Events

Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — CA River Plate and CA Boca Juniors get this one started.
4' The referee shows CA River Plate player a Yellow card on 4.
9' 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.
14' CA Boca Juniors are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
15' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Leandro Gonzalez Pirez.
20' Ignacio Fernandez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for CA Boca Juniors tonight.
21' The referee has no hesitation. Guillermo Fernandez is booked for CA Boca Juniors — Yellow card on 21.
26' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
31' Lucas Beltran has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
34' It’s a booking for CA River Plate player. Enzo Hernan Diaz gets a Yellow card.
35' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Enzo Hernan Diaz.
40' That is a Yellow card for CA Boca Juniors. Alan Varela will be fuming at that decision.
41' The referee calls foul for Jorge Figal. He receives a Yellow card.
45' The referee shows CA River Plate player a Yellow card on 45.

67' Controversy at the stadium! Milton Casco argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
68' Milton Casco was booked on 68.
73' 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 Franco Armani suffering a number of foals already.
78' Both keepers have barely been tested. CA River Plate and CA Boca Juniors are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
80' It is a substitution in CA River Plate team. Ignacio Fernandez is replaced by Miguel Borja on 80 minute.
85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nicolas de la Cruz made 21 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
86' Robert Rojas is ready to make an impact after coming on for Milton Casco at the 86 minute mark.
87' Esteban Rolon gets the nod from CA Boca Juniors. He replaces Cristian Medina and will look to change the dynamic.

Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
