00:00Against fellow Brazilians, Atletico Mineiro in the first leg of this quarterfinal clash in the comp of all Emertonauras.
00:17Marias and Steele. Kevin Serna. Barbosa. Bernal. The Uruguayan Bernal. Is he going to get a free kick for that? No, he's just the referee. Here is Hulk.
00:35And now Atletico Mineiro to Hulk. Keeps it moving. Arana has his cross. Hulk is trying to pick up the pieces. It's really cleverly done.
00:53Gustavo Scarpa standing over the set piece. Scarpa's ball in. It's the bad one. It was towards Hulk initially.
00:59Weinschlag looking for the run of Paulinho. Tiago Silva was back there just to bundle the ball really.
01:12Finds Arias. That's clever from Arias. Tutu Aymat inside the centre. Cut back. It's a decent one. Serna missed his kick.
01:26Still Hulk. He's got Scarpa in support. Hulk cuts inside. Still it's Hulk. Deflection. Fabio makes the save.
01:38Well, I think they were trying to press Bernal. Play forward towards John Arias. He's there first. John Arias.
01:48He used to be on the goalkeeper but just didn't have the required.
01:52Was so close there for half time. Fluminense, the defending champions, nil. Atletico Mineiro, nil.
02:05So we don't have goals in the first 45 minutes. Fluminense and Atletico Mineiro, nil, nil. Very interesting first half. And I'm sure the best is yet to come.
02:22And as yet nothing to choose between the two sides. Fluminense probably just about edging that first half. It was very tight indeed.
02:44And a big blow for Fluminense with the injury to the captain Tiago Silva.
02:52Here's an opportunity for Bernal early on. Find Scarpa. Scarpa of course with that disagreement with Hulk towards the end of that first half as the players are walking off. Hulk loses out.
03:06And he's trying to pick up the pieces. Comes to John Arias. Here's John Arias for Fluminense. He got hold of it. Scarpa.
03:21Down the line to Hulk. To Hulk. Fuchs. Scarpa in support. Find Scarpa. You start with Scarpa.
03:35In between the lines now. And it's Hulk. It's a real chance for Hulk inside the area and didn't Tiago Santos do well.
03:43Masella wins it back though. Masella with a striker goal.
03:47Might break now for Cauelhas. Left fly over the crossbar. Hasn't had too many sightings today.
03:55Keeper having to make a really big save. Might change here though. Forward come Atletico Mineiro.
04:02Slowing down the pace of everything though.
04:06Gathered by Scarpa.
04:10It's time for Fuchs. Scarpa will get there first.
04:16Cano is back there helping out and Hulk for Atletico Mineiro.
04:23Hope to strike it into the wall. Look at the second attempt. Good ball into the area.
04:29Might have gone up, I think.
04:37They come once more. The away side. No wonder if now they think they can nick it.
04:45They think they can get a goal.
04:49They wouldn't put the cat amongst the pigeons, wouldn't it?
04:52Now a chance for Atletico Mineiro. Now a chance for Palacios to stretch his legs.
05:17Masella is back there though. Helping out.
05:31Not done just yet, are we? It's Cano. Canso.
05:38Neatly done for Cano. Opportunity now for Fluminense.
05:42Cano the substitute. Cano hangs up the cross. And it's in.
05:48Lima scores. And the defending champions lead at the Maracanã.
05:55They always get the job done at home. In front of these fans. They always deliver.
06:11That's two of the five substitutes combined. Cano on the outside. Lima with the header.
06:32Everson won't be happy when he looks back at that.
06:36It was a nut purchase on the header though. And the goalkeeper can only touch it into his own net.
06:45It's been a tight, tense game at the Maracanã. But the moment of the night has fallen for Fluminense.
06:53And they lead in the tie by a goal to nil.
06:57Canso lets it go. And now here's Hulk. Canso is back there to mop up.
07:05Here is Zafir.
07:10Throw in for Fluminense.
07:16Cano the substitute. Arias lets it go for Lima. And now Canso.
07:23Get a strike away.
07:26Oh, it's really well done by Fluminense to win the ball back.
07:31Here's Herman Cano and John Arias and Canso.
07:36I think it's been magnificent this evening. The young man.
07:46John Arias. Zafir. Arias is inside the area.
07:51It's gone back to Fluminense. But the free kick has been awarded. Final seconds in the contest.
07:56I think Manero came to the Maracanã tonight with a game plan. They wanted to squeak away with
08:04a draw. Ello involved in one or two heated exchanges of words.
08:11I must say, he's got to be careful there.
08:14Full-time whistle goes. The defending champions have a lead to protect and preserve.
08:22And the match is over. Fluminense secured a crucial one-nil victory in the first leg of their
08:30Capa Libertadores quarterfinal against Atlético Mineiro at the Maracanã.
08:36First leg of their Capa Libertadores quarterfinal against Atlético Mineiro at the Maracanã stadium.
