00:00And this first leg of the second qualification phase in the Libertadores, we have Deportes

00:13Tolima, it's Football Club Melgar, and we are underway then in Ibague at the Estadio

00:24Toro here in Colombia, it's Deportes Tolima against Football Club Melgar, Colombia against

00:33Peru, I'm Joel Richards your commentator this evening in this first leg.

00:38Well, Castro, Hernandez continues this run, it's good play from Tolima, a real opportunity

01:00there for Lencina, and Perez blasts it over, better from Rescaldo's side, good movement,

01:12Lencina is desperately close to getting, of this year's competition, that's Melgar looking

01:22to make sure they're in that group phase too, here is Martinez's delivery, cleared by Angulo,

01:31that's a wonderful save by Fiamarine, the danger's not over, it's blasted across the

01:36face of goal by Barrios, but out of absolutely nowhere Christopher Fiamarine produces a brilliant

01:48save to keep this game goalless, Martinez, you've got the ricochet, great technique with

01:58the outside of the boot, puts it in nicely for looking for the run of Castro, but once

02:06again Christopher Fiamarine, with a safe pair of hands in goal for Tolima, it's the right

02:24decision, Lencina came from offside surely, that is an absolute wonder goal that will

02:31not count, how about the finish though from Lencina, it's absolutely spectacular, Orsan

02:49keeps his move, now down the right hand side, Biar Barrios, another decent save by Fiamarine,

02:57there wasn't any power on that header, the goalkeeper of Tolima is forced into action,

03:03Rovira, looking for his captain who gets the header to it, but Quiñones is unable to get

03:17any power on Casada, a clean take, leaning over Barrios, there's a bit of space for Kenji

03:36Cabrera, bit of fortune to get the ball but it's still with Cabrera, still Cabrera, that's a

03:41brilliant goal by Kenji Cabrera and it gives Melgar the lead here in Colombia.

03:52Ribonetto's side break the deadlock, is why they talk about this young man.

04:03The ball's played here, Cabrera unable to reach it, but it's this space that he's able to attack,

04:10takes on Quiñones and doesn't think twice about going for goal, drills it into the near post,

04:18excellent from the 22 year old.

04:26Quiñones very much on Tolima, Rovira, Trujillo,

04:32finds Miranda, he's got Ariete on the outside, lovely ball in by Miranda, the play is still on,

04:38it's Castro, oh it's a free header there, Trujillo really was at the hub of this attack,

04:48it's this ball in from Miranda,

04:53Castro keeps it alive, Trujillo's unmarked and there's good movement, he's just unable to get

04:57a proper head.

05:04We're back underway in Colombia, Deportes, Tolima against Melgar, 1-0 to the Peruvians,

05:10the away side, I'm Joel Richards, your commentator this evening in this first leg,

05:15the second round of qualification in the Comibol Libertadores.

05:21Confirmation of the substitutions just at the top of your screens,

05:24Hortado Ramirez coming on, and here's an early start for Trujillo, oh they've come off the woodwork,

05:35the attack's still on, Rovira looks for Hortado,

05:41an attack is still on, Pérez on the edge of the box,

05:44swung in, they want a handball, Abel not giving anything there, driven back in.

05:59Castro, got Lencina, I wonder if he didn't release a bit earlier, Lencina, there's the equaliser,

06:07it didn't matter that Castro hadn't released him early on,

06:10that's what they wanted and that's the celebration.

06:14And there is the celebration from Lencina which the supporters of Tolima are getting

06:24used to seeing, it's his third goal this season,

06:30and we've mentioned the high press from Tolima, we've seen that throughout this match,

06:34it hadn't always come off for them, there is Leonel Gonzalez who loses the ball for Melgar,

06:41it's just here where he takes that extra touch, good work by Castro, tenacious stuff,

06:46and then the finish from Gonzalo Lencina that puts Tolima back on level terms.

07:01They wanted to see...

07:02Back into the fray in the second half, here's Pérez, this is a lovely play from Tolima,

07:12still Pérez, looks to go for goal himself.

07:21Still seeing though that movement from Rescalvo's side, interesting passages of play,

07:29they bring it out of the fence, including the full-back,

07:35we've then got options up the flank or indeed in the middle with Pérez, the outlet.

07:42And Rovira looking to launch Juanto Pérez.

08:02Goes to Lencina, it's an excellent save from Cáseda.

08:04The attack is still on for Tolima, well executed pass.

08:22Pérez looks to go for goal, it's Lencina.

08:26Pierre Barrios is down after getting the full force of that shot from Gustavo Ramírez.

08:35That is the end of proceedings here, it's been an engaging second half,

08:47Rescalvo can't quite believe that his side haven't managed to get an equaliser,

08:52as will the players and the supporters of Deportes Tolima.

08:56They've lost this first leg in Colombia, 1-0 to Melgar.

09:02But you feel there's a lot more to come from this tie.

09:07Tolima on balance, you feel the more proficient side.
