Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: CA Platense gets underway.
  • 5' 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 Mateo Peresutti suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mateo Mendia made 181 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 20' Argentina international Guido Mainero has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 24' CA Platense is taking the lead after the goal scored by Tomas Fagioli on 24.
  • 29' CA Unión come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 34' Ignacio Vazquez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 24 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 37' Brahian Cuello has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 37.
  • 42' Lucas Ayala, a Argentina defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 45' The referee calls foul for Leonardo Heredia. He receives a card.
  • 47' It’s a booking for CA Union player. Juan Pablo Luduena gets a card.
  • 52' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 57' CA Unión is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 59' The CA Union manager makes a substitution. Emilio Giaccone departs to be replaced by Santino Vera.
  • 63' Mateo Mendia picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 64' Fresh legs for CA Platense! Pablo Ferreira comes on to replace Ivan Gomez.
  • 69' CA Unión have won 167 goals from 168 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 72' Magnificent from Juan Pablo Luduena! That is 1 goals in 168 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 77' Valentin Cerrudo is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for CA Platense tonight.
  • 79' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Cristian Tarragona makes no mistake. 1-2!
  • 79' Bruno Pitton is ready to make an impact after coming on for Valentin Cerrudo at the 79 minute mark.
  • 80' The CA Platense bench stirs into life. Juan Gauto is withdrawn and Bautista Merlini gets his opportunity.
  • 85' Juan Cozzani needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 87' What an equalizer from Bautista Merlini!
  • 90' The CA Platense bench stirs into life. Pablo Ferreira is withdrawn and Felipe Bussio gets his opportunity.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
