00:00A bang on seven, away we go, Iñi Beniente, away from home and in the away strip of all white tonight,
00:16Guarani, regular kit, black and gold, Guarani then the leaders of the group, Iñi Beniente right behind them,
00:27can go top with three points tonight, very cautious start isn't it, walking pace at the back from the Argentines, might be a little bit cagey,
00:38Iñi Beniente very firmly on Guarani,
00:43Abreu twisting and turning, that's nicely done by Milan to get that ball out wide, early delivery and Avalos, Chilean with the Argentine haircut,
01:01here he is again, skips one challenge, Angolo is available yet again, trues it across the area, he's going to get a second chance here,
01:10and that's a bit better from the Colombia but it's,
01:12Cortez down the right hand channel, it's Farah in space, gets it now, three white shirts inside the area, the contact wasn't,
01:22what Tarsia wanted exactly,
01:25Fahena, doesn't even have to look up before he sends that ball inside the area,
01:31couple of half chances now for El Rojo have, he's up one metre 91,
01:38yet again Angolo is away missing his side, that's a clever ball across the area, chance here for the opener,
01:46well it's stabbed clear in the end, they're claiming a hand ball, for the moment it's a corner,
01:51got away but the ease of which Iñi Beniente just strode through the middle of the park,
02:01nothing conclusive, that's it from this angle,
02:05there's contact but was it an arm and the defending player was on the turf,
02:11they're adamant,
02:14Monaco, Valdez, Avalos, the three obvious targets,
02:20and it's headed straight at the keeper, it was Valdez, tons of space,
02:26he's barely had a kick, any kick he's got really is the studs into the knee,
02:33this is the Valdez efforts, closest we've had to the breakthrough,
02:38it was stretching a bit Rodríguez, but it's a good frame at 191,
02:44they get that ball back but it's again half-hearted from Guarani,
02:50we need a little bit of a rocket here, this is our first card of the night,
02:54it's at the sub, Benitez who's been brought down, it's not Angelo,
03:06Benitez being brought on to mark the Colombian,
03:12he ends up fouling him,
03:18a quick second card for Independiente,
03:2223, 24 minutes or so,
03:32yeah that's debatable,
03:36foot certainly came across,
03:38just there,
03:40does it merit the yellow card,
03:42every,
03:44let's see what the home side can do from the first set piece,
03:50that's a shooting opportunity,
03:52Smith's hit initially,
03:56finally cleared by Valdez,
04:00it's a lack of punch,
04:02so far but they are top of the, that's a bit sloppy,
04:04and that is punished,
04:06Vargas nips in,
04:08and against the run of play,
04:12Grodani find themselves in front,
04:16gifts it to Gustavo Vargas,
04:18who says,
04:20thank you very much,
04:22he's on side as well,
04:24perfect ball in,
04:26I mean you can see Vargas,
04:28was trying to pick out his keeper,
04:32Valdez rather,
04:34Vargas,
04:36Valdez rather,
04:38Vargas nips in,
04:40that really is,
04:42smash and grab,
04:44not quite as,
04:46free flowing as they were,
04:48the first 25,
04:50get caught out here,
04:52so far the flags stay down,
04:54Geogra Fernandes,
04:56chance here,
04:58for number two,
05:00it's a tapping,
05:02now is he on side Perez,
05:04did he drift offside,
05:06nice breakaway down the centre,
05:08oh there's the offside,
05:10on the first ball,
05:12we do have to wait,
05:14we do have to wait,
05:16the Argentines that's for sure,
05:18it's a nice little interchange,
05:20nice step over,
05:21chance for the equaliser,
05:22one handed stop,
05:23to deny Tarsia,
05:25we try to pull it back,
05:27and then,
05:28with a follow up,
05:29sends it into the stands,
05:31does very,
05:35very well here,
05:36it's a,
05:37decent stop,
05:38from Martín Rodríguez,
05:42Milán it was,
05:43who collapsed,
05:44to the ground,
05:50Rodríguez rather,
05:51couldn't really get the ball,
05:52into a safe position,
05:53again persistence,
05:55from the number 27,
06:01Benitez,
06:06the sub,
06:07we have a go,
06:08and he's left,
06:09well it doesn't take responsibility,
06:10there Benitez,
06:11well perhaps he should have gone,
06:12had an opportunity,
06:14to pull the trigger,
06:15and referee's going to drag out,
06:16the third card of the night,
06:18first for the hosts,
06:22there's a challenge,
06:24it's Benitez,
06:25who's going to get booked,
06:26and saw initially involved,
06:28a little bit of a wrestling match,
06:29and then Benitez,
06:30does he mean that,
06:32possibly then,
06:36our referee,
06:37has been called across,
06:39to the screen,
06:40now this is going to be interesting,
06:42that little lash out there,
06:47by Marconi,
06:50on Benitez,
06:53it was carded,
06:54are they saying that's deliberate,
06:55are they saying that's a potential red,
06:57a referee's made his mind up,
06:59this is big problems here,
07:01for anybody,
07:02I think this is a red,
07:03it is,
07:06and the Argentines,
07:07are shooting themselves,
07:08in the foot here,
07:15he lashed out at Benitez,
07:17Benitez has had an interesting time,
07:19since coming off the bench,
07:21Marconi got himself booked,
07:22and that yellow card,
07:24has been turned into a red,
07:26that's the home,
07:27fans who,
07:28are singing at the end of his first half,
07:29you have to say that,
07:30a red did not look like,
07:31it would finish this first 45 minutes,
07:32with quality and lead,
07:33but that is the case,
07:34quality and lead,
07:35but that is the case,
07:36quality and lead,
07:37in front,
07:38Vargas pouncing,
07:40and a mistake in the back,
07:41and it's all gone terribly wrong,
07:42for Independiente,
07:43who've now had a man sent off,
07:44where we go in the second half,
07:45where we go in the second half,
07:46where we go in the second half,
07:47where we go in the second half,
07:48the second half,
07:51that terribly wrong for
07:52Independiente, who have now
07:54had a man sent off.
