Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Paulo Diaz has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' The travelling CA River Plate supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 12' Julian Aude has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 12.
- 17' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jorge Carrascal.
- 22' CA Lanús are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CA River Plate backline.
- 27' With 0 assists to his name this season, Angel Gonzalez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for CA River Plate.
- 29' Poor challenge from Angel Gonzalez. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 31' What a strike from Bruno Zuculini! The score is 0-1.
- 36' 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 Alexandro Bernabei suffering a number of foals already.
- 41' A goal from the Uruguay international Nicolas de la Cruz! He fires home on 41 to make it 0-2!
- 46' CA River Plate are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 49' Controversy at the stadium! Paulo Diaz argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 51' Magnificent from Nicolas de la Cruz! That is 13 goals in 21 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 54' CA Lanus make a change. Julian Aude trudges off to be replaced by Jorge Morel on 54 minutes.
- 55' The CA Lanus manager makes a substitution. Angel Gonzalez departs to be replaced by Lautaro Acosta.
- 60' 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.
- 62' The CA River Plate manager makes a substitution. Matias Suarez departs to be replaced by Julian Alvarez.
- 66' It is a substitution in CA River Plate team. Jorge Carrascal is replaced by Agustin Palavecino on 66 minute.
- 71' 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.
- 76' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 78' A tactical swap from CA River Plate — Federico Girotti on, Braian Romero off on 78 minutes.
- 78' Alexandro Bernabei was booked on 78.
- 81' The whistle greets Jose Sand as he departs to be replaced by Matias Esquivel.
- 86' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
