00:00As we talk lineups how much rotation is starting 11 might be the best available 11 Daly
00:04And that means a start for Levante Johnson who had a goal and an assist in the last game
00:09It's tough humus
00:09They rely heavily on the ability of their wide players as well and especially Cesar Huerta the Mexican international who led the team and goal
00:17contributions last season and his own
00:20Impact in this match here. We are into the knockout stage at Leagues Cup 2024 Pumas controls here at BC play Stadium
00:30To the back line for Pumas
00:36Let's get for Huerta again down the left side cradles that nicely and from distance
00:41Wide of the mark, but why not?
00:44horrific
00:47Nearly gave it away and said it just gets three now Pico on the charge
00:52Berhalter cutting that back tries to shot tries to pick up the far quarter doing the work to win the ball defensively just couldn't get
00:58it through there
01:00Cala Cala by Vitae sports through because that's home from distance just
01:06Bounds that into the arms of yo, hey taco. Okay. He probably wanted more than that
01:10Who must take it out in air and Sebastian Berhalter will use the advantage?
01:16To get it to Pico
01:18Just inside the area now floats that one into the middle
01:22Good service what a save my goodness
01:25Or the Copa America rather and that is just a sensational save in close
01:31Levante Johnson, it's it's a good play down the left side for Fafa Pico to get the cross away and
01:37Johnson who was stopped in close against Tijuana from about this far out the attempted entry into the box
01:47Just at the edge of the area now
01:50There's little backing down you can get room to take a shot
01:54Johnson one touch there for white and now a return pass for Levante Johnson Johnson
01:59He's in all over tracking back. It's been a window Johnson stopped by Gonzalez again another great save
02:05But what a beautiful touch from Johnson uses speed to get that shooting chance
02:09That's the touch there and then what play for Brian white to to put him into the path where he just runs onto it here
02:15The chasing defender has been a Vendo, but again Gonzalez able to quickly get down to his left
02:21Showing his speed even at 33 years of age
02:25Rico continues the switch over to Huerta working against Ali Ahmed on the right foot
02:31Punched away by taco. He could see the power
02:34That's all the keeper could do in three two and that much and almost from this exact position again
02:40So good at finding the space internally Ahmed lays off him a little bit too much and that allows that shooting opportunity lots of power
02:48Right out the goal such a danger up and down that left side and when he gets over to the right as well
02:53That's where he is right now to take this corner kick
02:57Cover
02:58Meg on Ali Ahmed now, it's back to Ruba cover
03:02Quick touch taco for the diving save to his left. Excellent save
03:08As the the one two not well read by the white caps as they get to be one river cover plays it back
03:19Played by
03:20Laborta with the set hope trying to split a couple of defenders would pick in a little trouble
03:25We will cover our keys pay pardon me keys pay
03:28What
03:32He would not be denied says our partners on the board in 2024 League's Cup, it's 1-0 Pumas
03:42And it's a thick laboring on the ball already caught in possession
03:46And when keys pay goes around the corner there Laborta doesn't dive in
03:51But it allows Huerta to just simply side footed beyond taco
03:56The white caps running in circles there and Pumas make some pay early nice finish from Huerta into the side netting
04:04And 36 minutes in it's 1-0 for the visitors. You can see in the replay
04:09And Laborta pushes forth and that is it right on the number one minute is done
04:16Scissor Ramos blows his whistle and we are through 45 minutes here at BC place with
04:21And
04:23We are underway in the second half
04:27And we'll see how the formation might change here for the white caps
04:31And as a right wing back for the most part in the last little while. He's been sensational there
04:38Inside the box back and another test for Gonzalez
04:42Ryan white can't beat him this time
04:45He's to the middle picked up by
04:47Pumas
04:50That's it
04:52Into the box working against Laborta cuts to the middle now on that right foot leaves it there with his left door
04:58Hey into the middle and touched it
05:00perfect from Rubalcaba
05:03And now the lead is two for Pumas it's beautiful football for Pumas
05:09Fantastic work all the way around with that two goal advantage you were speaking about Blake. Here's Huerta
05:14Taking the ball from Duarte and look at the touch that he plays in here. That is beautiful
05:21And a good driven ball across from Duarte just opening the foot
05:27Is Rubalcaba. They don't seem to be as pressured
05:31They're not expected necessarily to score, but he took that so well now
05:34He's tripped up here coming in centrally and there's gonna be a yellow card come out to Papa Pico
05:40So he does have a book with him
05:43Ali Ahmed
05:45In for Pico blocked at the last second by Natan and a good we can't come down with it, but another phase here
05:50Ali Ahmed looking for Pico
05:57Few and far between
05:59Julio Gonzalez has stood up to the test another great save
06:03The save you think you'd make because it's quite close to him, but Raposo does a nice job to turn so quickly
06:09Portland he'll have them outside the area here
06:12Orange goal and Gonzalez
06:16Just put another one
06:18Amongst his easier perhaps, but none of them have been all it takes is a little touch
06:22And you've got a strike on goal from a short distance
06:25But it's very much controlled. There's a big enough challenge
06:30He'll dribble backwards
06:31As we hit 94 minutes on the nose and Cesar Ramos puts an end to this one
06:36And PC plays Pumas moves on to the round of 16 with a two-nil win over Whitecaps
