- 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Juan Manuel Azconzabal will be considering his options from the bench.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. CA Independiente is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' With 0 assists to his name this season, Imanol Machuca is clearly more than just a goal scorer for CA Unión.

- 68' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 73' Brian Martinez makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and CA Independiente are in front.
- 74' Controversy at the stadium! Enzo Roldan argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
