00:00We'll keep one eye on the scoreboard as they kick off simultaneously in the other match in the group tonight.
00:22As away we go in Venezuela, it's Academia Puerto Cabello playing host to football club Melgar, the penultimate match.
00:35Picked up by Orson on the loose ball, helped into the attack in the area, and the sliding attempt goes wide.
00:43Romero came swiftly off his line.
00:46This is a clever dummy, and indeed it looks like it's a save from Romero.
00:56Oh, it's just skewed wide in the ends.
01:07Melgar players were quick to get in his ear and suggest that may be worthy of a read on review.
01:16Lontop hurling it down the line, Arias read it well.
01:25Picked up now by Guzman.
01:27Guzman on his left.
01:32Cut across it the wrong way.
01:37Chested forward by Mesa, and on the volley not far wide.
01:41Into the Puerto Cabello half to get the throw away.
01:48Guzman scrapping the head of the attack.
01:52Lisa!
01:55Caught it well.
01:57Well defended along the sideline, and that'll do it for the first half of play here in Valencia, Venezuela.
02:05Still scoreless between Academia Porto Cabello and Football Club Melgar.
02:11These two teams looking for a victory here tonight on the penultimate rounds of the group.
02:21Away we go for the second half.
02:23They've switched ends.
02:24It's the home side.
02:25Academia Porto Cabello to kick things off.
02:280-0 between Academia and El Domino.
02:35Just how.
02:37Forced a retreat of sorts.
02:40Now it's up into the area.
02:42That's a handball.
02:43That's a penalty.
02:44What on earth was Edwin Peraza thinking?
02:51Percy Lisa onto it.
02:53And it's Oscar Gonzalez.
02:57The man who swipes at the ball with his hands.
03:00Relies on Luis Romero, the goalkeeper and captain.
03:03To come to the rescue for Porto Cabello.
03:06Kenji Cabrera.
03:09Quick run up.
03:10Cabrera buries it.
03:12And Melgar are in front in Venezuela.
03:17Puerto Cabello 0.
03:20Melgar 1.
03:23Cabrera puts the visitors on top with his unerring finish from the spot.
03:30Second goal of the tournament for Cabrera.
03:48Cereno swings it out.
03:51Flicked on at the near post.
03:52Blocked the headed attempt by Hernandez.
03:55Now quickly in his Contreras to win it back.
03:58Up over the top.
04:00Mesa chest it down.
04:02Flag goes up.
04:06Well that'll be one of the easier decisions for the far side assistant.
04:10Clearly offside.
04:12This is the captain, Horacio Orsan.
04:18Needing to dull the pain on his left knee.
04:21Of the second halves of games.
04:23It's the most so far in the tournament.
04:26But it's they who conceded.
04:27Now looking for the equalizer.
04:29Deflected on its way.
04:33Out for a corner.
04:35To their strong starts to second halves.
04:38And that was well struck by Paredes.
04:41Cutting infield before it was helped.
04:44Importantly on its way out of play.
04:45Would have been a...
04:46Just second place up for grabs.
04:48Says Guzman.
04:50Has Tandasso on the overlap.
04:52A tame first time cross.
04:54Easily gathered by Romero.
04:55As it stands.
05:05For just his second career Sudamericana appearance.
05:10Now space on the right.
05:11Cross towards the back stick.
05:13Big chance.
05:14Pass.
05:15Padron.
05:18He'll be picking himself up ahead of this.
05:21Free kick.
05:22Once he's able.
05:22He's off the field to play.
05:24They're down a man temporarily.
05:26Free kick swung in.
05:27Knotted down.
05:29And Romero.
05:30Will grasp it.
05:32Rueful look to the bench.
05:34From Gerardo Padron.
05:37Not only.
05:38Will they possibly have to rush three substitutions.
05:41But they would be losing one of their more effective players on the night.
05:45As it's.
05:47Puerto Cabello temporarily down a man.
05:49And that's a loose pass.
05:50Picked off by Cabrera.
05:52Red and black.
05:54Streaking forward.
05:55Cabrera.
05:58Lasers it wide.
06:06And that wild lunch in midair.
06:20Melgar can perhaps move forward now on the counter.
06:24Ramos.
06:26One to Amad.
06:27He ducks it into the area.
06:30Low strike goes wide.
06:31And after it careened away from Rodriguez.
06:37It was Tomas Martinez on his left.
06:40Wonderfully done by the number four in red and black.
06:43Now sprayed to the far side.
06:45By Garcia.
06:46Cross.
06:48Deflected on its way.
06:49Contreras.
06:51Loses it.
06:51Martinez.
06:54Saved by Romero.
07:01Full-time whistle rings out.
07:09And the Lion of the South of Peru roar into second place in the group ahead of the final match day.
07:18A lone goal scored from the spot by Kenji Cabrera six minutes into the second half is the difference.
07:26It followed a moment of madness from Oscar Gonzalez.
07:30Who reached out.
07:31Swiped at the ball with his hands.
07:34And gifted a penalty.
07:36To El Domino.
07:38Melgar.
07:40Who win all three points.
07:42Will bring them back to our equipa.
07:45And will head into the final match day controlling their own destiny.
07:48It ends full-time from Venezuela.
07:50Academia Puerto Cabello.
