- 10' Jonathan Bottinelli is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for CA Unión tonight.

- 47' 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 Damian Martinez suffering a number of foals already.
