00:00Botafogo already in the group stage
00:03and remember this is a Brazilian era since we switched to a one game final format
00:08six seasons ago there's been six straight Brazilian champs
00:27trying to get some space
00:30good recovery by the Monacas defense but a good through pass
00:34on the right the one on one the shot from the outside the rebound
00:40could have done a lot more with the rebound
00:42Olivares can't keep the ball at first on the second
00:46and what could have been the first goal of the evening
00:51on the right with Rodriguez
00:54a little bit of space Romero
00:57touches it above the defender
01:00the first opportunity with Iniguez and Alvarez
01:03now the breakaway for Monacas there's space on the right there's space on the left
01:07there's a foul
01:09given the advantage on the right the shot above
01:13the crossbar
01:16a lot of football between now and even the group phase of the Libertadores
01:20and some real banana skins potentially for some of those big clubs
01:25doing well down that right hand
01:26we're getting some great ball in he's looking for Altes
01:29comes to the edge of the box that's a brilliant save by Raul Olivares
01:33as we take a look back at it now because I really don't think it could have been hit any better
01:40opportunity of reaching the group phase which as we mentioned
01:43the importance that it would have for the club's finances
01:46but also of course as well just the club's prestige
01:52and often also given the business model for so many clubs
01:55to put some of their younger players talented players in the shop window
01:59and potentially sell them off
02:01yeah that too obviously playing a key role in the finances of South American football
02:08Romero and Nicolas Henry
02:12for this corner it is Romero
02:14it's Rodriguez
02:15Rodriguez
02:22attacks still on it's Rodriguez gets on the end of it
02:24it's a good save by Kevin Dawson
02:28they have a couple of chances to clear it and even when they do it's a really poor one
02:33and in the end it's a fantastic header from Thomas Rodriguez because he's running away
02:38Rodriguez close to watch on that occasion
02:40loses the ball
02:42in turn defence will do the same
02:43perhaps there's an opening here
02:45real opportunity here for Gajardo
02:47that save
02:49De Los Santos gets across just in time to
02:54to rush Gajardo and force him to take that shot
02:57on his left foot
02:58where he never really convinces
03:02Henry's continued his run into the middle it's in by Iniguez
03:11speculative
03:13that is
03:15the end then of this
03:17first half of football
03:18in Venezuela
03:19the Comibol Libertadores is up and running
03:25hasn't been the most spectacular
03:26half of football
03:32you'd imagine Navarro's not going to want to
03:34push that luck too much I think he would see positives from a 0-0 scoreline
03:38and think
03:40we should have enough to win in Montevideo and progress
03:43number 18 of Monagas
03:46Ferreira wants a yellow card to be shown
03:49Prieto
03:51certainly got confidence about it
03:55then maybe expected they brought it down on his chest he went for the spectacular
03:59to go and hit it on the volley but
04:01maybe would have been better served just
04:05allowing as two of the all-time greats the level
04:08produced for season after season after season
04:10but we are talking about a guy the leading goal scorer for Brazil
04:14again
04:15no mean feat
04:16as there's a
04:17good save there by
04:19Dawson just as we're
04:20discussing the
04:21undisputed great players of South American
04:23football is a
04:25danger for
04:27Monagas
04:29it was
04:31the leading man for Palmeiras side
04:33going deep in this competition
04:34and what might that mean
04:36midway through the year
04:38when Chelsea perhaps
04:40a one
04:41not a good first
04:43pass from
04:44the other substitute Piscai Zaku
04:47and here's an opening for
04:48Basanti
04:49goodness me he's drawn it wide
04:51what an opportunity that was
04:52not impressed with Caravaggio for
04:54for losing
04:55that ball there that 50-50
05:01Palmeiras
05:04I like this for a charging run and that will
05:06certainly be a yellow card
05:09for Oscar Pires
05:13it's trademark runner that's a better delivery from Soria
05:16it's a pretty header as well
05:19but it's wide
05:25does excellent to keep the attack going
05:28still with Monagas
05:30it's a weak shot
05:32on goal
05:36and clarity on
05:37the difference
05:39for both sides and the
05:41what they have available to them in terms of
05:42looking to make something happen
05:44here comes RodrÃguez
05:45the kind of position he wanted to be in
05:46it's still RodrÃguez
05:47still RodrÃguez
05:48and he gets
05:49his just reward after
05:51a fabulous performance
05:53from the Monagas captain
05:54and he puts his side in the lead
06:00we've said before
06:01how much he wanted to be on the
06:03the receiving end for it
06:05and rightly so
06:07he's been waiting
06:08and waiting for this chance to come his way
06:11and I actually thought he'd made the wrong choice
06:13in his
06:14efforts to come back inside onto his right foot
06:17and I thought the chance had gone
06:19but it just
06:20gets a bit of good fortune
06:21with the bubble off the defender
06:23to keep it
06:24within possession
06:25on that right foot
06:26and then he finds that low finish
06:29fortune that he perhaps
06:30has earned
06:31through his good performance
06:32up until now
06:34that tells the story
06:36and even that
06:37when you look at what
06:38say 12 shots
06:39I think still
06:40from half time
06:41only three on target
06:42which was what was after 45
06:43opportunity for the second here
06:46the opportunity is still on
06:48he's put it wide
06:49Manrique
06:50it's over the wall
06:51that
06:52is one of the best goals you'll see
06:55in the Libertadores this year
06:56it's absolutely perfect
06:58perfect from Manrique
07:01stunning goal
07:02for Monagas
07:04who take a two goal advantage
07:06and it is absolutely deserved
07:10Roger
07:11he's got a
07:12he's got a
07:13he's got a
07:14he's got a
07:15he's got a
07:16he's got a
07:17he's got a
07:18Roger
07:19Manrique
07:20nothing that Dawson
07:21can do about it
07:28spectacular
07:29what a hit that is
07:30look at that from behind
07:32the goal
07:33the dip
07:34the swerve
07:35unstoppable for the
07:37and it brings us to the end
07:38of this match
07:40that
07:41has seen Venezuelan
07:42outfit
07:43Monagas
07:45the two nil
07:46winners
08:17.
