00:00And now the 22 players are getting into the field, are getting into the pitch, looking for la gloria eterna, looking for the eternal glory in Conmebol Libertadores.
00:14On the other side, Gremio earned a first competition win this season with a 1-0 victory over Estudiantes at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi.
00:31A winner take all affair here this evening as it's an extension to the group stage of Conmebol Libertadores.
00:39And Group C takes center stage this week, Wachipato playing host to Gremio here tonight.
00:46A win from either side sends them through to the round of 16 at the expense of their opponent this evening.
00:52A draw will send it to the final day when Gremio welcome Estudiantes into their home away from home in Curitiba.
01:04Flicked on in the area, Gutierrez rose, couldn't get ahead to it.
01:08Importantly for Gremio, Jefferson Sotelo was there first.
01:12Still haven't cleared the danger.
01:14Cross in for Joaquin Gutierrez.
01:17Still alive, and now back for Castillo!
01:22Just wide!
01:24Bright starts.
01:26Loves the pressure.
01:29They built over those last two minutes from the free kick.
01:32Would be a bit of a shock if they are halted, their progress here in the group.
01:38Now then, they're spacing behind.
01:40What a move that is from Galdino!
01:43They'll get another chance in a couple of blocks at the near post.
01:46Lead to a Gremio corner.
01:49Tapped short for Cristaldo.
01:52Outswinger!
01:54Diego Costa at the back stick!
02:03First Libertadores goal in the distinguished career of Diego Costa.
02:09And he gives Gremio the early lead.
02:12Watch it Patonel.
02:15Gremio won.
02:16Gremio won.
02:18Rolled in for Cristaldo.
02:21And it is such a tantalizing delivery to the back post.
02:26Diego Costa holding off his marker Santiago Silva.
02:31And perhaps that was the initial mistake.
02:34The 19 year old tasked with marking.
02:40And the right back is into the attack here.
02:44This is a dangerous looking move in towards Maximiliano Rodriguez.
02:50Took a stab at it with the outside of his left boot.
02:53Brazilian top flight matches so far this year.
02:56Not released by Paraguay.
02:58Here's a mistake at the back. It's a chance now for Gremio.
03:00Cristaldo biding his time.
03:02Cristaldo slides it for Galdino!
03:04Saved by Parra!
03:09Of course it was from this corner they scored the only goal.
03:13Again it's worked training ground routine.
03:16The back heel! It's sensational!
03:19But the shot comes off the post and stays out.
03:22Well now we're going to look back.
03:24And it appears it wouldn't have counted.
03:27Difficult for the near side assistance.
03:29They pulled the last man back.
03:31Still.
03:33Go their way over these final two fixtures.
03:36As it stands Gremio making their way through to the round of 16.
03:42That final game to spare.
03:44Now that's a testing cross!
03:46Well it had. Marches seen.
03:48Returns to Cristaldo now.
03:55Cross turned out to be difficult to deal with.
03:58Soteldo taking a tumble.
04:00Quickly back to his feet.
04:03Likes this matchup with Castillo.
04:05He darts around the defender to the byline!
04:08Brilliant save Parra!
04:10When Soteldo was playing for Huachipato.
04:13Signs the end of 2016.
04:16Here is Soteldo picking off that loose pass.
04:18Soteldo rattles the woodwork!
04:23Gutierrez was just on his heels a bit.
04:25Now then there's a slip.
04:27All of a sudden it's 2 on 1 for Gremio.
04:30Cristaldo carries forward!
04:35Wonderful challenge. Gazzolo.
04:38Cristaldo and Reynaldo.
04:40Righty lefty over the dead ball.
04:42It's the left of Reynaldo!
04:44It's unmarked! And again!
04:46It's the right hand post that comes to Huachipato's rescue!
04:51It's Cristaldo joined by Soteldo.
04:53Cristaldo swerves it out onto the penalty spot.
04:56Not well dealt with.
05:01And a foul against Gremio.
05:08Was this a handball against Huachipato?
05:12Emano Gonzalez backpedaling.
05:17No penalty.
05:19And that will send us to half time here at the Estadio Huachipato CAP.
05:25It has been an absorbing first half here in Talcahuano.
05:29So the first 45 minutes are over.
05:36It's Gremio who are on the back foot to start this half.
05:40In the corner. It's curled in!
05:43Oh a menacing shot off the post on the follow up.
05:47Saved from Marchesin. His first of the night.
05:51And Soteldo.
05:53He's got it.
05:55He's got it.
05:56His first of the night.
05:58And so close to an equalizer.
06:01Just smacked off the far post.
06:05It was well struck on the follow up.
06:08Looks like it's Maximiliano Gutierrez.
06:10Their most dangerous man in the first half.
06:13Who found the woodwork with the initial strike.
06:16Now a throw in for Joaquin Gutierrez.
06:19Again hold up play.
06:21This time Martinez posting up from the throw.
06:23It's a pull but a shield. It's...
06:25Marchesin forced to tip it up and over the bar.
06:30Castillo running on to it this time.
06:33For Montes to deliver.
06:36This one's high into the night sky.
06:39All the way through to Castillo.
06:41Out.
06:43To defend is Jual Pedro.
06:45Cross in is a good one!
06:47Marchesin sprawls!
06:49Then he catches.
06:50With one lying prone behind the wall.
06:53Diego Costa is there.
06:55So is Cristaldo.
06:57It's a left footed strike.
06:59Oh and it screams through.
07:01And just wide of the keeper's right hand post.
07:03And that's victory over the strongest last Wednesday.
07:06Gotta be careful and watchful with the back passes.
07:09A couple attempts to get it clear.
07:11And now it's Soteldo racing into the area.
07:14Soteldo forced back to Cristaldo.
07:17The curler.
07:19Never coming back towards the frame of goal.
07:22Have...
07:24Improved on their first half performance.
07:26Can they find an equalizer?
07:28Punch to it from the goalkeeper.
07:30Saez can't get a strike beyond Cristaldo.
07:33He'll retrieve it before it goes out of play.
07:36Crowd now urging Wachipato forward.
07:38Time running out for the Astrodelos.
07:41Burst down the left.
07:43In towards Rodriguez!
07:45Kahneman and Martinez continuing their tussle.
07:49As we've seen throughout the match.
07:51Ahead of this corner kick.
07:53Smashed in towards the back stick.
07:56Headed behind.
07:58And a huge opportunity to find an equalizer.
08:02It comes up short.
08:04And Gremio have done the job on the road in Chile.
08:09Diego Costa.
08:11Heading home from a corner in the 6th minute.
08:14Is enough for the Tricolor.
08:18And Gremio have done it ladies and gentlemen.
08:21Gremio have just won 1-0 against Wachipato.
08:24And now they are in the 2nd place at Group C.
08:38WELCOME BACK.
