Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and CA Boca Juniors launch into their encounter with CA Union.
  • 5' Alan Velasco has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 4 goals to his name this season.
  • 7' Poor challenge from Facundo Herrera. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 11' Controversy at the stadium! Facundo Herrera argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 16' Supporters expect more eagerness from Lucas Ayala, as he is very good at scoring at La Bombonera with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 17' The referee calls foul for Leandro Paredes. He receives a card.
  • 21' Controversy at the stadium! Joaquin Mosqueira argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 22' The deadlock is broken! Lautaro Di Lollo gets on the scoresheet on 22 minutes.
  • 27' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 32' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CA Union needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 37' CA Boca Juniors looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Leonel Flores scoring 2 goals.
  • 39' Cristian Tarragona is having his name booked by the referee on 39.
  • 44' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 45' A moment of madness from Ignacio Malcorra on 45 minutes earns him a card. CA Union will be frustrated.
  • 46' Another change for CA Union made on 46 minute. Joaquin Mosqueira leaves to be changed by Lucas Menossi.
  • 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 56' CA Union have won 196 goals from 190 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 60' Enner Valencia is replacing Miguel Merentiel for the CA Boca Juniors side.
  • 61' Another change for CA Boca Juniors made on 61 minute. Sebastian Villa leaves to be changed by Carlos Palacios.

  • 66' It’s a booking for CA Union player. Lucas Ayala gets a card.
  • 71' 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 Ignacio Malcorra suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Mauro Luna Diale on 72 minutes.
  • 73' Erik Ramirez gets the nod from CA Union. He replaces Julian Palacios and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 78' It looks surprising CA Union does not make any changes. Leandro Paredes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 83' Against the run of play, Leonel Flores has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 84' Fresh legs for CA Boca Juniors! Angel Romero comes on to replace Santiago Ascacibar.
  • 86' William Alarcon has so much to prove this time. He replaces Leandro Paredes on 86 minute.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
