- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 25' Racing Club 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 Boca Juniors is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 35' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 40' Matias Rojas needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 45' Racing Club looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Marcos Rojo scoring 1 goals.
- 48' Marcelo Weigandt is ready to make an impact after coming on for Luis Advincula at the 48 minute mark.
- 53' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Boca Juniors that had 210 games and scored 269 goals.
- 58' The travelling Racing Club supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

- 82' 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 Maximiliano Lovera suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' Racing Club ring the changes. Maximiliano Lovera has done his job and it is now time for Enzo Copetti to step up.