08:02Where we go, in the second
08:03half.
08:09It's going exceptionally well
08:11for them, and they look like
08:12they could really be on the
08:13back foot tonight.
08:21One goal to nil.
08:31And yet for Benitez, which
08:33seemed to steady the ship
08:35very early on in that first
08:36period.
08:38But only look for a second.
08:41Cross to Fernandez, who pulls
08:42it across the face of the goal.
08:51Oh, dropped nicely for the
08:52captain, had a swing at it
08:53really on the left peg.
08:58Rated by Perez.
09:00The faves saw the white shirts.
09:13The run looks positive.
09:14There might be a finish here.
09:15There was one.
09:18Oh, yeah, forces his way
09:20through, Independiente not yet
09:22done.
09:22Little nutmeg to start him.
09:25And his persistence and good
09:27footwork took him through a
09:29sea of gold and black shirts.
09:34He's unlucky not to find the
09:36back of the net.
09:37Did everything right until the
09:40final shot.
09:42It's really keyed up for this
09:43one, number five.
09:44That's been booked already, but almost.
09:57Beniente again pressing.
10:00And it was Avalos.
10:02Beniente who are asking questions.
10:07They are not playing like a side, a man down.
10:14Oh, whipped in.
10:19Hermes.
10:21He's been impressive since coming.
10:25Tiro.
10:26Aimless ball in.
10:27Far too easy for Beniente.
10:29They really do lack any punch.
10:33They are ahead, Gualani.
10:34Now, Fernandes is onside.
10:36But if he's number two, takes his time.
10:38It's off the woodwork.
10:40And a flag comes up for offside.
10:44He's onside.
10:54Tiroki's time.
10:56Getting a chance on goal.
10:57And almost getting scored on.
11:00That's what happened in the first 45 minutes.
11:02That's an interesting challenge.
11:05Card stayed in the pocket.
11:07Now it's coming out.
11:08Well, he lunges in.
11:16Catches Tarsia.
11:18That is what Gualani have to avoid.
11:23And he...
11:26Still, they continue to knock this ball around.
11:30So that's a layoff from Avalos.
11:32And Gualani has options.
11:39Capel can't make contact.
11:42And that is so, so sloppy.
11:45From Gualani.
11:46Loyala has been up for this match.
11:48You have to say...
11:49The work rate does not enough from a home side.
11:57Don't pick up the movement.
11:59Is there...
12:00A potential offside here?
12:02Is there a touch?
12:03Does he get a touch, Cabral?
12:06And there's Loyala.
12:07Is he onside?
12:08I don't think he does.
12:09Is there a touch?
12:09I don't think he does.
12:14Now, moving forward again in greater numbers.
12:16Now, Brau's snap shot.
12:18Tipped away.
12:24What about effort?
12:26Had it first time.
12:29Once again, Independiente looking the most likely.
12:34Not at all suffering in any way, shape or form
12:37by being a man down.
12:39on the home side profit
12:48it's in the far post and did it cross the line I think it did they found
12:54themselves in front again
12:58is that a second for Vargas
13:07and play if it stands it's whipped in it's a very fortunate ricochet slice of
13:15luck on the first one and Gustavo Vargas pops up again at the right place in time
13:21it crosses the line there's no doubt about it
13:25he took his first goal well after a mistake at the back
13:32and it just bounces off him off the knee there is proof positive that it's a goal
13:38Vargas
13:41three cracks out the card on the bench couple of minutes that came in
13:58in trouble here lashes out at least a yellow could be worse if our referees in the wrong
14:11mode is going to be very generous here oh yeah got himself in trouble
14:16loses the ball it's this moment here when it comes across and that as well now if they look at that one
14:28our referee perhaps is prone prematurely and quality would take all three points against independiente
14:38and a game which they for the most part were second best
14:45perhaps fortunate for the goals as that sending off certainly helped
14:58Francisco Barca's side will stay top of the group
15:02well
15:09fine
15:11yeah
15:13yeah
15:15yeah
15:18yeah
15:20yeah
15:25yeah
15:26yeah
