Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: CA Independiente gets underway.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gaston Avila, as he is very good at scoring at Gigante de Arroyito with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. CA Rosario Central is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 11' It’s a booking for CA Rosario Central player. Vicente Pizarro gets a card.
- 16' CA Rosario Central is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

- 34' The referee shows CA Independiente player a card on 34.
- 36' Gabriel Avalos puts CA Independiente on the lead.
- 41' 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 Kevin Lomonaco suffering a number of foals already.
