00:00La orden de Juan BenÃtez.
00:05Ya juegan Botafogo y Estudiantes.
00:09Botafogo de blanco y negro, Estudiantes de rojo y blanco.
00:20Pelota que tenÃa la mitad en la defensa David Ricardo, asà jugando atrás.
00:24Ahora la aparición de Jair Cuña, que juega atrás con el arquero, con John.
00:30David Ricardo, saliendo con Alex Telles, aquà sobre la izquierda.
00:43El pase por la banda para que bajara como podÃa, Igor Jesús.
00:49Mentioned some key options for Estudiantes,
00:51but Botafogo are missing some key players as well.
00:54Get to that in a moment.
00:55Ball dropped over the top, hooked back towards the penalty spot.
00:58Powerful downward header from Igor Jesús.
01:01Missing outs for the hosts here tonight.
01:03Mesa getting forward.
01:06Still loose.
01:07And on the turn, shot forward from Lucas Alario.
01:11Opened up with road losses in two of their first three group stage games, Botafogo.
01:22But starting to find their form.
01:25Here's Mesa.
01:26Goalkeeper of the tournament a year ago, Botafogo's number 12.
01:35John could just watch that over his crossbar.
01:40I mentioned the home fans with their banner before the match calling it a fortress here.
01:49Wonderful cross in towards Igor Jesús.
01:52And it's off.
01:53Mancilla out for another Botafogo corner.
01:56Just carving out that space needed to get the cross away.
02:01Shifting it so quickly on his left.
02:03And in fact, it wasn't a goalkeeper.
02:05It was Bocelli.
02:07Who got the last touch on the cross.
02:10Read the situation well.
02:12He couldn't quite break on a potential counter.
02:17Nice.
02:18Some delayed tactics from the captain.
02:22See a yellow card shown.
02:24Youngster at the back for Botafogo.
02:26As we are 20 minutes gone.
02:29Still scoreless.
02:30Looking to change that to Glorioso.
02:32Chip back towards the back stick.
02:34Big chance, Cui Havana.
02:37Three goals in his last three.
02:41Such a clever chip towards the second stick.
02:44And Artur really should have an assist for that inventive bit of play.
02:51Slip through.
02:55And as he made his way into the Estudiantes area.
02:58Spotted Cui Havana making the run.
03:01Put it on a platter.
03:04Cui Havana.
03:08Slips towards Marlon Freitas.
03:10Sosa got onto it.
03:12And Artur was on to the loose ball in a flash.
03:24Marlon Freitas.
03:27Room to roam for Jair Cunha.
03:29He measures the cross in towards the back post.
03:32Slammed the cross.
03:35And slotted over the line at the back post.
03:41Juan Cruz there.
03:43To give Botafogo the lead just before halftime.
03:47Jair Cunha, the killer ball.
03:52Misjudged in defense by Estudiantes.
03:56And Artur just smashed it into a hopeful area.
04:02Where the number nine, Juan Cruz, was making the gamble.
04:07Botafogo one.
04:09Estudiantes nil.
04:18First career Libertas.
04:19Roster overhaul.
04:24As Botafogo start to find their footing in 2025.
04:27Clever dummy, Cui Havana to the byline.
04:29Clipped up into the area.
04:31Rising above everybody, Igor Jesus.
04:34The Pincharrata.
04:36Clever from Cui Havana to let it run.
04:40Put it up in the air for his man to go and attack it.
04:45Igor Jesus, such an aerial threat.
04:48Will pull up on the reins to bring it into halftime.
04:53A nervy first half for Botafogo.
04:56But they do find the first goal just three minutes before the break.
05:00Juan Cruz capping off a lovely move started by Jair Cunha.
05:04The assist by Artur.
05:06And the first Libertadores goal for the new Botafogo number nine.
05:10Sees Glorioso in front at halftime.
05:14The score at the break.
05:16Botafogo one.
05:18Estudiantes nil.
05:20Refreshed the energy of the Fogal faithful.
05:24It's Botafogo kicking off the second half leading a goal to nil.
05:27Thanks to the first career Libertadores goal from their new number nine, Juan Cruz.
05:33Black and whites.
05:36Glorioso.
05:37The defending champion so Libertadores.
05:39Botafogo needing to avoid defeat tonight.
05:44To keep themselves in the competition ahead of the final day of the group.
05:50Now a lead to protect into this second 45.
05:54Setting up at the moment.
05:56For a sensational final day.
06:00In.
06:01Chases on.
06:02The goal scorer.
06:03Juan Cruz.
06:04Spinning back.
06:05Looking for Cuiabano.
06:06Who's past one.
06:07He's past the second.
06:08Deflected effort.
06:09Touch wide in the near post.
06:10Mancisha.
06:11Reacted well.
06:12Cuiabano.
06:13Around one.
06:14Beyond the second.
06:15As.
06:16Nunez couldn't.
06:17Freitas.
06:18Onto the loose ball.
06:19Blocked by Estudiantes.
06:20Now it's with Artur.
06:21Slipping it in.
06:22Vitinho chips it up.
06:23Igor Jesus.
06:24Deflected.
06:25Off the bar.
06:26And over the top.
06:27It'll be another corner kick.
06:28Well works down the right.
06:29Artur.
06:30Finding the run of Vitinho.
06:32Jesus.
06:33Powerfully.
06:34Hitting his header down.
06:35And off.
06:36The woodwork.

07:11He claims the final touch.
07:14It's a mistake from Mancisa.
07:182-0.
07:19They lead over Estudiantes.
07:23He was on his down jump, Igor Jesus.
07:26But he wasn't distracted by the mass of bodies in front.
07:31Mancisa came and was punching at thin air.
07:37Misjudged by Mancisa.
07:41Igor Jesus.
