Events
Match Events

- 15' Gabriel Arias is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for CA Boca Juniors tonight.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' Carlos Roberto Izquierdoz has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

- 48' The supporters are chanting for Marcelo Weigandt. He replaces Luis Advincula on 48 minute.
- 53' The energy levels are beginning to show. Sebastian Battaglia might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 58' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 77' The referee shows Racing Club player a Yellow card on 77.
- 82' Tomas Chancalay needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
