Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. CA Independiente kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Ignacio Piatti has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' Racing Club is showing some good football. However, Racing Club are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 17' A change in the CA Independiente ranks — Lucas Daniel Romero exits the field as Domingo Blanco enters on 17.
- 22' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 27' Leonel Ariel Miranda has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 32' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 37' 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 Juan Pacchini suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Andres Roa on 40 minutes.
- 41' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Andres Roa.
- 46' The CA Independiente bench stirs into life. Lucas Rodriguez is withdrawn and Thomas Ortega gets his opportunity.
- 51' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 56' It looks surprising Racing Club does not make any changes. Juan Manuel Insaurralde has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 59' Leonel Ariel Miranda is having his name booked by the referee on 59.
- 64' The CA Independiente bench stirs into life. Andres Roa is withdrawn and Gaston Togni gets his opportunity.
- 69' A goal from the Argentina international Silvio Romero! He fires home on 69 to make it 1-0!
- 71' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Anibal Moreno.
- 73' Thomas Ortega catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 73.
- 74' The Racing Club manager makes a substitution. Enzo Copetti departs to be replaced by Benjamin Garre.
- 79' Racing Club have won 227 goals from 175 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 81' Matias Rojas is ready to make an impact after coming on for Leonel Ariel Miranda at the 81 minute mark.
- 82' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Domingo Blanco.
- 87' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 90' Racing Club player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 90' Brian Martinez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sebastian Palacios on 90 minute.
- Full Time. CA Independiente beats Racing Club
