47' CA Tucumán are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
52' It is a cagey affair so far. CA River Plate in their 4-1-3-2 trying to find a way past CA Tucumán's compact 4-2-3-1.
53' Poor challenge from Lautaro Godoy. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.

63' 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.
