Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against CA Independiente and CA Vélez Sarsfield has kicked off!
- 5' Nicolas Dominguez, a Argentina , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 8' Against the run of play, Leandro Fernandez has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 13' Pablo Hernandez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 13.
- 18' Matias Vargas has been relatively quiet despite scoring 12 goals in his last 195 appearances.
- 23' 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.
- 28' CA Vélez Sarsfield looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Thiago Aguirre scoring 1 goals.
- 29' Hernan De La Fuente is having his name booked by the referee on 29.
- 34' 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 Pablo Hernandez suffering a number of foals already.
- 39' The travelling CA Vélez Sarsfield supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' The referee has no hesitation. Pablo Perez is booked for CA Independiente — Yellow card on 40.

- 46' A tactical swap from CA Independiente — Fernando Gaibor on, Gaston Silva off on 46 minutes.
- 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ariel Holan will be considering his options from the bench.
- 56' What an equalizer from Silvio Romero!
- 56' Martin Benitez is replacing Francisco Pizzini for the CA Independiente side.
- 61' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His CA Independiente side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 66' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 71' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 76' CA Independiente started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 76.
- 81' The supporters are chanting for Thiago Almada. He replaces Matias Vargas on 81 minute.
- 84' Against the run of play, Pablo Perez has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 87' The CA Independiente manager makes a substitution. Silvio Romero departs to be replaced by Mauro Molina.
