00:00And it's not particularly pretty, but...

00:05They haven't conceded in the last five Libertadores ties.

00:09Now, danger here for Sampaolo.

00:11There it is, and they do concede!

00:14The keeper turning it into the pace of Almeida, the Argentine,

00:19and we've got the goal Botafogo wanted.

00:23And from a neutral perspective, that's absolutely bang-on.

00:27Sampaolo did it at the back.

00:29Rafael couldn't find that safe area.

00:33And the young Argentine has given Botafogo the lead,

00:36and it is now game on.

00:39And it's becoming, not just today, John,

00:41but over the course of the first leg.

00:42Botafogo, they're the side that have had all the chances.

00:44They're the side that have been trying to apply the high press.

00:46They win it back really high at the pitch here,

00:48and it's very neatly done.

00:50And just look at Tiago Almeida,

00:51because he's just alive to the possibility.

00:53He knows that he's only going to get one sniff at this,

00:55and when it comes back to him, he just nods it guardwards.

00:58I mean, I don't think there's too much that the goalkeeper

01:00really could have done there.

01:02Rafael, I mean, he's got to get a paw on it,

01:05because he knows his player's coming in behind him.

01:07But Tiago Almeida's there, and now, as you rightly say,

01:10we do have a game on our hands.

01:12Sampaolo, they can no longer sit back.

01:15They have to come out and attack,

01:16and maybe we'll see a little bit more freedom in this game.

01:20Here he is again. Solid.

01:25Tries to play his side out of a hole, and does so.

01:27Now the White Shirts are streaking forward.

01:29They'd like the goal here.

01:30Third time lucky, perhaps?

01:32Unselfish!

01:34Botafogo, Almeida, other score sheets.

01:39You can hear the travelling fans in the background.

01:44Powers his way through as he's done all night.

01:47Caesar's pace.

01:50Well, they're punished, Peñarol, but we've had a game.

01:54It's been a terrific spectacle in the Carnival Libertadores.

01:59Clinical from Botafogo, finally.

02:03Excellently worked counter-attack.

02:05Beautiful finish by Almeida.

02:10And what's interesting, though, is that

02:12it's not just the goalkeeper.

02:14It's the whole team.
