Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. CA Independiente kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Santiago Arias has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 8' A moment of madness from Milton Valenzuela on 8 minutes earns him a card. CA Independiente will be frustrated.
- 13' 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.
- 16' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Matias Abaldo makes it 0-1.
- 20' Alexis Cuello picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' Gabriel Avalos is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for CA San Lorenzo de Almagro so far.
- 35' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ezequiel Herrera Gomez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for CA Independiente.
- 39' A meaty challenge results in booking for Manuel Insaurralde on 39.
- 41' Kevin Lomonaco was booked on 41.
- 46' Ivan Marcone has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 51' named a 3-5-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 54' Maximiliano Gutierrez makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and CA Independiente are in front.
- 59' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 64' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His CA San Lorenzo de Almagro side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 69' Both keepers have barely been tested. CA San Lorenzo de Almagro and CA Independiente are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 72' A goal from the Argentina international Ezequiel Herrera Gomez! He fires home on 72 to make it 1-2!
- 77' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 82' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Matias Reali made 196 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 87' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CA San Lorenzo de Almagro needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 90' Sebastian Valdez picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for CA Independiente players.
