00:00And so, in Lima, Peru, it is Sporting Cristal against Bolivar, eternal glory, the ultimate aim, as ever, in the comb of all libertad, or a Sporting Cristal need.
00:18We're off and underway, in Lima, Peru, Sporting Cristal against Bolivar, Sporting Cristal just a solitary point to their name in Group G, they surely need a win tonight.
00:38For the crowd as well, clip forward into a good area, here's a real charge over the goalkeeper in the opening goal, and it is the veteran.
00:51The timing of the run, absolutely sublime.
00:58And how good is this from the 38-year-old? Doesn't need a touch, just knows exactly where the goalkeeper is.
01:08All his years of experience.
01:17And the big man delivers.
01:19Look at this high pressure from Sporting Cristal, and very difficult for Bolivar to play themselves out of danger, but they have done just that.
01:26And now there's an opportunity, he's clean through, chance for one, one over the goalkeeper, and lack the required subtlety.
01:34For one apiece, and just as Calceruccio kept his composure to finish after five minutes, Romero, in a not dissimilar situation,
01:47clipped the ball over the crossbar, and couldn't apply the finish for Bolivar.
01:52Now on the breakaway, Bolivar, trying to make things happen, referee.
02:12He's done really well, actually, in keeping up with play.
02:14That's going to be a yellow card, and I think that's spot on as well from the referee.
02:17I mean, he knows what he's doing there, Bratel.
02:19For one, from his perspective, I mean, he just wants to halt the attack, doesn't he?
02:23He's just Bratel.
02:24The yellow card comes out, too.
02:45It's a late challenge.
02:46Bratel is pretty confident, pretty pleased.
02:50Certainly been pleased with the score at halftime, because Martin...
02:53And the first 45 minutes are over that Sporting Cristal.
03:01The Peruvian team is taking the lead, and they are winning.
03:04One year over Bolivar, Martingo.
03:07This field.
03:16Bolivar, Martingo.
03:17Thank you for the start of the second half.
03:20Cristal.
03:21Had that goal advantage.
03:24It's a crucial advantage as well, because earlier on, it's just,
03:26you see the confirmation quickly of that...
03:35All played forwards.
03:36an opportunity now to skip around the goalkeeper
03:38come back to good one
03:40and there's number two
03:42Cautoruccio once again
03:47and the 38 year old
03:49just can't stop scoring
03:50he's in the form of his life
03:55the past year or so
03:56huge goal for Sporting Cristal
03:59in their bid
04:01to finish in the top two in the group
04:02how good is that by the way
04:04in terms of the assist
04:06how good is the movement
04:09the weight on the pass
04:11and it's a poacher's finish
04:15Macheco
04:18skipping around the goalkeeper
04:21keeping his composure
04:22and laying it on a plate
04:25for the big Uruguayan
04:26Sporting Cristal 2, Bolivar 0
04:29just
04:30bring this whole group to life
04:33and what's going on here
04:34must have done by nothing
04:36I think if truth be told
04:38Cristal know they're getting closer here
04:47a little nibble
04:58and it's going to be a free kick
04:59in a good position as well
05:01free kick now in a good position
05:03it is going to be
05:07Ramiro Vaca
05:08side netting
05:10he wasn't a million miles away here
05:17in fairness the goalkeeper's probably got it covered
05:20what can he create
05:29nice enough idea
05:32misjudged defensively
05:35and that is an absolutely astonishing block
05:38that is as good as a goal
05:40it was completely misjudged initially wasn't it
05:47how about that
05:49I mean that is so good
05:50from Gianfranco Chavez the captain
05:52because look at the slide in here
05:57that they've demonstrated
05:59been so impressive
06:00and they're coming forward again
06:01and this man's on a hat-trick
06:02could he get number three
06:05goalkeeper makes the save
06:07and on the follow-up
06:08it's bundled behind
06:09it's a goal kick in the end
06:11this is the chance to make it three
06:21and I mean that attack
06:22the game isn't done just yet
06:24because if Bolivar can get themselves a goal
06:27keeping his fingertips on it
06:29and for a goal
06:37it's a cracker
06:39and they are back in it
06:41and of course it's that man
