00:14An incredible atmosphere tonight in Rio de Janeiro.
00:17The first leg of the Libertadores round of 16.
00:21Botafogo playing host to Palmeiras.
00:26The home side, of course, in the black and white.
00:29Playing right to left in front of their home fans in this first half.
00:33The visitors from Sao Paulo.
00:36As this is an enterprising run into the attack for Botafogo across to Thiago Almeida.
00:42Shot blocked initially, and again, out for the game's first quarter.
00:47Rafael Vega.
00:49It's he and Moreno.
00:50Moreno steps two.
00:51It's Rafael Vega to deliver.
00:53A couple of Botafogo headers get it clear, but it's a bit lazy.
00:57Rafael Vega in.
00:58Oh, the foot race is on.
01:05Igor Jesus.
01:11Strikes it just wide.
01:12Igor Jesus was there in supports.
01:15The number seven shifting inside his man and inside another.
01:20Goalkeeper Huberton come out his line just to close down the angle.
01:25Murillo left for dead.
01:27So too, the captain Gustavo Gomez and Luis Enrique did all so well up until that's missed
01:40out on the title after that collapse.
01:41The team that would have suffered that 4-3 defeat to Palmeiras, Luis Enrique on the turn.
01:53Inches wide again, founds in a pocket by Thiago Almeida.
01:58It's a bright turn, and that is a brilliant save from Huberton.
02:06Fingertips.
02:07Palmeiras looking for a foul.
02:08Referee saw this shoulder to shoulder.
02:10If he only loses out, it's Botafogo going the other way.
02:15Almeida sprays it in to Igor Jesus.
02:20Igor Jesus for Luis Enrique.
02:23Botafogo strike first.
02:38And the third time's the charm for the Botafogo number seven.
02:43It's a glorious pass over the top from Igor Jesus.
02:46No chance of offside.
02:50And from there, a simple not-down finish for Luis Enrique.
02:59Igor Jesus on his Libertadores debut making an impact for the glorioso Luis Enrique.
03:08He's been the danger man throughout the night.
03:13It's his second goal of the tournament.
03:16It's Botafogo one, Palmeiras nil.
03:20Sean closed out quickly.
03:24Well, he was confident, perhaps too confident.
03:28Palmeiras into the attack.
03:30Palmeiras.
03:31Level it.
03:34Mistake from the goalkeeper.
03:36And seconds later, it's Mauricio who fires it home for the Murlau.
03:44Disaster at the back for the black and white.
03:51One hand to it from John, but it wasn't enough to keep Mauricio out.
03:59It was the goalkeeper's dithering on the ball initially that led to the turnover.
04:07And Mauricio made him and Botafogo pay.
04:19Marlon Freitas.
04:21It's part of the run of Igor Jesus.
04:23Got the turn!
04:24Igor Jesus!
04:26That is brilliant!
04:32Botafogo back in the lead!
04:36The new man for the lone star!
04:43With a star-studded performance in his Libertadores debut.
04:48A goal in stunning fashion to go along with this beautiful assist.
04:57What an effort!
05:00Corner kick, rolled shorts.
05:04Back again.
05:07Floated into the area by Mauricio.
05:12Looping header.
05:15Referee puts whistle to lips on an exhilarating and absorbing first half
05:22here at the Nilton Santos.
05:25Botafogo drew first blood in the tie through Luis Enrique in the 22nd minute.
05:32A perfectly measured cross over the top from Igor Jesus.
05:35Knotted down by the most dangerous man in the opening 4-a's.
05:39Trail by a goal at the break.
05:46Second half begins with high hopes for the Alvinegro of Botafogo.
05:52Their fans in good spirits as it's Botafogo on top.
05:57Two goals to one to start the second half here tonight.
06:02They've of course switched ends with the white and black.
06:06The Alvinegro of Botafogo left to right.
06:09Already a foul.
06:11Referee waved off the appeals after that coming together.
06:14That's what he saw it as.
06:16Clipped over the top.
06:19Botafogo into the area.
06:23Horseman swiftly arriving to join him inside the Palmeiras area.
06:29He used those as decoys.
06:32Luis Enrique.
06:34Backhill sends Almada into all sorts of space.
06:37Almada's cross.
06:40Bolivian outfit 6-0.
06:44Headed on for Estebau.
06:45He's into the area.
06:46Estebau.
06:47Stutter step beyond the defender.
06:49Estebau's cross.
06:53Held up by Taquino Suarez.
06:56Teus Martins.
07:00Lost track of where Marsal was down the sideline.
07:04Came out onto the pitch.
07:07He'll have to track back into formation now.
07:17Horse collar tackle.
07:19Picked up now by Alon.
07:23Cheche.
07:25He's got Ponte making up the ground to his right.
07:28Ponte.
07:30Deep cross swerved in.
07:32Poor communication.
07:34Gustavo Gomez didn't hear his goalkeeper.
07:38You can't really blame him.
07:45Can they add to the advantage ahead of the second leg next week?
07:50Ready to get in the box himself.
07:52The Botafogo manager.
07:55Outswinging service.
07:57Borboza!
08:00Chance for Alexander Borboza.
08:05He made a stunt.
08:08Just keep that in the back of your mind.
08:10Ahead of what should be an incredible second leg a week from this evening.
08:19It ends tonight at the Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos.
08:23Botafogo 2, Palmeiras 1.
08:27Abel Ferreira, the visiting manager, not at all happy with the referees.
08:31He has to be careful not to get a sending off after full time.
