00:00Trips to Bolivia and Paraguay as the two teams enter onto the pitch here at the Estadio Centenario, accompanied by the Sudamericana Anthem.
00:14In opposite directions in the form table, a crucial match this evening in Montevideo.
00:20The whistle blows and away we go.
00:22Group A play. It's match day four in the group stage of Comebol Sudamericana, and Group A is so tightly packed as we cross the midway.
00:33Not through the block of the shirts in white and dark blue as it's back again with Boston River scrambling.
00:42It's popped for Agustin Anello!
00:44Lethal finish from the Boston River, number nine.
00:561-0.
00:59Independiente never cleared their lines, and he just cut it into the far corner.
01:05Agustin Anello, a wonderful strike from the American.
01:10Anello, a good kick in.
01:19Scored once, and Libertador is qualifying earlier.
01:22In the Apertura in Argentina, in the fourth best of the 30 teams in the top flight.
01:29Well, that's loose along the back line.
01:32Mistake from the goalkeeper.
01:34Independiente are level.
01:35Mistake from the goalkeeper.
01:45Throughout the Estadio Centenario, a calamitous error from Bruno Antunes.
01:55Picked up by Cabral, and then a toe-poke finish from Matias Jimenez.
02:02Threw the last man on the line.
02:04Confidence from the center half.
02:11Valdez around the defender.
02:12Cross into the area.
02:16Millon at the back stick.
02:19And from a goal nil down, Independiente have turned it rounds.
02:25Oh, hole two.
02:34Teasing cross.
02:36Round the back line.
02:37Into that corridor of uncertainty.
02:40Wonderful ball in from Diego Tarsia.
02:43Could Bortogarai have gotten it clear?
02:46It bounced beyond him.
02:48And at the back post, it was Lautaro Millon.
02:52And that should bring the first half to a close.
02:55Indeed, the whistle blows.
02:57We'll move to halftime here in Montevideo.
03:01As Independiente are in front.
03:04Boston River led in the seventh minute through Augustin Anello.
03:07But goals for Matias Jimenez off a mistake for the Boston River goal.
03:12To one.
03:20Boston River kicked things off, having made a halftime substitution.
03:24And trailing their visitors from Matias Jimenez and Independiente by two goals to one.
03:30Second half underway.
03:33Two games to go after tonight in the group.
03:37In this tightly contested Group A picture.
03:40As Barsia, the Independiente, Loni is the man subbed out.
03:44Back heel flick.
03:46Brilliant goal.
03:47Oh, that is magnificent.
03:49Since Tarsia scores the goal, but stops his celebration to applaud.
03:58And Independiente 3-1.
04:02Take a bow.
04:04Matias Jimenez.
04:07A glorious back heel.
04:10Straight into the path of Diego Tarsia.
04:13Well, that will be up for goal of the week in Sudamericana.
04:19Thanks to that sumptuous assist from Matias Jimenez.
04:25Since.
04:30Last saw victory.
04:32Now it's in along the back line.
04:34Tarsia.
04:35Was he brought down?
04:39His effort goes wide.
04:41A wonderful cross.
04:44Well, it did take a wicket deflection to get into the path of Tarsia.
04:50Bounced the ball going the way of Independiente.
04:54Lengthy review here.
04:57And indeed, Ospina called to the monitor.
05:02A groan emanates throughout the Estadio Centenario from the ball.
05:05For Independiente to make it a three-goal advantage.
05:19The referee now walking away from the monitor.
05:23John Ospina will give the final decision.
05:26Penalty for Independiente.
05:31Yellow card to Juan Acosta.
05:34He has delivered.
05:36Can Jimenez extend the lead for Independiente?
05:39Just past an hour gone.
05:41The whistle blows.
05:42Cautious run-up.
05:44Stutter.
05:44Step.
05:45Goal.
05:47Confident penalty for Matias Jimenez.
05:50A brace.
05:55Goalkeeper not fooled by the stutter step.
05:59But is fooled by the direction of the pen.
06:01He sends Antunes the wrong way.
06:04Does Matias Jimenez.
06:08The Knights.
06:09He will long remember the 26-year-old.
06:13Took a long, long time for him to get up into the top flight in Argentina.
06:19Independiente.
06:20As the home side prepare a triple change.
06:24Tarsia bearing down on goal.
06:27Sliding it across.
06:28Jimenez with the header guiding towards the far post.
06:32Palmed away by Antunes.
06:34Space on the break now for the red and green shirts.
06:38Played into space.
06:39Chase is on for Vieta.
06:42It's just wide.
06:44Into the final 20 minutes.
06:45Vieta curling it up to the edge of the 18.
06:48Header on to it by Rodriguez.
06:50Long way out.
06:52Shot fake.
06:52Beyond the defender.
06:53Second defender got a touch.
06:55Played in behind.
06:56Chance here.
06:56Chance over the bar.
06:59Sky by one Manuel Gutierrez.
07:01As a member of Marcelo Bielsa's staff.
07:05His side.
07:07Getting a fifth.
07:10To cap off a marvelous night in Montemiteo.
07:15Rolled in behind the back line.
07:17And Santiago Hidalgo makes it a five-star Red Devil performance at the Estadio Centenario.
07:28Boston River one.
07:31A cushioned touch from Hidalgo makes it Independiente five.
07:35A five-star performance in Montemiteo.
07:52They trailed in the seventh minute, did the Red Devils.
07:55But from there, it was all Abby Sinead.
