00:00Under the guidance of manager Walter Ribonetto, the team showcased resilience and tactical prowess

00:07in their previous round against Colombia's Deportes Tolima.

00:12They got a 1-0 victory in Ibague.

00:16And then they won another time, 1-0.

00:22With Christian Podacar sealing another victory.

00:30We shall see what we are underway here in Peru.

00:32It's Melgar against Cerro Borteno for a place in the Libertadores group stage.

00:38Cerro Borteno in their change gold shirts.

00:42Melgar in their traditional black and red.

00:45It is the Peruvians on the attack early.

00:50That ball comes in from Matias Pérez.

00:55It's Tomas Martínez who's the ball and tries to find Podacar.

00:59It's cleared away for Jonathan Torres to go and shoot.

01:02Germán Benítez. Benítez down the line. That's a good ball.

01:05Cecilio Domínguez will get there.

01:06Domínguez cuts inside. Brought down.

01:09And it's a penalty.

01:11Piero Massa well placed.

01:14And points shooting at the other end saying, where's my free kick?

01:18But there's contact. It's clumsy.

01:21And Cecilio Domínguez sees it coming a mile off.

01:27Takes that touch inside the defender.

01:33Domínguez against Kasida.

01:36Saved by the goalkeeper.

01:43Kasida guesses correctly.

01:45Gets down to his right and holds the ball to prevent the rebound.

01:54Stuttered run up.

01:58Over the top.

02:00Eto'oube's going to get there. Gets there before the keeper.

02:05He cannot direct it goalwards.

02:09I'm not sure that is the case.

02:11It's onside. Eto'oube's in.

02:13Gets there first.

02:15Gets a shot away which goes just off target.

02:17Then is caught by the goalkeeper.

02:21Caught by the goalkeeper.

02:30Yellow card as we saw. Clearly brandished.

02:32But didn't see the rebound.

02:38Change of taker.

02:40Change of fortune.

02:42Will it be a repeat from Kasida?

02:44He can't get anywhere near this one.

02:46Pires de Mota.

02:48Slams home. Sends the keeper the wrong way.

02:51And at the second time of asking.

02:53Celo Porteno.

02:55Are in front from the penalty spot.

02:59The Paraguay lead by one goal to nil.

03:19He comes in.

03:21Put it down.

03:29Now they are looking for a response.

03:31Martinez.

03:33Shoots.

03:35I think that is the case.

03:49And he's headed over the top of the crossbar.

03:51And that may be

03:53the final action of the half.

03:55It is. Piero Massa

03:57blows for half time

03:59here in Arequipa.

04:01It's a yellow card. Nil.

04:03Celo Porteno won

04:05thanks to Robert Pires de Mota's penalty.

04:10So the first 45 minutes

04:12are gone and Celo Porteno

04:14they are taking the lead.

04:16One nil thanks to the goal scored

04:18by Robert Pires.

04:20So let's see if Melgar can do something

04:22in the next 45.

04:24If they can turn this situation around.

04:32Domestically.

04:34For this Melgar side.

04:36It's where the other side used to lose it.

04:43I think in the context of the tie

04:45not be able to afford to lose here tonight.

04:47A draw maybe

04:49wouldn't be terrible.

04:52One off game.

04:53Then it would make the game.

04:56Taken short again Cabrera.

04:58Back once more with Tandaso.

05:00Well worked into Martinez.

05:01Martinez couldn't quite take it in his stride

05:03but still with Martinez.

05:05And the shot that comes in in the end

05:07is lifted over the top of the crossbar.

05:09He bounces off Cecilio Dominguez.

05:12He's chopped down.

05:14The play goes on.

05:16Headed back onto the edge of the area.

05:18Bordecai can't get the shot away.

05:20Martinez can!

05:22And Martinez draws a really good save.

05:32Gatito, the little cat

05:34earning his nickname.

05:36With those reflexes to flip the ball

05:38over the top of the crossbar.

05:42Inking approaching the hour mark

05:44to bring in the extra

05:46holding midfielder.

05:48Can't play the centre back actually.

05:50He did against Monagas.

05:52Three kick. Swung in, header on goal.

05:54Caseta holds.

05:56A second as I said.

05:58A blow for Melgar.

06:01He is.

06:03Gatito Fernandez.

06:05That's why Melgar

06:07came to bring him in.

06:09Bordecai, Bordecai!

06:11Great chance.

06:13Wonderful chance.

06:17Good pass by Martinez.

06:19Having chopped inside

06:21Velasquez.

06:23Bordecai

06:25has to hit the target.

06:27Legge in their attempts

06:29to hold on to a one goal advantage.

06:31Martinez

06:33lifts the ball into the area.

06:35Bordecai brings it down.

06:37Straight.

06:41Excellent from Martinez.

06:43Almost a very costly slip there from Velasquez.

06:45Another forward thrown in at this stage.

06:47Leite on for Melgar

06:49to see if they can salvage something.

06:53And that's a clear shirt pull

06:55and will be a yellow card.

07:01A few options to take it.

07:03Roberto Fernandez seems to be

07:05pushing his defensive line further out

07:07towards the edge of the box.

07:09A header comes in.

07:11Villa-Barrios.

07:13In figure.

07:15As he gets on the ball

07:17and looks for that next pass.

07:19Finds it out wide on the right.

07:23Shot comes in from range.

07:25In figure.

07:27As he gets on the ball

07:29and looks for that next pass.

07:31Finds it out wide on the right.

07:35Shot comes in from range.

07:39A good shot at that from Guzman.

07:43You can't begrudge Guzman when he works the goalkeeper.

07:45How often though do we see players

07:47that's volleyed out for a throw.

07:51And that will be enough now for Piero Massa.

07:55It ends here in Peru.

07:57Serra Porteno holds on

07:59for that one goal.

08:01And that is a victory

08:03for Serra Porteno.

08:05So everything will be decided

08:07in the second leg.

08:09Serra Porteno will take

08:11this advantage and travel to Paraguay.
