- 30' 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 Lucas Esquivel suffering a number of foals already.

- 51' CA Newell's Old Boys is taking the lead after the goal scored by Pablo Perez on 51.
- 56' 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.
- 58' It is a substitution in CA Newell's Old Boys team. Roman Bravo is replaced by Juan Fernando Garro on 58 minute.
- 61' CA Union manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kevin Zenon is hanging Imanol Machuca on the field on 61 minute.
- 64' Another substitution for CA Newell's Old Boys to replace Pablo Perez by Julian Fernandez on 64 minute.
- 68' Lucas Esquivel has so much to prove this time. He replaces Juan Portillo on 68 minute.
