Events
Match Events

- 5' A meaty challenge results in booking for Angelo Gabrielli on 5.
- 10' Lucas Licht has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' Cristian Lema needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 31 Yellow cards this season.
- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 22' German Guiffrey is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
- 27' A tactical swap from Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata — Matias Miranda on, Maximiliano Comba off on 27 minutes.
- 32' Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
- 37' Anibal Moreno has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 40' A stunning finish from Leandro Contin — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 45' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 46' A tactical swap from CA Newell's Old Boys — Mauro Formica on, Denis Rodriguez off on 46 minutes.

- 70' Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata ring the changes. Leandro Contin has done his job and it is now time for Claudio Spinelli to step up.
- 73' Poor challenge from Mauro Formica. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
