00:00Brazilians in their familiar black and white kits at Gallo the fighting rooster against Los
00:18Machinarios the millionaires of Buenos Aires. We get our first free kick as was Valenzuela
00:2640 year old from Venezuela meeting our match officials tonight pitch has been a problem
00:32Peter then closed look for River then defensively it's not a down and have it in the leg Davidson
00:43turns away the flag has stayed down so far and his reaction will tell you it's come up
00:49Peter this is going to be very very close indeed in front of Armani
00:56well certainly uh from that angle seems to be spot on from the official on the far side despite
01:03the wagging finger of Davidson as I said the offside's clear but we'd like to see it again the
01:10potential handball things that so much harder and also Peter open to all sorts of interpretation
01:17nice little nod forward potentially determined to take the lead and they get a chance here
01:22Alino overruns it in the end and that looks rather forlornly at the officials but famous
01:30moment caught on camera when he was in the middle of the pitch and the ref touched him let's see
01:34what River can do here it's played over the top they had a half ball her sale as well on target
01:40on that occasion nothing it's a bit of space quick throw in yeah electrical just switching
01:46off a little bit there been thoroughly on top in the opening 13 minutes but allow a very easy
01:52route for goal very quickly taken Colidio in space able to find the cross
02:02oh Davidson in on goal here as a keeper well it stands
02:10joy around the stadium they might look at it was a little bit of a shove from Hulk
02:18that is the only question mark
02:22and Davidson takes this absolutely brilliantly the only question is that collision between Hulk
02:30and I think Gonzalez-Perez or Petzela because Hulk seems to have eyes on the defender as the ball is
02:36coming over the top rather than the ball he's looking straight at Petzela to make sure he has
02:41the contact and that opens up the space in behind for Davidson to run onto it be very interesting to
02:47see what VAR make of that certainly a collision it was wonderfully taken by Davidson but
02:56a contact from Hulk I think in Brazil I think they'd rule it out immediately yeah I mean it's
03:03a fantastic finish that's exactly why Melitov brought Davidson back into the starting 11
03:10but for me the troubling thing for River this is going to be a card for Colidio the high foot
03:23it's the yellow and nowhere near the ball referee looking for a Colidio
03:32the high pressure hosted down this right-hand channel it's an
03:35easing ball inside the area Borja did well to win it
03:42it's a good ball in the end from I think Simon
03:45just hangs it up at the back post it doesn't have a great deal of pace on the ball
03:50Borja in the end central there for an all-Brazilian clash once more
03:57it's two Brazilian-Argentine affairs in the semifinals there so Brazil well represented
04:04once more
04:10with this challenge
04:13saying he left with the elbow
04:20well he's on his knees now
04:25five times the same
04:26now he's the peacemaker it's worth the entrance fee alone Peter isn't it Davidson
04:38got to get a yellow card at some point there's no doubt about it
04:56very early stoppage
05:00that's coming in the traditional black and white
05:10and then his cruise here with the foxes
05:14oh it's been scrappy referee has already reached for his pocket
05:18it that 5050 ball patching Fausto Vera
05:28Jesus Valenzuela couldn't really have had a better view of it was me more with Scarpa
05:32Paulinho could be a real problem for Enzo Diaz and Fabrizio Augustos which is where uh
05:38Scarpa can be so deadly from set pieces onto the head of Davidson
05:42yeah going
05:48far off target yeah difficult one he's he ends up heading it from I think outside the penalty area
05:56it sends uh
06:07trying to find a way through
06:09just going in on the far side
06:17as well and supporters uh like that
06:24it's that delay the goals there's no vital goals for River but a bit shaky tonight
06:31faces a heavy first touch he hates a little bit of a gap for himself though
06:36more involved in the second period go in this second period a bit more measured looking for
06:40the possession using the whip a bit more than they did in the first and that's why Scarpa is now
06:45seeing more of the ball doesn't necessarily cap maybe needs to think about changes
06:53losing the nice run off the ball from Davidson angle shot there's number two from nothing
07:02what a cult hero Davidson is
07:12and he can only watch they celebrate their second goal of the night
07:17really is a killer blow the tide looked as though it was just turning River having their
07:21best moment in their game they're preparing their final two changes that could have been
07:26attacking changes to try and rescue something and now they are really up against it Davidson
07:31shows his quality again the finish for the first in the first half was superb delicate skillful
07:38and this one is just all about the precision of the finish great ball in behind for Morana to spot
07:44the run of Davidson the angle against him watched it onto that left foot has done it first time
07:51and it's absolutely pinpoint
07:53and cannot question the finish River do crash out Davidson has the ball he's on site there's the layoff
08:01they look for another three they get it they make it look so simple Paulinho strikes it home
08:09Davidson with a layoff said it's 2-0 it could be bad for River and it's getting worse because this
08:17for River and it's getting worse because this is a very
08:21simple goal to concede the throw launched forward Davidson involved again
08:26slice of fortune with a big deflection of Paulo Dias that wrong foot Sarmadi but it will go down
08:32as Paulinho's goal his seventh of this year's Libertadores the most of any player since the
08:40group phase at least and it really puts Atletico Mineiro well and truly in the driving seat now
08:49second leg to come next week in Buenos Aires let's play the game Franco continues to roll around
08:57he's claiming an elbow from Nessa he may eventually be getting booked here
09:02from this angle he made a few mistakes comes across
09:12in the arm catches Franco but it's not a swing of an elbow as such I think messes just
09:32well the Paraguayan and the final whistle goes but only for frustration really from
09:39River Plate is still the whole second leg to come yeah I think so
09:45Leandro Gonzalez Pineda is getting involved there with some of the substitutes
09:50we've talked about the officials they're not alone out there the VAR
09:53crew Pete is still the big big talking point it was the Davidson goal wasn't it
10:00the supporters waiting for the final whistle which might come now with the
10:06throw on the far side there'll be nobody running to get the ball in the black and white shirt
10:17five minutes have come and gone what a night for Atletico Mineiro beating River Plate by three
10:24goals to nail in Belo Horizonte
10:28Ben's gonna return for Atletico Mineiro there's absolutely no doubt to that
