00:00On the line
00:03Today's Elbel and Vodafogo
00:07Playing for that ticket
00:09Playing for that
00:15They bottled it at the end
00:18And which team
00:19Tonight though will put their place in the semi-finals
00:23And you're all from Engo, it's Sampdoria with three coloured shirts
00:27And it's not particularly pretty
00:29But
00:31They haven't conceded in the last five Libertadores ties
00:35Now, danger here for Sampaolo
00:38There it is and they do concede
00:41The keeper turning it into the pace of Almeida, the Argentine
00:46And we've got the goal
00:48Vodafogo wanted
00:50And from a neutral perspective
00:52That's absolutely bang on
00:54Sampaolo did it at the back
00:55Rafael couldn't find that safe area
00:59And the young Argentine has given Vodafogo the lead
01:03And it is now game on
01:05And it's becoming, not just today, John
01:07But over the course of the first leg
01:09Vodafogo, they're the side that have had all the chances
01:10They're the side that have been trying to apply the high press
01:13They win it back really high at the pitch here
01:15And it's very neatly done
01:16And just look at Tiago Almeida
01:18Because he's just alive to the possibility
01:20He knows that he's only going to get one sniff at this
01:22And when it comes back to him
01:23He just nods it goalwards
01:25I mean, I don't think there's too much that the goalkeeper really
01:28Could have done there, Rafael
01:29I mean, he's got to get a paw on it
01:31Because he knows his player's coming in behind him
01:33But Tiago Almeida's there
01:35And now, as you rightly say
01:37We do have a game on our hands
01:38Sampaolo, they can no longer sit back
01:41They have to come out and attack
01:43And maybe we'll see a little bit more freedom in this game
01:46You hear the sound of Tricolore
01:48The three colours of Sampaolo
01:50In the background
01:51But they're going to have to do some defending here
01:53And it's HITLO!
01:55And almost a second, Igor Jesus
01:58Just for a second, the Botafogo fans
02:00Nanette, it just ricocheted off the advertising hoardings
02:04And that was a golden opportunity
02:05And he had time, maybe a heavy touch
02:09It's the high press, again, John, I think
02:11And it's the high press that caught the Marbelleda
02:14And Botafogo are on their bikes here
02:17Almeida again
02:18He's going to race down in front of goal
02:20He's got trickery, he's got balance
02:21There's a nice little lay-off for Chino
02:24They look so dangerous
02:26They look so dangerous
02:28But they are ripping
02:30Into Sampaolo
02:31Again, clever play
02:33They just know
02:34Where the teammates are
02:37And we haven't seen that from Sampaolo
02:39No, spot on, John
02:40So, so apologies to Lucas Mola
02:45Confusion inside the area
02:48And then drilled in, that's great defending
02:53Luis Enrique, isn't it?
02:54Yeah
02:56Giving him no space to think
02:57Oh, scored across
02:59Oh, it's a penalty
03:00Everyone knows
03:01Yeah, a penalty
03:02I mean, what's going on now, you know, is unnecessary as well
03:05It's theatric
03:05I mean, Lucas Mola, is it the...
03:12I mean, there's an arm
03:14Surely, you can't give that
03:17It's going to be given
03:17Here's the moment
03:19Well, I mean, lifeline for Sampaolo, isn't it, John?
03:21Absolute lifeline
03:22It's not like they've created much yellow cards
03:24Now, Botafogo players need to keep their heads here
03:28Big, big moment in this tie
03:30Lucas Mola
03:31Misses it!
03:33It's off, it won't work!
03:36He skies the chance for Sampaolo
03:40That's gone out the window
03:41Well, Lucas Mola took his first penalty in 2013, John
03:45It's a penalty
03:45Lucas Mola took his first penalty in 2013, John
03:48It's latest in 2024 in July
03:50He's taken 13
03:51He scored 13 in his career
03:53Prior to the last minute
03:55Now, he's missed one
03:56The first penalty he has ever missed
03:58And what a big moment
03:59Because that's a gift
04:00Attitude that was very different in that game, wasn't it?
