- 5' With 1 assists to his name this season, Rafael Borre is clearly more than just a goal scorer for CA Banfield.
- 10' CA River Plate is showing some good football. However, CA River Plate are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 17' The referee calls foul for Agustin Urzi. He receives a Yellow card.
- 22' 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 Lucas Pratto suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' CA Banfield seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 57' The Argentina Agustin Fontana breaks the deadlock on 57 minutes. 1-0!
- 59' Emanuel Cecchini was booked on 59.
