Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: CA Belgrano gets underway.
  • 5' Marcelo Estigarribia has been relatively quiet despite scoring 17 goals in his last 97 appearances.
  • 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 20' CA Belgrano is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' CA Belgrano 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.
  • 30' CA Belgrano currently sit 5 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 40' It looks like no one’s ball. CA Union is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 45' CA Union have won 159 goals from 162 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 50' CA Belgrano looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Adrian Sanchez scoring 1 goals.
  • 55' CA Union are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 60' Lautaro Vargas has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 65' What composure from Adrian Sanchez! The Argentina international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 68' The referee has no hesitation. Marcelo Estigarribia is booked for CA Union — card on 68.
  • 73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Emiliano Rigoni made 525 appearances and scored 25 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 76' Lucas Menossi is having his name booked by the referee on 76.
  • 81' CA Belgrano are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 86' Franco Fragapane is having his name booked by the referee on 86.
  • 90' CA Union player sees a card in front of him.
  • With this win, CA Belgrano is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
