Events
Match Events
- 0' CA Newell\'s Old Boys have kicked off against CA Union. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' CA Union started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Maximiliano Comba is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for CA Union tonight.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 20' Pablo Perez has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 25' Claudio Corvalan needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 30' CA Union have won 159 goals from 162 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 35' 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 Nicolas Blandi suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' Over 40 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 45' Enzo Roldan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 50' CA Newell\'s Old Boys are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CA Union backline.
- 51' Goal! Pablo Perez scores his 7 goal in 175 matches.
- 56' Both keepers have barely been tested. CA Newell\'s Old Boys and CA Union are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 58' Juan Fernando Garro is ready to make an impact after coming on for Roman Bravo at the 58 minute mark.
- 61' Kevin Zenon has so much to prove this time. He replaces Imanol Machuca on 61 minute.
- 64' The CA Newell's Old Boys bench stirs into life. Pablo Perez is withdrawn and Julian Fernandez gets his opportunity.
- 68' Another substitution for CA Union to replace Juan Portillo by Lucas Esquivel on 68 minute.
- 72' Maximiliano Rodriguez gets the nod from CA Newell's Old Boys. He replaces Francisco Gonzalez and will look to change the dynamic.
- 77' It’s high time Gustavo Munua made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 80' A change in the CA Union ranks — Juan Nardoni exits the field as Nicolas Blandi enters on 80.
- 85' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 90' Nicolas Blandi was booked on 90.
