Club América vs Atletico de San Luis - Liga MX - MD8 - EFOOTBALL2024 | PS5 [4K60]

think well hello good afternoon everybody we should be up and away in a few moments with our coverage what I'm sure will be a fascinating game there is an added sense of drama provided by the element actually the rain has once more decided to appear at this most inopportune of moments and it is Heavy Rain it does not dampen the atmosphere the turnout here is good the noise is very good it remains colorful but it could be a problem for the players because the pitch might very quickly turn heavy we'll see as it all plays out over the next couple of hours here well it is quite an atmosphere here in the Mexican Capital that is what greets us whenever the nation's most decorated Club is playing here according to what we've been told this is how it looks it's a 433 well a system promoted by the rise of Total Football Peter The Wider players in the front three are are key operators in how it all works on and off the ball they have to provide for the central striker of course and protect their fullbacks so they'll get few breathers if these two don't make a good impression there are quite good replac on the bench [Applause] so it's away we go then it's run loose here he's beaten the last man it's Lis Suarez oh terrific save from The Keeper really look sharp there didn't he that's very well played that has been knocked clear Ball's gone out of [Applause] play balls out once [Applause] more cleared [Applause] away well Peter I'm looking forward to seeing a player who has brought some new skills to the game Ronaldinho he looks one way and passes the other unconventional and cheeky but always always an enjoyable watch yeah he's playing Beach football on the grandest stage of all the Entertainer he steps in and that's the end of that D rosun dos Santos club America finding their passes I wonder what you've seen Jim Over the early moments of the the game well both sides seem happy with the patient approach for now still trying to have a good look at one [Applause] another Alvaro falo Shin to Shin bicep to bicep and he wins out well that defending is unapologetically persistent it's almost personal and it had to be look the only way of becoming more aware Peter is by in your head and realizing who's where around you great challenge time to Perfection and that's been intercepted and the ball's gone astray now it's Messi so we're still where we started right now [Applause] dos [Applause] Santos Alvaro Fidalgo looking wide over to the left and that's gone behind for a goal kick Xiao Canelo that's headed up field now it's Neymar well that looks a cracking ball now it's shvy pinches it off [Applause] him dos Santos Alvaro Fidalgo well that had the makings of something quite promising but it's fizzled out into nothing he's got [Applause] away and here's Messi defending of the desperate [Applause] variety spread out to the left Alvaro Fidalgo d rosun can he get away here there they go hunting in tax back into the middle Alvaro [Applause] falo and it's dos Santos the ball is bounced loose now out to the left it goes he's got plenty of space out wide here he's shifting through the gears here and that's a Cy finish it's come back out now that is commitment to the cause [Applause] and it's been taken short Messi there's the [Applause] delivery and now a sudden chance to counter no no way [Applause] through and he's managed to get free expertly cut out really nicely done [Applause] dos Santos D [Applause] rosun well seen saw that coming and there's the end of the first half but it has been a half largely of could havs and should haves perhaps the more impatient amongst the supporters will feel they overdue a goal but it's certainly not for the want of tail [Applause] wiggle here we go again then a titled game so far can that change now and they've switched it over to the other side D rosun oh lovely bit of skill takes aim and crosses and he knocks it clear well he got rid because he was under pressure that'll be a throw in Alvaro Fidalgo couldn't squeeze it through and it's Ronaldinho and that interception was most necessary dos Santos y Mal and the counter is on he's picked his way through now it's Messi there's a beautiful Simplicity about this contest willing running on one side dogged defense on the [Applause] other he won't be happy with that one and he's being shifted off it and no that was never going to make it chance here to counter best part of an hour and still no breakthrough from either side nicely spread final ball not quite right and his teammates are irritated at that no breakr and well into the second period it is still anyone's game well that is one way to stop him going great feet [Applause] there oh it's played into the area shvy played out to the Left Flank to Canelo Ronaldinho neither of these two want to come off second best and the assistant referee rightly gives him offside time then for the first substitution of the game well Peter I don't think there's anything tactical or injury related here I think it's just all about the push for a goal now and back to the goalkeeper [Applause] [Applause] that has been slung wide he's had a fair tumble under that challenge oh he's try to skip past this man oh good read oh sweet feet chooses to go [Applause] back shaby they've got to be quick moving this forward Jamal is wide and looking to get onto this oh well played well played don't you just love the level of intensity here neither is Lis Suarez they would to be quick to recover this [Applause] D [Applause] rosun distributed tidily oh nicely intercepted Ronaldinho will not want to lose out here not against this opponent can he put it away and that is doing no har call okay it's come to nothing but it's a warning of further threat on the break gamb so time for changes on both sides actually [Applause] Petri Albert fer and it's played in here I think that's offside yes it [Applause] is both sides then taking this chance to turn to their benches well his stamina was called into question then but there's absolutely nothing wrong with his heart and and the efforts he put in he was very willing though not quite able he's going to be disappointed with that oh that's fabulous aimed beyond the defense and the flag has stayed down you wonder if that's it now but there may be one more opportunity Peter for a late late steal here [Applause] and it's dos Santos look there has to be more urg that's a foul simple decision for the referee [Applause] into stoppage time and it is still nil nil and time is up so a tough one to gauge defensive dominance combined with wastefulness in attack and the outcome inevitable your final thoughts Jim well neither side could get over the line here perhaps one team might be happier but at the final Reckoning it's honors even and no complaints just remains for me to thank Jim beglin for joining us and to wish you a very good day
