Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between CA Barracas Central and CA Banfield is underway.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Banfield that had 186 games and scored 157 goals.
- 8' A stunning finish from Tiziano Perrotta — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 13' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kevin Jappert made 118 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 16' The Argentina Nicolas Demartini breaks the deadlock on 16 minutes. 1-1!
- 21' CA Barracas Central are deployed in a 3-4-3 today, looking to exploit space against CA Banfield's 4-4-2 shape.
- 26' CA Barracas Central 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.
- 31' CA Barracas Central are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CA Banfield backline.
- 36' 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 Norberto Briasco suffering a number of foals already.
- 41' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His CA Barracas Central side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 46' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CA Barracas Central needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 56' The home supporters are growing impatient. CA Barracas Central must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 61' CA Banfield is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 66' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with CA Banfield winning 50% of all matches.
- 71' It looks like no one’s ball. CA Barracas Central is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 76' Santiago Esquivel is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for CA Barracas Central tonight.
- 81' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 86' CA Banfield looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Santiago Lopez scoring 1 goals.
- 89' Damian Martinez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 89.
- Game over. The scoreline of 1-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
