Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! CA Rosario Central welcome CA Tucuman for this crunch clash at Gigante de Arroyito.
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' CA Tucuman fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 15' 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.
  • 16' That is a card for CA Tucuman. Nicolas Lamendola will be fuming at that decision.
  • 21' Agustin Sandez was booked on 21.
  • 26' CA Rosario Central are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against CA Tucuman's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 31' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Alejo Veliz makes it 1-0.
  • 36' 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.
  • 38' The Argentina Leandro Diaz breaks the deadlock on 38 minutes. 1-1!
  • 43' That is a card for CA Rosario Central. Guillermo Fernandez will be fuming at that decision.
  • 46' The referee has no hesitation. Franco Ibarra is booked for CA Rosario Central — card on 46.
  • 51' 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 Alexis Soto suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' It looks surprising CA Tucuman does not make any changes. Vicente Pizarro has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 61' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 64' Carlos Quintana is replacing Agustin Sandez for the CA Rosario Central side.
  • 65' CA Rosario Central manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Enzo Copetti is hanging Guillermo Fernandez on the field on 65 minute.

  • 74' CA Rosario Central started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 74.
  • 75' A stunning finish from Alejo Veliz — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 80' CA Rosario Central are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CA Tucuman backline.
  • 84' CA Tucuman ring the changes. Nicolas Lamendola has done his job and it is now time for Alexis Segovia to step up.
  • 85' The whistle greets Alejo Veliz as he departs to be replaced by Federico Navarro.
  • 90' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • The final score is 2-1.
