00:01So let's see what happened.
00:03This decides looking for the same.
00:06La Gloria Eterna.
00:08The eternal glory.
00:21First Darío on the final match day of the Libertadores group phase.
00:25I'm Joel Richards, your match commentator.
00:27To play for as the Peruvians looking for an early.
00:30Start against River.
00:35To just lay out the.
00:38Acuna.
00:44Coulson, Ignacio Fernández who.
00:46Set up nicely for him but he.
00:48That said, this result suits them absolutely perfectly.
00:52Given that Independiente del Valle in Barcelona are still drawing.
00:56It's Mast'Antuono through to Driuzzi.
00:58Real opportunity here for the first.
00:59Puts it wide.
01:04Look at this for Mast'Antuono.
01:05The turn to get away from Caravalli.
01:09And then it's that run through that we know he's always going to do.
01:12That's still unstoppable.
01:14And Driuzzi controlled it.
01:21Neatly.
01:23And he was just looking to chip it over.
01:29Bustos.
01:35Nacho Fernández has space.
01:38Looks to go alone.
01:42His pass he had.
01:43Flores and Valera.
01:45To offload.
01:47That's Colidio.
01:48Great work by the forward.
01:51And an excellent save by Sebastian Britos.
01:58See Colidio starts off with a little flick and then it's lovely drop of the shoulder.
02:03They are looking for qualification for the knockout phase.
02:24Mast'Antuono finds Colidio.
02:25Colidio.
02:26Good save by Britos.
02:27Forces to parry it.
02:28As that time Colidio really did get power on his shot.
02:31In Ecuador there's been a goal for Barcelona.
02:34That changes the outlook of this match.
02:36Colidio.
02:37Again it's straight at Britos.
02:42It's a result that very much suits Universitario then.
02:46Well this here is something that doesn't necessarily suit River Plate.
02:51They're looking to be one of the group winners with the most amount of points.
02:58Lovely back heel from Mast'Antuono for Nacho Fernandes.
03:01Driussi.
03:02Backed again for Mast'Antuono who's going to go for goal.
03:06Didn't quite get a hold of that didn't he Britos?
03:10A little bit deeper.
03:11It is Castaño.
03:13Looks for Pesela.
03:15Acuna.
03:17Colidio's in there.
03:18It's an opening for Nacho Fernandes.
03:19Colidio, he gets the final shot.
03:21And he gets the opening goal for River Plate.
03:28Facundo Colidio.
03:31With his sixth goal of the season.
03:34Finally breaks the deadlock for River Plate.
03:38Not the tidiest of goals.
03:41It's Acuna, the left back, who delivers it.
03:45Colidio's going for the header himself.
03:48Britos can only parry it.
03:49And the forward is alert enough to poke that ball home.
03:57And open the scoring for River Plate.
04:01Britos did well to block that shot from Nacho Fernandes.
04:09It's already been a busy night for Britos.
04:11Fabrizio.
04:14Fernandes, Briussi.
04:16Fernandes again.
04:17That's a foul.
04:18Let's play on with Colidio.
04:19Lovely pass for Bustos.
04:23Fabrizio Bustos.
04:24Colidio!
04:26Saved by Sebastian Britos on that occasion.
04:32That's a foul.
04:34Play on and lovely pass by Colidio.
04:38We've got the return from Bustos.
04:48He's got Caravelli close to him, should he prefer that option.
04:55Flores.
04:57Who's short.
04:59To Concha.
05:00It's a brilliant goal by Jairo Concha.
05:02And Universitario have found the equalizer right on halftime.
05:08And what an important goal that is for the Peruvians.
05:15No one was marking Concha.
05:17He says Mastantuono who's just tries to chase him down.
05:25And you could argue that Armani in goal for River Plate should do more here.
05:29This is the view that Armani gets.
05:35And there's certainly a wicked curl on it.
05:38A dip.
05:40On that shot by Concha.
05:46That is Fusatti's celebration.
05:49But what is a crucial goal for the Peruvians Universitario in Buenos Aires.
05:54It's a goal that's the last kick of the game in this first half.
06:05And it's a goal that puts Universitario back in the qualification spot for the knockout phase.

06:30Two deflections on the way through.
