00:00 So we get underway this evening in Quito with Universidad Católica, the group leaders in
00:08 group B playing from left to right on your screen.
00:11 The light blue strip, it's the visitors, the answer in the all red attire playing from
00:18 right to left.
00:19 It's an expected win that the home supporters want to see this evening.
00:23 Straight away they send the ball into the box by Asia.
00:32 Nieto, straight to the keeper.
00:41 Here Graziani between the posts tonight for Alianza.
00:45 Four nil victory.
00:46 Very convincing fashion, two before the break, two after.
00:49 They're looking for the opener here, it's off the post.
00:53 Fajardo with the knockdown and the keeper rooted to the spot and can only watch as the
00:58 woodwork spares his blushes.
01:04 Well placed header two, down away from the keeper.
01:15 Time to regroup on this near side.
01:21 Nieto on the left peg, swings it across and that was a shot.
01:26 Might have to go alone here, he's got two defenders in front of him, support finally
01:30 arriving.
01:31 Patea, it's the other one here and it's a very good save down to his left by Rafael
01:37 Romo.
01:38 Been banging in the goals in the Commonwealth St Americana this year.
01:42 Plenty of power in that left boot when he strikes it cleanly.
01:48 Nieto gives it short, look.
01:53 That's a really good ball if Fajardo can get onto it.
01:57 Now was he dragged down by the defender?
02:08 Finally gets his chance, it's off the upright.
02:11 Turned in on the follow up.
02:15 Distinctive reactions give Universidad Católica the breakthrough as Facundo Martínez just
02:22 got something on it and directed it towards goal.
02:25 Pierre Graziani beaten by the set piece and could do nothing about the follow up.
02:33 And it's a disastrous few minutes for Alianza.
02:45 Well Facundo Martínez may be offside here when the free kick is taken.
02:52 This may be coming back.
02:55 Let's see what VAR thinks.
03:14 Goal won't stand.
03:15 Added straight over by Fajardo.
03:26 Great leap in the air doesn't he, the striker.
03:30 Turns back once more, it's a playbook easily read but Lue helping out this time but he
03:35 sends it over.
03:39 Well the support from the full back.
03:41 That's the last act of the first half that really should have seen Universidad Católica
03:45 finding the breakthrough.
03:46 They had the ball in the back of the net when Facundo Martínez struck home but he was offside
03:51 in the build up after the free kick from Ismael Díaz.
03:55 Certainly left Pierre Graziani stranded.
03:57 Alianza down to 10 men though at the break.
03:59 Could be a poor second half for them here in the wet of Quito.
04:02 It's Universidad Católica nil.
04:04 We get underway then here in Quito for the second half of Universidad Católica against
04:15 Alianza.
04:16 Wayside down a man after the sending off of Alfonso Cimara in the first half.
04:22 Católica unable to make the extra man advantage count just yet but there feels like there
04:28 is in case of a matter of time before.
04:31 It's a substitute, Díaz.
04:38 Martínez just rushed slightly just before he struck it.
04:56 Alianza whips it in, punched away by the keeper.
05:06 Dríguez takes a deflection, two and blue underneath it.
05:15 Now Rodríguez rushed it, didn't keep it down.
05:31 Struggled throughout this competition to get results.
05:33 Probably the early no-go moment for Universidad Católica.
05:46 Rodríguez.
05:49 Down inside the 18-yard box but only because of the effort from Rodríguez.
05:52 They continue and he snatches at it as Franco can now receive some treatment.
05:59 Eight of the night for them.
06:06 Flicked from the...
06:13 Díaz.
06:15 Dropped by Cifuente but it was always rising.
06:37 Squandered.
06:50 To the edge of the box, Rodríguez.
07:14 It's a lovely ball through and it's another chance that slips away from Universidad Católica.
07:34 He's onside.
07:35 He gets a jump on his marker.
07:44 Maradías.
07:45 Cifuente!
07:46 You thought it was the...
07:51 It's offside, Cifuente.
07:54 Gets it in the position he wanted to.
08:07 On the right boot, on the top of the D. Bend it, bend it, bend it and he doesn't.
08:13 Hits it too straight.
08:18 Cifuente.
08:20 Maradías.
08:22 Lovely one-two.
08:26 Díaz!
08:28 Denied.
08:30 Vallecilla.
08:33 Every red shirt behind the ball again.
08:42 Rodríguez.
08:43 In fact, staying down for the moment.
08:44 Now it's up on the far side.
08:45 It's Moore, the wall of red stands firm.
08:51 Four waiting in the central part of the area.
08:53 Guevedo.
08:54 It's not going to happen, is it?
09:01 This was needed to provide that last ditch defending.
09:06 Stays in play.
09:09 Well left on the edge of the area and dragged wide by the substitute Orozco.
09:15 Heart in the mouth moment for Catonica right at the end.
09:17 We're going into the 100th minute here.
09:21 Good legs out there.
09:34 He's not a problem anymore for Betaya.
09:35 Rodríguez, though, might be.
09:37 Rodríguez still going.
09:38 Lovely drop of the shoulder.
09:39 Cifuente.
09:40 Ismael Díaz.
09:41 Denied from close range.
09:43 Maradías.
09:45 Not in a way.
09:49 That's the full-time whistle.
09:50 Universidad Católica about as drab in front of goal as the weather in Quito tonight.
09:56 They had an extra man advantage after 35 minutes when Alfonso Simara was sent off.
10:02 That was leveled up, though, in the sixth minute of 10.
10:05 And that's a wrap for this edition of the Daily Show.
10:06 Thanks for watching.
