00:00So Cusco Peru provides the backdrop. It is Cienciano against Deportes Aquique in what is an extremely tight Group H in the Commonwealth Sudamericana.
00:13The fans are pumped up, home and away. And this is the...
00:16I think I'm in Aero 2, Caracas 1. Elsewhere in the group, that's a very important game, of course, as well.
00:23So we are up and underway. It is Cienciano against Deportes Aquique. So much to play for.
00:31Deportes Aquique have dealt well with these routines. Cueva though, looking to change things. Jinking inside and out.
00:40Still Cueva. Does well to hang up the cross. There's the header! Perfectly placed by Gentile!
00:53That is a stunning, subtle header. A masterclass from Gaspard Gentile. A producer header of the highest quality in a big, big moment in the Sudamericana.
01:12Well, Cueva hangs up the cross. And from here, it's all about control. It's all about the parabola of the execution.
01:21You don't see many as cute as that. It's so clever from Gentile. Knows it has to be right. It has to be placed.
01:31And it just loops over the goalkeeper. It's a glorious goal. And it's Cienciano 1. Deportes Aquique 0.
01:39Dominant in the game, Cienciano, aren't they? Absolutely dominant. Torajon finds Valoyes.
02:01Touching side from Gentile! And there's the finish!
02:04Norano scores! And it is exactly what Cienciano deserve.
02:12They have been dominant in the opening 38 minutes of this game.
02:17Move! But it's all about this touch, isn't it, from Gentile.
02:21Look at that. Just opens up his body.
02:24And he only needs a moment.
02:29Slices apart the Deportes Aquique back line.
02:32Two-touch finish. 2-0. Cienciano cruising.
02:41It's 2-0 now. And when you look at the...
02:43Cien Americana groups...
02:47Not many sides. Here's a chance for number three!
02:51And it is!
02:53And it's Gentile again!
02:55And they're running riots!
02:58Deportes Aquique...
03:01Deportes Aquique and Cienciano are smiling!
03:10Well, it's chaotic. It's erratic.
03:13And it's ultimately suicidal football at the back from Deportes Aquique.
03:17And Gentile was just alive to the possibility.
03:21Some first half he's had two goals and an assist.
03:25And Cienciano, surely, are on their way to three points.
03:3941 minutes. I mean, Deportes Aquique a bit appalling.
03:41Let's be honest about that.
03:43But, oh my goodness, it could be number four.
03:45It's another great chance for Cienciano.
03:48And Cienciano...
03:50And...
03:51Noronha...
03:54...institution...
03:55...for the Portes Aquique.
03:57In comes the corner kick.
03:59And there is...
04:00Valoyez, who scored last week.
04:03Straight shootout for top spot.
04:05With Cienciano having to go to Brazil, knowing that a draw would be...
04:09...enough. So...
04:11That is a pretty perfect...
04:14...opening 45 minutes of football.
04:17From the tight group H.
04:19Rough it up to A.
04:20The side of the second half.
04:21It is Cienciano against Deportes Aquique.
04:24Home side leading by...
04:26...three goals to nil.
04:27Deportes Aquique at this point, quite frankly, need a bit of a miracle.
04:32That was quite something, wasn't it?
04:33Black stays down.
04:34It would be something special if somehow they could get a goal here.
04:38And really, that's the closest they've come through Ramos...
04:40...in the game so far.
04:41Here's Romagnoli.
04:42By Gentile.
04:43Light inside.
04:44Everything's to his left-hand side now.
04:45Gentile.
04:46Opps to go right there to Romagnoli.
04:47Romagnoli's ball across the face of goal.
04:48There is number four.
04:49The rod against his second.
04:50Cienciano.
04:51Are well and truly out of sight.
04:52And Deportes Aquique are crumbling.
04:56Talk about a gift-wrapped presence from Romagnoli.
05:21The weight of the pass.
05:24The timing.
05:25Inch perfect.
05:28And Osnar, Lerogna, just says, thank you very much.
05:39Rosero, three up against Alianza.
05:48The penalty area goes.
05:50Comes to Ramos.
05:51Of course, feeds it back in.
05:53And the effort on goal is scooped over the...
05:57And Uti Palomino is going to be one of those to come on.
06:01As they seek a fifth goal in the game.
06:03And Cueva just switches it left-hand side.
06:05Great chance for number five.
06:06Side netting.
06:07Donna Hattrick is Osnar on up.
06:10And he fizzed that one into the side netting.
06:13Produced maybe a consolation goal.
06:20Put over the wall, but that's catching practice really for the goalkeeper.
06:26Trying to find a consolation here.
06:28Moya.
06:29Cards Marcotti.
06:30Marcotti's ball inside.
06:31Then the effort from range is tipped over the crossbar by Barrios.
06:42Well that would have been goal of the night, wouldn't it?
06:44Now all of a sudden Cienciano consents number five.
06:49And it's Gentile on a hat-trick.
06:52It is Gentile!
06:54And that's a good save by Rakena.
06:57Well, yellow card shown.
07:00Valoyez isn't happy at all.
07:05Experienced pro Valoyez.
07:07It's the fat-based dreaming of going all the way.
07:13Oh, floated into the penalty.
07:15A chance for a consolation.
07:17It's a bit of a shout for handball in there I think as well.
07:20Off the woodwork.
07:21Just not that night.
07:22Black's up anyway.
07:23But just not that night.
07:27From there, who knows.
07:29There could be a chance now to make it five right at the end.
07:31Gentile wants the hat-trick.
07:32Square!
07:34Estrada went alone.
07:35And Gentile is giving him a look as if to say.
07:39Full-time whistle goes.
07:41A fabulous night and a fabulous result for Cienciano.
07:47They know now that they will go to Atletico Monero on match day six.
07:52And as long as they avoid defeats, they will top the group.
07:56If they do lose, they will finish second in the group and be treated to the lottery of the play-off round in July.
