Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for CA River Plate to score. At the same time, Arsenal FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' 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.
- 8' Jose Paradela puts CA River Plate on the lead.
- 13' It looks like no one’s ball. Arsenal FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 18' CA River Plate is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 23' Felipe Pena Biafore needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA River Plate that had 182 games and scored 279 goals.
- 33' CA River Plate started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 33.
- 38' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 43' Supporters expect more eagerness from Brian Guzman, as he is very good at scoring at El Monumental with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 48' CA River Plate seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 51' A meaty challenge results in booking for Pablo Solari on 51.
- 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
- 59' Arsenal FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Maximilliano Centurion is hanging Ignacio Gariglio on the field on 59 minute.
- 61' Another substitution for CA River Plate to replace Jose Paradela by Nicolas de la Cruz on 61 minute.
- 64' GOAL! Brian Guzman scores on 64.
- 65' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Felipe Pena Biafore.
- 70' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 75' 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 Enzo Hernan Diaz suffering a number of foals already.
- 76' Time for substitution for Arsenal FC. Braian Rivero is replaced by Franco Vega.
- 81' What a strike from Luis Leal! The score is 1-2.