04:03It was, and also I don't think that's the case today
04:05I think that's a big moment
04:11So, this is it
04:13I have to whistle
04:14What a finish for this encounter
04:17For this 45 minutes
04:20Lucas Mola with that missing penalty
04:24Striking the bar
04:26And Sampaolo
04:28Ladies and gentlemen
04:30Thank you
04:32Could have said no, of course
04:33Ref decided not to
04:35But then
04:37Lucas Mola stepping up and skimming the crossbar
04:42Such a poor boy
04:44Make this happen
04:44I mean, when you watch the style of football
04:46That Sampaolo have
04:48It's harder to get behind, isn't it?
04:51Again, for me
04:53It's a card for John for time-wasting
04:58Sampaolo
04:59Winning back momentarily
05:01They really have to up the ante
05:03In the second period
05:03And that's what they're trying to do
05:08And Bob Igizia
05:09Gets himself a card
05:11For his reaction
05:13Fantastic
05:15I mean, first of all
05:17Sampaolo there
05:18There was a mistake
05:19He's turned to the goal
05:20It could have been punished again
05:22Yeah, we're at the point in the game as well, John
05:24Where second Botafogo goal
05:26Kills it completely, I think
05:28And they'll be aware of that
05:30John watched it go
05:33And picked up on the far side
05:34Drilled in!
05:35Straight at the keeper
05:36Oh, real appeals for a pen on that occasion
05:43Nice angle
05:45John
05:48Making sure he got behind the ball
05:49And that
05:50Say, on a yellow card
05:52The tall Argentine
05:54And now Botafogo have to regroup that back line
05:57Lucas Moura
05:58Keyed up
06:00Luciano skips away
06:01And that's a goal
06:02And that's a goal
06:03And that's a goal
06:04And that's a goal
06:05Luciano skips away from one
06:07Drills it in
06:07No!
06:08Somehow that ball stays out
06:12Well, it's a big chance, isn't it?
06:13I mean, it's a big, big chance
06:14Does he stay onside?
06:15First of all, let's have a look
06:17That would have been tight, wouldn't it?
06:18I think he's just about on
06:19You know, he's been feeding off absolute scraps out there tonight
06:25And when an opportunity presents itself
06:27Three yards out
06:28Right foot
06:29You've just got to pass it home
06:31And it kind of clips off the top of his ankle in the end
06:33You've got to get your instep on that
06:36Now there are options here
06:38Can they finish or they can't?
06:39It's a dreadful choice
06:43And you can hear the crowd's reaction
06:45Now Lucas Moura tries to pick his way through
06:47Drills it in
06:47One-hander stop
06:49Like a man possessed in the second half, John
06:51Incredible, the psychology of missing a penalty
06:54What it's done to Lucas Moura
06:55But talk about a strong palm from the goalkeeper, John
06:59I mean, it's such a great left paw, isn't it?
07:03Now that's what you're trained for, John
07:04I mean, our nature of the country and therefore the football
07:07Different competitions
07:09Different priorities
07:10But I mean, the wider context
07:11I mean, it couldn't really happen in Europe
07:13You don't get a Man City win in the Libertadores
07:15And then being in a relegation place next year
07:16Card is...
07:18But I would hazard a guess that it's an aging squad
07:23That's Nestor
07:25It was nowhere near the ball
07:27So aging squad
07:28And they were aging last year
07:31When they got the...
