Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for CA River Plate to score. At the same time, CA Tucumán does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' CA River Plate are deployed in a 4-1-3-2 today, looking to exploit space against CA Tucumán's 4-2-3-1 shape.
10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both CA River Plate and CA Tucumán are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
15' CA Tucumán 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.
19' The Argentina Renzo Tesuri breaks the deadlock on 19 minutes. 0-1!
24' Lautaro Godoy is a natural midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for CA Tucumán tonight.
29' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CA Tucumán needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
34' CA Tucumán are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Tucumán that had 166 games and scored 169 goals.
42' Leonel Vega has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 42.
47' CA River Plate are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CA Tucumán backline.
52' The energy levels are beginning to show. Eduardo Coudet might look to freshen things up shortly.
53' That is a card for CA Tucuman. Lautaro Godoy will be fuming at that decision.
58' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with CA Tucumán winning 100% of all matches.
63' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both CA River Plate and CA Tucumán are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
68' 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 Anibal Moreno suffering a number of foals already.
73' 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.
78' CA River Plate is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
83' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
88' That looks like a foul for a card for Ray Paez.
90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Marcos Acuna.
Game over. The scoreline of 0-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
