00:00Kolo Kolo, 1-0 and 4-0, 1-0 in 2007, 4-0 in 2022.
00:08River has won 8 out of the 9 previous matchups.
00:18Gold shirts, and will it be gold for Kolo Kolo tonight, Joel, or are they going to end up with bronze?
00:26Well, nicely put, nicely put. I think Gallardo very much has his sights on taking River Plate through to the semi-final.
00:33They are favourites tonight. They got the result they needed away last week.
00:38A draw, they put in, as you said, there was a contest, it was a battle, wasn't it?
00:42Almiron's side really were excellent, and I say that having, on the basis of what we've seen from them in the Libertadores.
00:50As Kolo Kolo start to settle down, 3 minutes on the clock.
00:53Not intimidated, now here they come, shooting possibilities.
00:57It's been a fortunate slip in the end.
00:59Claims it, got a touch for Kolo Kolo, but made his clip to White Sock.
01:09Very much the way the Libertadores have been looking in recent years.
01:13Using it out within, deep back inside the area, River are in front.
01:18So far the flag stays down, Coligio, it looked very tight indeed.
01:24It just pounces on that loose ball inside the area, and the stadium absolutely.
01:30What Coligio brings to the team, we were talking about his teamwork, his linking up play, his strength, his movement.
01:38But here is his finishing.
01:40Dreadful marking by Kolo Kolo, no one's following him.
01:45And you've got your home team centre forward all alone on the far post.
01:50Simple side of goal, simple finish.
01:58It's being played onside.
02:00Tallest outfield player for River, Pizella 187.
02:09Off balance and smothers, that little contest between.
02:16Interesting what you're saying about how the Kolo Kolo's domestic matches have been suspended.
02:22Because of Cortes, heavy first touch.
02:31And they can't get it clear, and the curling efforts in the end just tap down.
02:36The issue for the Chileans is we're not seeing the potential danger.
02:39Here you'd highlight Coligio as the player who looks dangerous.
02:43He looks like he's going to make something happen.
02:45We're not seeing that from Kolo Kolo.
02:47You've got Palacio who's a little bit deeper.
02:49Correa hasn't really been involved.
02:53And you just see there Armani just eking confidence.
02:57How about this by Franco Armani.
03:00And what is his 100th appearance in the Libertadores.
03:04He joins Enzo Perez, formerly of River Plate, as well as Estudiantes.
03:09100th appearance, 70th for River Plate.
03:13Giving him the club record for appearances.
03:20Again they move the ball around.
03:22Palacios struggles to keep hold of it.
03:34...swiftly in that passage of play.
03:36But then Palacios turned towards Cranavita instead of turning the other way.
03:41See how he's crowded out though.
03:44Four River Plate players surrounding him there.
03:52So that is it for the first half of the leg two game.
03:56With a 16 minute goal it is River Plate ahead 1-0.
04:00I think they would have wished to be ahead a little more.
04:03Kolo Kolo still with one goal to tie it off.
04:06Gonna go to a short break, gonna come back with that.
04:15Here we go then, River Plate in that traditional white shirt
04:19with a band of red across the front.
04:22Palacios' goal relatively early here
04:26helped ease any kind of nerves.
04:36Defending champions, Blumenense or Atletico Maneiro
04:40awaiting their winners at this time.
04:42Blue leading by one goal to nil from the first leg.
04:46Borja trying to drop back.
04:48Picked up in midfield.
04:50Colidio's trying to make some space and stay on side.
04:59The corner.
05:01River more watching and waiting.
05:06A robust challenge.
05:08And you know Vidal's gonna react.
05:10You know Nacho Fernandes will do as well.
05:13A referee will try to step in.
05:19Maybe this is what the tie needs.
05:23It's a little bit of jostling and the number of cards.
05:27It's just moments like that.
05:28He just was asking a bit too much there of Sapera.
05:32Invited Petsila to intercept.
05:36All over the top.
05:37Now there's a half chance there for Kolo Kolo.
05:42Corner.
05:43Off sides.
05:47That's sloppy.
05:49Had a chance to look down the line.
05:53Made no contact in the end.
05:58Vidal has dropped a little bit deeper
06:01to allow this man here or else.
06:05There's the opportunity on goal.
06:12Barreiro again working hard.
06:19That's his job at the moment.
06:20There's a route off.
06:26Well it's back to the wall stuff now for River Plate, isn't it?
06:28Because Kolo Kolo are...
06:30Off sides.
06:32Nacho Fernandes is there and Barreiro in the end
06:35loses out much to the annoyance of the River fans.
06:38But there's nowhere for Palacios to go
06:41Clever footwork.
06:42Referee again well sighted.
06:44And this time he's given a free kick.
06:51Mazzini maybe will step forward.
06:53Does so and sends it onto the roof of the net.
06:57Looking for a quick cut.
07:12In the book.
07:19Palacio gets there first.
07:21And that's had to be cut out.
07:24Now it's all...
07:27For this for the moment.
07:28Ball inside the air.
07:29It's easy for Amari.
07:30That's going to be it.
07:32And they know it.
07:35The intercept spot on.
07:37The ball out wide.
07:39And perfectly placed.
07:43And it just bubbles.
07:45Into Amari.
07:46Kolo Kolo looking a lot better after making...
07:49The final whistle here.
07:52In the Monumental.
07:55The look on Vidal's face says that River Plate
07:58are marching on to the semi-final.
08:00Kolo Kolo just could not deliver on the night.
08:05Oh tough game.
08:06A little bit of yargy bargy.
08:09They're in the end between both teams.
08:11The River team and subs of course trying...
08:14Oh there's a little smack there.
08:17Oh that's going to end badly.
08:20Of course they've been trying to get the players out.
08:22They've advanced.
08:23They have a lot to lose.
08:26They can't be involved in any practice.
08:30At the end of the game.
08:32So they're advancing 1-0 in the 9-2-1.
08:36On the aggregate and we'll await for tomorrow's result.
08:40Between actual current champion Fluminense.
08:44And Atletico Mineiro.
08:48That game tomorrow at 5.50pm ET here on BSports.
08:53Fluminense ahead 1-0 after winning at home.
08:58And going as a visitor.
08:59Trying to maintain the lead and get to a second semi-final in a row.
09:03In what would be a bare border between Fluminense and Atletico.
