And poised to remain unbeaten.
07:24 Three extra minutes on the clock.
07:39 Here's Thomas Veron.
07:41 And the left-footed shot is saved by Miguel.
07:44 Hasn't had to make many saves here in this second half.
08:03 It is over in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
08:06 Corinthians with a win on the final night of the group phase,
08:11 and they win Group F.
