00:00Andres Rojas has us underway at the Allianz Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

00:09Palmeiras versus Cerro Porteño. I'm Joel Richards, your commentator, this evening.

00:20Huge expectation for the home side. We mentioned the expectation that the Palmeiras

00:30put on a real challenge for the Libertadores this year.

00:40There's Abel Ferreira, a legend in the game. Qualification phase.

00:44And then last week, Jonathan Torres' hat-trick against Bolívar helped them on the way to a 4-2 win.

00:50Now, though, they're on the back foot. Rios puts it across the face of goal.

00:53And Piqueras just... tried to... didn't quite get the contact or direction on it.

01:00See here, Richard Rios to Colombian getting into a great position. Dangerous ball.

01:05In the knowledge, they've got the quality out there to make it count when necessary.

01:16Vega goes down. No foul given by the referee. Vega still down.

01:20It's a shoulder injury, isn't it, to Vega.

01:38They're unable to keep possession.

01:42Well read by Ferdinandes.

01:44And straight to the groin. Esteva, the defender closest to them.

02:11Or the man defending, I should say.

02:14Aguajo.

02:15That gets Torres.

02:25It's a lovely pass, though, that releases.

02:29And here's Anderson. Real opportunity here. There's the opener for Palmeiras.

02:34And they just walk it into the back of the net. It's the Colombian, Richard Rios.

02:37He got the winner last week and he opens their account this evening.

02:42Palmeiras turn on the magic.

02:45This pass from Murillo that really opens everything up.

02:47Ball across from Facundo Torres is excellent.

02:57It's Anderson.

02:59He keeps it in play.

03:01And it would take your pick between three of the Palmeiras players.

03:04And ultimately it was...

03:06Here is Martinez.

03:09Touch just let him down ever so slightly.

03:11But here's Esteva with the real sighted goal.

03:12It's Esteva.

03:15The chances still on for Palmeiras, although it's excellent defending.

03:19The chances still on for Palmeiras, but it's outstanding defending.

03:29Let's try and get a clear view of what happened to Fernandes here.

03:34There's a knock, isn't there?

03:38By Facundo Torres.

03:40Much to do about nothing then.

03:47Comes to an end in this first half of football in Sao Paulo at the Allianz Arena.

03:52It's the one goal separating the two players.

03:56Richard Rios on the 41st minute scoring.

04:01The only goal of the game so far, the goal that gives Palmeiras the victory at this midway point.

04:07In a match that really has not come to life.

04:10Two changes made by Diego Martinez for Cerro Porteño.

04:16As we are underway in the second half of this clash between Palmeiras and Cerro Porteño.

04:22The goal from Richard Rios.

04:23The difference between these two sides right now.

04:26I'm Joel Richards, your match commentator.

04:28I mentioned the changes.

04:30The debutant, Rodrigo Gomez, has made way for Juan Iturbe.

04:34The first soft shot on goal in the second half from the visitors.

04:43And Federico Carrizo has come on for Viera.

04:48We had seen in charge of the set pieces for Cerro in the first half.

04:51So two changes made then by the Paraguayans.

04:54As they need to try and claw their way back into this game.

05:00He moved an awful lot in his career.

05:02Never really able to settle.

05:03Here's Esteval.

05:04He finds Rios opening here for Vitor Hockey.

05:08It's still with the center forward.

05:10He was looking to find Esteval.

05:12I'll tell you that elsewhere we've got some very big results going on right now.

05:26Bolivar in the same group.

05:27Bolivar are winning 2-0 at home against Sporting Cristal.

05:31It's not good news for the Peruvian.

05:33And of those 14 games, Palmeiras have won eight.

05:37Cerro just two.

05:38The rest, of course, draws.

05:43And there's a real opening here for Vitor Hockey.

05:45He's got options as well.

05:46He decides to go it alone.

05:47And he grabs the second goal for Palmeiras.

05:50Doubling their lead.

05:51And now there is real distance between the two.

05:54And now there is real distance between the three games.

05:58And where it's a really great time.

05:59So in the last place?

06:02Well, I think from the first place.

06:03Okay.

06:04We are also known to be the premier.

06:04This camera's got a little bit lighter.

06:05Lulz has been on.

06:06This camera's got a little bit lighter.

06:07No chance.

06:08This camera's got a little bit lighter.

06:09So confirmed that Vitor Roque's goal will not count, no goal.

06:22Facundo Torres, in his first season at Palmeiras, finds Esteban on the far post, and the youngster

06:27can't direct that.

06:32It's a clever ball from Torres, working the angles.

06:45Esteban very close from...

06:55Piquedrez, the Uruguayan left-back, it's a lovely ball, looking for Alan, and it's put

07:02out for another corner kick, Joaquin Piquedrez.

07:06And Benitez, on the far post, taking note.

07:13Ultimately, then the mistake comes, and then Palmeiras are able to bring it out.

07:25They've got two players down in that passage of football, you wonder when there's going

07:29to be a booking, and it is indeed going to be now.

07:39No complaints whatsoever for that foul on Alan.

07:46Rios, the goalscorer.

07:53Back with Rios, as excellent he finds Felipe Anderson.

07:58Beautiful ball in for Alan, excellent defending by Jorge Morel.

08:13Very much like for like for the remainder of this match for Palmeiras, once the substitution

08:19is able to take place.

08:36That...

08:41It's a wayward pass, and that allows Jose López to charge on goal.

08:46It's López!

08:48Blasts it wide.

08:51It's just a wayward pass in midfield by Cerro that gifted this opportunity to Palmeiras and

09:01to Jose López there.

09:02It's just that hand there from Velázquez that puts López off, doesn't it?

09:06Nonetheless, it's a...

09:09Olmeiras worked for it, but it's never been more than that.

09:14They're not an offside decision here.

09:17López puts it in the back of the net.

09:19It's not going to count.

09:21It's not clear, but it's certainly enough in it.

09:28I have no doubt.

09:40And that does bring us to an end then in Sao Paulo, where the points will remain.

09:45Palmeiras 1-0 thanks to a Richard Rios goal.

09:49They've defeated Cerro Porteño, and they go top of the table.
