Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between CA Boca Juniors and CA Independiente is underway.
  • 5' CA Independiente come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 9' Matias Abaldo adds to his 2 season tally! CA Independiente lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 14' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 19' CA Boca Juniors is showing some good football. However, CA Boca Juniors are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 24' It looks like no one’s ball. CA Boca Juniors is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 29' Argentina international Malcom Braida has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 34' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' A moment of madness from Matias Abaldo on 35 minutes earns him a card. CA Independiente will be frustrated.
  • 40' CA Boca Juniors are deployed in a 4-2-2-2 today, looking to exploit space against CA Independiente's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 45' CA Independiente receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 46' A tactical swap from CA Boca Juniors — Miguel Merentiel on, Angel Romero off on 46 minutes.
  • 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 56' What an equalizer from Milton Gimenez!
  • 61' 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 Nicolas Freire suffering a number of foals already.
  • 66' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Claudio Ubeda will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 68' Alan Velasco makes way for Santiago Ascacibar at the 68 minute mark. A tactical switch from CA Boca Juniors.
  • 69' CA Boca Juniors make a change. Ander Herrera trudges off to be replaced by Exequiel Zeballos on 69 minutes.
  • 74' The CA Boca Juniors bench stirs into life. Camilo Rey Domenech is withdrawn and Milton Delgado gets his opportunity.
  • 76' Poor challenge from Gabriel Avalos. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 81' CA Independiente have won 190 goals from 187 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 83' Facundo Valdez is replacing Maximiliano Gutierrez for the CA Independiente side.
  • 88' Juan Fedorco has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Facundo Zabala. He receives a card.
  • 90' Time for substitution for CA Independiente. Gabriel Avalos is replaced by Felipe Tempone.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
