00:00 [Crowd noise]
00:05 Well that brief moment of reflection has come and gone very quickly.
00:09 Flamengo then.
00:10 [Crowd noise]
00:13 Flamengo are getting bodies forward.
00:15 Everson, Sebeliya, deflected.
00:19 Gots, for Montero.
00:21 Flamengo like to play in the opposition's half.
00:23 They really do push quite far up the pitch.
00:26 And that against a weaker side often does leave the forwards for the weaker side a bit isolated.
00:32 But they're playing with three forwards today.
00:35 That's awkward. Here we go.
00:37 It's a gift.
00:39 After what was a very, very good start for the Colombians, they just mess up in the end.
00:45 And Pedro says, "Thank you very much. An absolute gift."
00:49 It just evaporated.
00:51 [Crowd noise]
00:53 Pedro again, not known for his pace, but it's just deceived keepers and defenders.
00:59 And he could not have asked for anything easier.
01:03 Yeah, that's a really silly bit of defending.
01:06 Geraldo's pass back is not particularly under-hit.
01:09 The goalkeeper takes far too long to come out and get that.
01:13 Everyone just standing there open-mouthed.
01:17 Pedro's not the quickest of players.
01:19 He doesn't have to be particularly quick to get that ball.
01:22 But you can get at Flamengo.
01:25 That is the issue.
01:27 Creaky back line.
01:29 Even though Leo Ortiz is the big money signing from Red Bull.
01:33 Chance for a shot on goal.
01:35 Curls up the keeper. He does well there.
01:38 Slow things down.
01:39 They know that this one's in the bag perhaps, unless there's any major upset.
01:44 [Crowd noise]
01:46 Up charged down by Oton Lucas.
01:48 And this one sails over.
01:50 [Crowd noise]
01:53 Real Madrid.
01:54 And it is interesting as well how much Palmeiras have relied on the teenager.
01:58 This one easily plucked out of the air.
02:00 So losing him.
02:03 It's developed top flight football that is.
02:05 Second division, third division they rolled on as normal.
02:08 And it wasn't something which all the clubs agreed to as David Luiz.
02:14 I've just seen David Luiz again running at you.
02:16 You know you're in trouble.
02:17 Gerson curls it forward. Another unfortunate goal.
02:23 Has to go down as an own goal.
02:25 Clearly came off a defender.
02:29 And this is easy peasy, isn't it, for Flamengo.
02:33 Is that the Costa Rican Vargas who got the vital touch?
02:38 David Luiz moving forward.
02:40 Gerson, barely knock his ball in.
02:43 And just goes into the back of the net.
02:45 So everything which could possibly go right for Flamengo.
02:51 And everything which could go wrong for Misionarios.
02:57 Was that Geraldo? No it wasn't.
03:00 It was the Costa Rican Vargas.
03:05 And he just could be taken.
03:08 He was taken by Gerson.
03:09 He was at left foot.
03:12 Nice delivery. Hoping to get a touch maybe from a yellow-shirted player.
03:15 Nobuo Uesu.
03:23 Good ball out wide.
03:26 Opportunity here to make an impression but it's hit off target.
03:31 Intended to do.
03:33 I think if he can settle into this kind of central midfield controlling role.
03:39 It would really bring great stuff for this Flamengo side.
03:44 We might see him at some point in the second half.
03:46 Seizing here from the Colombians.
03:51 Rodriguez twisting and turning.
03:54 Yellow-shirts arriving in his support.
03:57 They like to keep it tight when they lose the ball.
04:00 Tonight they're all over the Colombians.
04:03 This one.
04:06 Getting a bit of abuse.
04:11 So I think one of the big problems is when a team, when a club
04:15 gets used to winning trophies.
04:18 Certainly patience gets short.
04:20 Vino again. Great ball.
04:22 It is!
04:24 So simple.
04:25 Pedro gets his second.
04:27 It's a submission of an offside.
04:33 Because we haven't seen the trademark celebration from the number nine.
04:36 But Vino, he's up for it.
04:38 That's certain since coming off the bench.
04:44 It's a touch and go, isn't it?
04:45 I'd say on.
04:49 But it might be one of those moves of fine margins.
04:55 He knows that as soon as he sees Pedro make that move, drop the shoulder.
05:02 And it is. Goal confirmed.
05:08 On 16 and then Everton-Tibiro 11.
05:11 So of the top five scorers, four of them are on show tonight.
05:16 Which says a lot about the recent history.
05:19 So for the estimated 35 million, which Flamengo claim.
05:24 Many fans that is, say that they are the biggest club in the world.
05:35 This is De La Cruz.
05:37 That's Galleta.
05:38 Oh, Kovacic forwards and did Montiel decide to leave it?
05:44 Sevillinha.
05:46 As well in the end.
05:48 De La Cruz ball down the centre.
05:54 Nodded down by Gasquet.
05:55 Now Gerson, again on the left foot.
05:57 Puts it wide.
05:59 Not quite sure what that reference about China is.
06:06 Let's see what they can do.
06:08 Well, it dips, but nowhere near enough.
06:13 Our referee to step in.
06:18 And it was right to ignore it.
06:21 And now Rossi's a long way out.
06:27 Again a bit too easy for Flamengo.
06:28 They've not really been there at 100%.
06:30 This is Sevillinha.
06:32 And that one would have been a cracker.
06:35 Hits his way through.
06:38 Hit to the touchline.
06:40 De La Cruz way to the keeper.
06:43 Again misjudged the flight.
06:45 Lapping at the ball in the end.
06:48 As we were saying earlier, the only thing that's holding him back
06:51 from being potentially an elite centre forward is just that burst of pace.
06:56 This is not a bad effort.
06:57 And Rossi called into action for the first time as Silva,
07:01 this time gets his shot on target.
07:04 And that's a terrific stop from Monteiro on that occasion
07:15 to deny the hat-trick from the number.
07:18 Lost in that far sight.
07:21 Three goals in the first half.
07:26 Taken down well enough.
07:27 The angle was tight.
07:28 Arrujo blazing over.
07:31 De Silva.
07:34 Haven't seen his marauding runs in the second period.
07:38 None was hit low at Rossi.
07:41 We're seeing Lohan coming through.
07:43 We're seeing Luiz Arrujo getting game time.
07:45 Maybe Bruno Henrique is starting to think that himself.
07:48 He might have to seek passers-new.
07:50 Although with Flamengo's history of ageing players,
07:55 which again could have resulted in a red card.
07:58 He's going to cross.
08:01 We know this spells trouble.
08:03 He's off, isn't he?
08:05 It looks that way.
08:07 I think this is probably one of the live action,
08:10 the momentum that's coming through.
08:12 He catches the ankle there.
08:14 I think he's going to go for that.
08:16 It's dangerous play, isn't it?
08:18 Nowhere near the ball.
08:19 He's off.
08:20 He can't stay on for that.
08:23 Unless you're saying...
08:32 Can't have any complaints.
08:41 Well, then he...
08:43 Take a look and even you will say, "It was a red."
08:51 Must have been a ventful tonight.
09:03 Can the side from Bogota forge a consolation goal?
09:08 A captain, a referee wants the ball, or does he?
09:13 I think the Flamengo fans know it.
09:15 Players know it.
09:18 Goals in the first half here.
09:20 An easy run out.
09:21 It's decided, really.
