00:00La Conmebol Libertadores, bienvenidos.

00:04Los equipos que se van formando en la Ciudad de La Plata, en la Argentina,

00:09esperando por el comienzo de esta nueva presentación del fútbol de Conmebol.

00:17Con la...

00:18Under way in La Plata.

00:25Four times champions estudiantes against last year's winners, Botafogo.

00:30From Group A, estudiantes, in their traditional red and white stripes,

00:36going right to left, Botafogo in their change,

00:38all put together a sort of challenge in this competition.

00:42It's not really come to fruition so far, and they're under pressure here,

00:45and maybe should be behind.

00:47Really good opportunity for Artur.

00:50And Matthias Mancilla rightly asking his defenders, where were you?

00:55Look at Artur, the tiny figure of Artur.

00:58Ghosts onto the edge of the six-yard box, no one picking him up.

01:05Can't keep his header down.

01:09Estudiantes coming in and triggering a release cause from Boca Juniors to bring Medina to the club.

01:14Paraguayan now, Arsena India.

01:23Medina beautifully done from the former Boca man.

01:26Medina shoots.

01:28Shots rising into the stand behind the goal.

01:31Round of applause.

01:32Absolutely skins, Gregory.

01:36That would have been some way to open your account for Estudiantes.

01:43Tempo into the attack.

01:44This cues the pass that goes to Barbosa, but...

01:48Estudiantes look to win it back quickly, and they've overstepped the mark here.

01:52It's going to be a yellow card, first of the game.

01:56And it's going to be shown, too, Christian Medina.

02:00Just arrived here late on Alexander Barroza.

02:03A little over-eager on this occasion.

02:05Ball comes in.

02:22It is on the head of Karisho.

02:24And John has to get down and make the save.

02:32Karisho just gets a little bit of distance.

02:35Another in-swinger from Tobio Burgos.

02:37Another chance!

02:39And another chance goes begging.

02:42Karisho it was.

02:44I think it was Ascaciba who wins the initial header.

02:48Very difficult for Guido Karisho to do much with that other than what he did.

02:53The ball just flying across the face of goal.

03:00Invited forward down the left.

03:02Put under pressure and forced backwards by Artur.

03:05To Gabriel Neves.

03:07Neves again with one of those raking diagonals.

03:09Karisho onto the second ball.

03:12Karisho shoots.

03:12Deflected.

03:14And it's a big mistake.

03:16John lets the ball slip past him.

03:18And somehow Estudiantes have led.

03:20Eduardo Dominguez can't quite believe it.

03:24But it is Estudiantes 1, Botafogo 0 in the most fortuitous of circumstances through his grasps.

03:31Space was there for Karisho to shoot, but there was no danger at that stage.

03:40And John Victor just gets it all wrong.

03:43What a gift for Estudiantes.

03:50They'll feel they've been the better team and deserve being in front.

03:54And with that, the half-time whistle blows.

04:03Estudiantes lead the reigning champions, Botafogo by one goal to nil.

04:08Guido Karisho with the goal.

04:13But Owen Farm now wearing the captain's armband, the number nine, in the absence of Azcaciba.

04:17But we are back underway in La Plata.

04:21Estudiantes defending that one goal lead.

04:23And now going from left to right here at the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi in La Plata.

04:32Inside the area, clip cross towards the back post.

04:35Defended well.

04:36Only away as far as Alex Telles.

04:38Another cross comes in.

04:39Another good delivery.

04:40And somehow into the hands of Matthias Mancisha.

04:48Here's the word from the keeper.

04:50Wonderful delivery from Alex Telles.

04:53And a header from, what, four yards out?

04:56Straight down into the ground from Artur.

04:59A couple of touches.

05:01Another corner for Estudiantes.

05:04This one again gets all the way through to the back post.

05:08John is forced to save.

05:10And prevents it from going behind for a corner.

05:12Under pressure but finds a pass forward.

05:26Igor Jesus again.

05:28Challenge snapping in at his heels immediately from Munez.

05:31And eventually he's brought down by Eric Messer, I believe.

05:36The yellow card being shown to the fullback.

05:38Igor Jesus having the ball with his back to goal.

05:42Challenge comes in behind him immediately.

05:44An attack here for Estudiantes.

05:45Pulled back towards the edge of the area.

05:47Neves is there.

05:48And Neves drags the shot just wide.

05:51Neves perhaps now being given a little bit more freedom since the replacement of Ascaciba for Kosciowinski.

06:05Real chance to break.

06:11Botafogo coming forward.

06:14Jefferson Zabarino shoots off the underside of the crossbar.

06:18Still not safe.

06:21Finally.

06:24Finally away and out for a corner.

06:30He's given away cheaply.

06:32It's a wonderful break.

06:33Looked as though this challenge would stop it.

06:36But Jefferson Zabarino kept on going.

06:39And it's a wonderful effort.

06:44And by the most minute of margins.

06:48Estudiantes still lead.

06:50Look at that.

06:50Off the underside of the...

06:52We haven't seen much of Jefferson Zabarino.

06:56He's been a bit of a spectator for large parts of this game.

06:59I mean very nearly.

07:00He just announced himself in La Plata.

07:11Here's Matthias Martins.

07:13Coming inside.

07:14Shoots.

07:15And he's forced a good stop from Matthias Mancic at his near post.

07:20But it was firmly struck.

07:25With the five minutes up here in La Plata.

07:28There is the final whistle.

07:31It's a win for Estudiantes by one goal to nil.

07:39And with it, Estudiantes move just a point behind Univestad de Chile at the top of Group A, leaving the holders.

07:47The defending champions, Botafogo, with only three points, down in third.

07:55And with it all to do in the second half.