07:32I think you're required to watch next week
07:34So teasing ball in
07:36That's the moment
07:38That is the moment for Sampaolo
07:42The man who spurred the chance
07:46Right in front of goal
07:47This time makes up for it
07:50Caleri just hangs in the air
07:54And Sampaolo are back in business
07:58Two Baldias on the pitch, John
08:00That's how much it means
08:02And listen
08:03When you're the number 9
08:05When everyone's looking at you
08:06And you've already missed an absolute sitter in the game
08:10When that next chance comes
08:12When that next chance comes
08:13You've got to finish it
08:14I mean, the cross is magnificent
08:16Sublime, right on a plate
08:18But just look at the airtime here from Caleri
08:20Hangs, wants it more
08:22We praised the back two from Bonafogo all night
08:24Caught napping
08:25Really, really poor
08:27And it's exactly what he does
08:29Gets a good surface on it
08:30Clean head up
08:31And we're heading to a penalty shootout
08:34Superb delivery
08:35It's a finely taken goal
08:37Just when the momentum had gone out of Sampaolo
08:43Good Baldia thinks he's won the Libertadores, doesn't he?
08:46I mean, on the pitch, John
08:48I mean, as I did say
08:49Felt there was a moment in the game
08:52And Sampaolo
08:54Already look like this is going to a shootout
08:56And I mean
08:57You know, this is when defensive football
08:58John
09:00Just pays off, doesn't it?
09:02Wow, I mean, look at this inside the ground
09:06That
09:07Ah, the wind in their sails
09:09A goal, really
09:10Which never looked like coming
09:13For me
09:14The key moment
09:16Is this one sails over the top
09:18Well, it was taken off Barboza
09:19Yeah
09:20I really cannot understand
09:23Could have happened in training during the week
09:24Where you know the player's only got 70 minutes
09:26So there's a lot of extenuating circumstances there
09:28But I agree
09:29It looked like a strange one
09:31I think Bastos as well
09:33Looked far better alongside him
09:34Throughout the game
09:36You know
09:37He would have predicted Sampaolo getting that late goal
09:40He said it was likely
09:44First corner red cards
09:50So he's going to miss
09:52The semis if they get through
09:55John, it's just completely unnecessary
09:57Completely unnecessary and
09:58Wow, what's going on here?
10:00Well, if Sampaolo are to go through
10:02It looks like they've lost a couple of players
10:05And Fusion on the touchlines
10:07And it seemed
10:09Fairly innocuous
10:10Finding himself in the book
10:12Again, let's try to see what happens here
10:14Arm on the shoulder
10:17A little bit of a reaction
10:18Hafinha
10:19Steps in
10:21And the Sampaolo
10:22Best match ever
10:24Two-legged quarterfinal with you, John
10:26But
10:27A bit of a shooter
10:30All that noise
10:33West Ham
10:35Big, big moment
10:38And he will step forward
10:40And he strikes it
10:44Off the crossbar
10:47Well, those records keep tumbling in a negative way
10:54Well, that's the thing, John
10:56You know, history can only tell you so much
10:59And that's Lucas Moura who struck the woodwork
11:02And then this man here
11:04And it's a big, big moment
11:08Such a step
11:09There is it
11:11He keeps his cool
11:12He can end the Botafogo fans in the background
11:18Farmo
11:19Farmo
11:22Again, what do you expect of Jedrzej
11:24To have been one of the penalty takers?
11:25Possibly not
11:29Good forward, just lost five before that pen
11:33Get away really nicely
11:35Again, experience
11:38He
11:39Steps forward and smashes it
11:41Into the back of the net
11:44Former Brazil man
11:46Doing the job
11:49And again, it's Caleri
11:51Luiz Gustavo having a word with Rafael
11:55Well, he guessed right, John, didn't he?
12:01Where's Lucas Moura?
12:02Your prediction was for him to go first
12:05Yep, might be saving him for number five
12:11Well, again, Rafael Beaton's in the same spot
12:15Well done, Elo Barbosa
12:16It's not been on the pitch that long
12:18Again, it's interesting, isn't it?
