00:00Flamengo well away from their own goal, at least for those magic 15 minutes so they can settle down.
00:08Away we go then, Libertadores action as well, the ball is already stretched out of play.
00:13Varela, one time of Manchester United.
00:17Absolutely spot on there John when you talk about the opening 15 minutes.
00:21That's what Bolivar need to survive really, and I use that word aptly because they've just got to survive the opening 15 minutes.
00:31Very congested down the centre, Jesson very heavily footed on the left hand side.
00:37Now Pedro away from one marker, will win the game's first call.
00:41Valeriy Kulga.
00:45Well they're bossing the show here Flamengo, but Varela's delivery far too close to the keeper.
00:51Now the supporters expect more trophies, and the likewise can be said of Flamengo.
00:57Flamengo have had their ups and downs in their rich history.
01:01Interesting to see exactly where he ends up in his Flamengo side.
01:06Now Pedro a long, long way back to win the ball in midfield.
01:11Now Flamengo still can break here.
01:14Luis Araujo.
01:16Ayrton Lucas.
01:18Jesson to left.
01:20Sends it almost into the stands.
01:23Which was, and I think, well at the time, an absolute packet.
01:29As Pedro tries to lay it off, it goes down again.
01:32This month, you know, incredible season in 2019, got all the quality.
01:37Ahaskuyeta took it down well, Rampe again, Jesson's on the follow up.
01:42And stays it just wide, there's a flag which has been raised.
01:46Gabriel Bobo's are very comfortable, knowing that they're better than 99% of what's around in South America.
01:53But they would not fall into that category if they moved to Europe, where they would have to work.
01:57And that is the big thing.
01:59Of course, there's no chance, just to put it into context.
02:04Oh, Jesson on the end of it.
02:06Rampe again makes the stop, but he's down inside the area.
02:10A couple of chances missed by Flamengo.
02:12He's further up the pitch.
02:14And on that occasion again.
02:18Flamengo signed him when Adela Cruz was on a bit of a downward curve.
02:23He hasn't really picked up his move to here.
02:27Well, Savio wants to come back on.
02:32Oh, a turn.
02:34Might pay off, it's mishit!
02:36And almost steered into his own net by Fabrizio Bruno.
02:42Good ball to Adela Cruz.
02:45Starting the charge.
02:47Short of options.
02:49Saw Ahasvaeta.
02:52Oh, Jesson.
02:54Looking for Pedro, no chance on that occasion.
02:57But, still have the ball.
03:04At least momentarily.
03:12Flamengo just starting to flow here at the delivery cut-out.
03:18From, or by Adela Cruz, who wins it back.
03:21Jesson over the top.
03:23Rampe scuttles off his line.
03:26Got it from under his feet.
03:28Referee's going to play the advantage.
03:30Now, chance here for Aruujo.
03:32Can he bury it? He can!
03:35Well, he thought about ripping the shirt off and then thought against it.
03:39Aloysio Aruujo.
03:42Finishes off a fine move.
03:46When the Flamengo fans wanted a free kick initially, it didn't come.
03:51Flamengo took it.
03:52That, Mr. Cotterill, is fabulous officiating.
03:55Because he allows the play to go on.
03:57And allows Flamengo to do what Flamengo do best.
04:00Which is just carve open the Bolivar back line.
04:04Beautiful touch from Pedro.
04:06We know he's a goal scorer, but he's got that in the locker as well.
04:08And it's all about the eyeballs from Aruujo.
04:09Just has a clear idea of where he wants to put it.
04:11Slots at home.
04:13Flamengo haven't been perfect in the opening half hour.
04:15But they got their goal.
04:17Just a demonstration of where they go from that third to fifth gear.
04:19What they can produce.
04:21But it's really, really good refereeing.
04:23And a very, very good goal.
04:26Now, Bolivar undone.
04:28Really good refereeing.
04:30And a very, very good goal.
04:33Now, Bolivar undone.
04:35Slickest move of the match.
04:36From the Juveniles.
04:38Luiz Aruujo.
04:41Might have been a booking as well.
04:43Again, an excellent refereeing, as you said, by Wilmar.
04:46Rolled on.
04:52Goal as well.
04:54Coming.
04:56Just when Flamengo needed it.
04:58On the 29th minute.
05:00There's no need for a VAR check here.
05:02Clearly onside.
05:04With a naked eye.
05:07Just as the Juvenile fans are getting a little bit impatient.
05:16Half an hour gone.
05:18Flamengo have that breakthrough.
05:25Pedro de la Cruz.
05:27An aerial contest.
05:31Well, he thought about the shot momentarily.
05:33Jesse.
05:35Very casual.
05:38And Pedro now.
05:41On his bike.
05:43Struggles as one challenge.
05:45Then pulls up.
05:47Is a hamstring for Pedro.
05:49And that is...
05:53That's a clever ball forward.
05:55Gomez is there.
05:57The keeper momentarily lost sight of that one.
05:59And Fabricio Bruno came through.
06:00First time tonight.
06:02Where the Juveniles have looked a little bit.
06:05Second goal now would be perfect timing.
06:07It's too close to Lampey.
06:10De la Cruz.
06:14Luis Araujo.
06:16It's not a down, but no real power from Leo Pereira.
06:19Stayed forward.
06:25And it's a goal.
06:27It's a goal.
06:29Three minutes have come and gone.
06:37And our referee brings his first half to an end with Flamengo.
06:39Then with a one goal lead.
06:41Thanks to Luis Araujo.
06:44That's an awful lot of gap there for Bosa.
06:46And we'll wait to see what happens in the second half.
06:51Flamengo then to get the second period underway.
06:54And they're famous.
06:55Denis Semele shots.
06:57Red and black.
06:59White shorts.
07:05How are these to approach this second period?
07:08Bolivar have had them.
07:10But now Auges.
07:12And the ball down was sent as a good one.
07:14And Barela was there.
07:16Whack clear by Rossi.
07:18Ahaski actually went down quickly.
07:20Then quickly back on his own feet.
07:22Fabulous work.
07:23Not a penalty.
07:25Fabulous referee.
07:27It's rare that we see cards given up for simulation.
07:30Nowadays.
07:32But Ahaski bounces back quickly on his feet.
07:34Now Savio.
07:36Swings it out to the far side.
07:38And that's poor control.
07:42That's very sloppy.
07:44Here to Lucas on the outside.
07:46Lukas.
07:48Almost makes it two.
07:50It's really good.
07:51Almost makes it two.
07:53Try to work it forward.
07:55It would be a real killer blow.
07:57If they could get on the end of this.
07:59Which they can do.
08:01And it strikes a crossbar.
08:03Nice curl on this one.
08:05And it fires into the net.
08:07Pajero's there.
08:11Well the aerial plays.
08:14Work for the Hubenegro's here.
08:19And a perfect time to score.
08:21Very, very late on.
08:23And had to be.
08:25Harujo's delivery.
08:27On the number four.
08:29Steering it into the back of the net.
08:31That changes the entire complexion of this tie.
08:35Big, big goal.
08:37Mr. Cotterill.
08:39And you know what?
08:41I think the goalkeeper is going to be slightly disappointed.
08:43Yes, it comes to him quick.
08:45But just gets his arm position a little bit wrong.
08:47Take nothing away from the goal scorer.
08:49That's the goal that might just see them
08:51add an additional buffer.
08:53I was actually interested to see Gabi goal.
09:03A referee closes his whistle for the final time tonight.
09:07And Flamengo with that second goal.
09:11Really just changed the whole picture
09:14for the away leg next week in La Paz.
