Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Claudio Chiqui Tapia. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Ignacio Abraham needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 8' Goal! Tiziano Perrotta scores his 1 goal in 160 matches.
- 13' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 13 minutes.
- 16' GOAL! Nicolas Demartini scores on 16.
- 21' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tomas Porra made 169 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 26' It looks surprising CA Banfield does not make any changes. Norberto Briasco has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 31' CA Barracas Central is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 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 Sergio Vittor suffering a number of foals already.
- 41' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nicolas Meriano, as he is very good at scoring at Claudio Chiqui Tapia with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 46' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Barracas Central that had 90 games and scored 72 goals.
- 51' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 56' CA Banfield looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Santiago Lopez scoring 1 goals.
- 61' The travelling CA Banfield supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 66' It looks like no one’s ball. CA Banfield is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 71' David Zalazar has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 76' CA Banfield started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 76.
- 81' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 86' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 89' CA Barracas Central player sees a card in front of him.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for CA Barracas Central.
