Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Fairgrounds Stadium as Auckland City FC face off against CA Boca Juniors in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 5' Jerson Lagos is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for CA Boca Juniors so far.
  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Myer Bevan is clearly more than just a goal scorer for CA Boca Juniors.
  • 15' CA Boca Juniors looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Auckland City FC and CA Boca Juniors are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Dae-wook Kim might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 26' The CA Boca Juniors bench stirs into life. Exequiel Zeballos is withdrawn and Kevin Zenon gets his opportunity.
  • 26' Assisted by Alan Velasco with the perfectly-timed delivery and Nathan Garrow makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 31' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luis Advincula made 236 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 36' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 41' It looks surprising Auckland City FC does not make any changes. Edinson Cavani has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 51' international Adam Mitchell has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 52' Christian Gray doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 54' CA Boca Juniors ring the changes. Edinson Cavani has done his job and it is now time for Milton Gimenez to step up.
  • 59' CA Boca Juniors fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 64' Exequiel Zeballos, a Argentina forward, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 68' The whistle greets Dylan Manickum as he departs to be replaced by Haris Zeb.
  • 73' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Marco Pellegrino suffering a number of foals already.
  • 78' CA Boca Juniors is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 83' Another substitution for Auckland City FC to replace Jerson Lagos by Joseph Lee on 83 minute.
