00:00Are on the pitch, the number one loves you, look at a full cylinder, look at two tifos, they're asking Shield, let's listen in to the crowd
00:23Fieto is almost in, couldn't quite make contact with the ball and gets a free kick in his favour
00:30Against the Argentine, Alex Barbosa
00:36Tallest player on the pitch at 1.93m, in fact John is 3cm taller than the Botafogo keeper
00:51Under pressure from Fieto
00:53And Colombo to float this one forward, Salas again busy as ever on the outside of the right, left foot, sends it over
01:12Did well to hold off the defenders and then went for a spectacular finish
01:23And that's going to try to play that long pass, they've got two
01:30It's really fell over Vicino
01:42At the end, Martinez now on his way, he's got Salas, now Salas in on goal, great start from John
01:50He's got a great curl on it, and it's just headed wide
01:55At 1.81m, he knows where that ball is going, may in fact, well he beat the defender
02:04Didn't get his body over the ball
02:09Well, the arm appeared to be out wide there, it looks like they're going to have to
02:20Just a punt from Martinez
02:26Referee had a fairly clear view, but you see it from this angle
02:31Alex Barbosa
02:34You look at it from some angles, like there
02:50Well, there you have it, he gave the X for next
02:59Against the hulking figure of John, and the Botafogo goal
03:04Dietto, slams it into the back of the net, and Racing are in front against Botafogo
03:12And the stadium absolute
03:15Blaze this ball down, John guessing right
03:22Not that far away from getting a fingertip to it
03:38Dietto turns away
03:44Very long punt inside the area, Cezzari away initially
03:50Mafferi again steps in
04:00Cipollini, initially
04:04Maybe it's the number
04:06And then there
04:09It is Alex Teller, straight into the wall, second bite of a cherry, it's deflected, but
04:20Well, it said three minutes on the clock, our referee stops it just prematurely, but at half time
04:35Botafogo though, going nowhere, Vicino unable to do anything with this, it's Salas, a long way out, drives it off target
04:46Trying to bustle his way through yet again, does well here, looking for Agria-Martinez, it's a loose ball on the edge of the area, and welled in
04:57Far too loose, in the centre of the park
05:05Salas does well, it was Colombo who made the interception
05:10And it's Cipollini
05:12Botafogo just starting to knock on the door, but they're going to have to get bodies back here, Salas, Agria-Martinez, shooting opportunity
05:22Floats it over John, the sucker punch from Rassing, but it knocked by Botafogo
05:30But knocking on the door, Agria-Martinez makes it 2-0
05:47The hitman does it again
05:59Salas and Martinez, a deadly duo
06:05Vicino's ball in, Cesare's header away, Botafogo just caught out
06:13Now the two combine, it's a delicious ball in from Salas
06:18And a sub line finish from Martinez
06:21Looked like, just let it run, manages to pounce, but what a great pass in, what a wonderful partnership up front
06:37Now John again, just tries to spread himself
06:43And then turns to his defenders
06:46And now Lyon, it's the last person Botafogo wants to see in possession
06:53Opportunity for the third, it's blazed over
07:01Position
07:07Got away from his marker, Alex Barbosa again
07:13Alex Barbosa again, and his effort sails over Rassing
07:23Salas is lurking, pointed in and hits it in, John stops it
07:32Salas again, despite that lack of height, his presence, it's a wonderful stop from John
07:37And then Salas lifts it over
07:47Hoist towards the goal and it drops, maybe a bit quicker than John expected, again it's Martinez
07:59Stout jump that he's able of running, if he can bring it under control
08:03But he can do it, it's a tight angle, John goes down sharply
08:09This is the Martinez chance just moments ago
08:14Tight angle, John down sharply
08:19Danilo Barbosa
08:22Like Balthasar Rodriguez is on his requiring treatment
08:31And does Rassing really want to run down the clock?
08:34That was a boot towards the face, unintentional by Acquiobano
08:41You might see it there
08:43Rodriguez on his seat in fact
08:51You can see why, but
08:55Hussit forward and our referee blows the whistle for the final time tonight
09:01And that's the end of the first leg of the season
09:04We'll see you next time
09:13And it's joy for the side in the pale blue and white of Fogo