12:20From Botafogo
12:21The players they brought on
12:22But Barbosa
12:23Tons of experience
12:25In Europe
12:28Benfica, Nice
12:33Very interesting penalty takers
12:36And they both said
12:38They will wish that the ground
12:40Will swallow him up
12:42And it just squeezes that one in
12:46I wonder what the Sampano fans are thinking
12:48I mean, Keeper gets gloves on it, you know
12:50Gets a glove on it
12:52Lucas Moura
12:54I mean, you said it, John
12:54It'd be the most relieved man inside this ground
12:58Very nearly
13:00Bathed
13:02Starts to run up again
13:03It's not too much zip on it, you know
13:05Keeper might feel as though he should have kept it out
13:07But it's not
13:08It's not too much zip on it
13:09It's not too much zip on it
13:10Keeper might feel as though he should have kept it out
13:12A couple of times now
13:13That sets yourself on the line
13:18And well
13:19Down the centre
13:21And it's the subs
13:22Making all the running, Marcel
13:26Again, they're going for experience, Botafogo
13:30Obviously done their prep, John, haven't they?
13:33You know, they've done the training ground routines
13:36Three penalty takers
13:37All three subs
13:38For Botafogo
13:40I mean, that's the reason they came on
13:42At least in part
13:43Big pen, this one
13:45Well, it's Igor Vinicius
13:48Here's a sub
13:49A right back
13:51Curls it in
13:58Now
14:00Huge
14:04And one
14:05Igor Vinicius is followed by
14:07Ovenisius
14:10Ovenisius
14:12John again
14:14Guessing the right way
14:16Now, Ovenisius
14:19Deep breath
14:21And absolutely balloons it
14:27Almost out of the Moranby
14:32Well, well, well
14:34Just when the technique
14:36And the temperament fails you
14:38At the decisive moment
14:41Oh, it's a horrible penalty
14:44Leans back
14:45It's all wrong
14:46It's a wild spot kick, John
14:49Two goals, one on top of the other
14:51And that's still
14:53God and death because of the situation
14:55Three from four by Taken
14:57It's adrenaline, isn't it?
15:01That was all adrenaline
15:02Now, Luciano
15:05This is huge
15:07And he's got the experience
15:10It goes down the center
15:12Luciano, again
15:14A keeper guesses right
15:17And he just wondered, John guessing right
15:19And not being able to keep that ball out
15:21On three occasions now
15:26Yeah, I mean
15:27You can never criticize a goalkeeper, really
15:33He steps forwards
15:37And it's taken with aplomb
15:38There's just no nerves
15:41And the young Argentine
15:43Now talked about tension
15:45Now we get interesting
15:47Because the five have come and gone
15:50Gutsy pen
15:51I mean, it's a gutsy pen
15:52Goes high
15:53I mean, that's a top corner pen
15:54That's a top, top pen
15:56Best pen we've seen so far of the shootout
15:58From the Argentine
16:01Yeah, huge amounts of confidence there
16:07No defensive midfielder
16:10Tampaolo product
16:12And it's saved
16:14Well, we've been saying he's been guessing right all night
16:18Couldn't keep it out
16:19But that one was fairly tame
16:21And now Botafogo have a chance
16:25Oh, well, he's not known for his penalty taking
16:27Only taken one before and scored it
16:30And it's a poor pen
16:31And this time
16:32The keeper does manage to get down to it
16:34And now Botafogo
16:36A one-spot kick away
16:38From a place in the semi-finals of the 2024 Copa Bolivar-Sodoros
16:42And I wonder
16:42I wonder now if they think about
16:44Well, let's change the order
16:45But at this stage
16:46He needs to
16:48Take his time
16:51Drill it there through
16:53And he does so
16:56Mateus Marchese it is
16:58Who sends Botafogo through
17:01Another sob
17:03They march on
17:05Again a young player
17:07Again a cool finish
17:10Tampaolo
17:11Crash out
17:14And Botafogo is through to the Copa Bolivar-Sodoros semi-finals
17:20After a dramatic penalty shootout
17:23Win over Sao Paulo
17:27Botafogo
17:29They held their nerve in the shootout
17:32With their goalkeeper coming up
17:34Big Jamaica decisive save
