00:00As the two sides make their way out onto the pitch.
00:05Fluminense in their famous red, green and white tricolor shirts.
00:12Anse Kaldas in all white, black shirt.
00:17And we're underway in Rio de Janeiro.
00:20Home side Fluminense know that only a win will do for them to top Group F
00:25and grab that all-important buy into the Copa Sur-Romenica in the last 16.
00:30The visitors, once they call this, the holding central midfielders,
00:34Paolo Hickey goes a little bit forward.
00:36Here's a chance for John Arias, crosses that out of the box.
00:39Hercules is there at the edge of the area.
00:41Back out to John Arias.
00:42The Colombian lifts it up.
00:43Everaldo's just too high for him, but a chance for Martinelli.
00:46Shot on goal, and it's 1-0.
00:49We've barely got underway here.
00:52Martell's Martinelli has already got the ball in the back of the net.
00:56Fluminense 1, Anse Kaldas 0.
00:59John Arias chips it over there.
01:03It was not cleared.
01:05Martinelli on the edge of the box.
01:07Aware, ready to get a shot away.
01:09Drilled low into the bottom corner.
01:13No chance for the goalkeeper, and that is a superb start for Fluminense.
01:18Nightmare for Anse Kaldas.
01:33Great is the center back.
01:35Is it down the line for Fluminense?
01:37Is it first time inside towards Serena?
01:40Serena tries to cut back, and that seemed to come off the arm
01:45of the Anse Kaldas player.
01:48That is a penalty kick.
01:49Kevin Serena comes across.
01:52Cardona is his supporting arm.
01:58John Arias, the favorite taker, already prepping.
02:03And he's going to have a look at this.
02:08It's the right decision.
02:12I'm sure the referee will see this again and overturn this award.
02:21As you see, there's nothing that Cardona can do to avoid that.
02:25He has to put his arm down to support himself.
02:28No question in regards to the contact.
02:33If this might be given.
02:37Overturned.
02:39The right decision in the end there.
02:41Plays it way to Soleta.
02:43Garcia, lovely flick to Moreno.
02:48Will this open up for Matteo Garcia?
02:50It's a great strike.
02:51It's just wide.
02:53Lovely technique.
02:56See that hits the...
02:59The post holding up the goal.
03:01Comes back and hits Fabio in the face.
03:06It's a really good attempt there from Matteo Garcia.
03:09Couldn't quite find that final pass.
03:11Martinelli lobs it back in.
03:12Maybe a chance for Serena.
03:13Catch it ahead of the goalkeeper.
03:14And it's in!
03:15It's in the back of the net.
03:18Once they called us nil.
03:24See Martinelli just launching that back in with the header.
03:27Arias gets a touch.
03:29And Serena, one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
03:32Does get there first.
03:36Guiri gets clattered in the end.
03:38It's a re-kept, in fact, that makes a header.
03:45I wonder if AAR might look at that for a high boot.
03:49But Serena has to go for it.
03:52And he gets there first.
03:54And it's not his boot that makes contact with the goalkeeper.
03:57Brave play from the Colombian winger.
04:01Chipped into the area.
04:07Goga gets that clear.
04:08A harmless one there.
04:10And Serena just lost out.
04:13Shot from distance.
04:15Fabio had to deal with that.
04:17There Garcia.
04:20And there is the halftime whistle.
04:22Dario Herrera from Argentina brings a close this first half.
04:27An eventful one.
04:29A very successful one from a Fluminense point of view.
04:32They are two goals to the good.
04:40And we're back underway.
04:41Fluminense in the second half where we're playing from left to right.
04:44Once they call us right to left.
04:51Center-back Freitas bringing it forward early on.
04:53Let's point this.
04:56Everaldo is really getting it in the neck from the home fans.
05:05That's a good through pass.
05:06Arias will get there first.
05:07What can he do?
05:09Against Cardona.
05:10Goes for the shot at the near post.
05:11Does.
05:18It's on target.
05:20Aguirre more than equal to that.
05:24Zapata manages to sneak in there ahead of Fuentes.
05:27Opportunity if he can find Moreno.
05:29Moreno gets the first touch.
05:30Gets a scorpion kick on the second.
05:32Of Palacios's head there.
05:34Is harmless and over the bar.
05:36Possible but it's been too easy for Fluminense to bring it out of the fence in fact.
05:41It's John Arias down in a heap.
05:47Colombian winger.
05:48Wester.
05:55Dances past Paul Hickey guns.
05:57Goes for the shot himself trying to catch Fabio.
05:59Now where's.
06:00Another shot on goal.
06:02It's blocked before it can get to Fabio.
06:04Patino has a goal.
06:05Again, Fabio is well equal to that.
06:07Patino's strike there.
06:11Gets a hold of it well but it is.
06:13Far too close to the goalkeeper.
06:15Masicalis coming forward with Peltran.
06:23Chipped into the area.
06:24Zapata gets the header.
06:25Again, it's just far too close to Fabio.
06:30Well won by Fluminense.
06:31Here's Nonato with a chance.
06:32Piquelmi on the angle of the area.
06:34Cuts inside.
06:35Cuts back.
06:36Goes all the way to the touchline.
06:38Tries to chip that over the goalkeeper.
06:39It's just about dealt with.
06:41Cuts inside.
06:42Patino's cross.
06:43Finally meets out Onze Caldas header.
06:45But it is such.
06:47A poor header.
06:49Gualberto Villaroyel San Jose.
06:53In fourth.
06:57There we go.
06:58There's the full time whistle.
06:59Fluminense winners tonight.
07:012-0 in the Maracana against.
07:03And Onze Caldas side that.
07:05Came here with plenty of hope.
07:08Really weren't able to show.
07:10Their football.
07:14Fluminense.
07:16Get the job done.
07:20They're through to the last 16 of the Copa Sudamericana.
07:22Onze Caldas will be forced to play a playoff against one of those teams that dropped out of the Copa Libertadores.
07:31And that brings an end to the group phase of both the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana.
07:37We'll be back in July with those Sudamericana playoffs that we mentioned.
07:46And then the following month we're back into Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana knockout action.
07:52Still plenty, plenty of football to be played in these two.
07:58Superb Continental Tournament.
08:00Superb Continental Tournament.
