Events
Match Events
- 0' And we are off! CA Central Córdoba vs CA Tucuman — let the football do the talking.
- 5' 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 Julian Fernandez suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Argentina international Zahir Mansilla has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 30' Kevin Ortiz is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for CA Tucuman tonight.
- 35' Luis Ingolotti has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 114 appearances.
- 40' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ramiro Ruiz, as he is very good at scoring at Unico Madre de Ciudades with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Central Córdoba that had 142 games and scored 139 goals.
- 52' The referee shows CA Tucuman player a card on 52.
- 57' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both CA Central Córdoba and CA Tucuman are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 62' Thiago Cravero is replacing Horacio Tijanovich for the CA Central Cordoba side.
- 63' CA Tucuman is taking the lead after the goal scored by Leandro Diaz on 63.
- 68' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rodrigo Granillo made 167 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 76' Jose Gomez is ready to make an impact after coming on for Santiago Moyano at the 76 minute mark.

- 81' CA Tucuman make a change. Renzo Tesuri trudges off to be replaced by Gabriel Compagnucci on 81 minutes.
