Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — CA Talleres and CA River Plate get this one started.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Michael Santos made 212 appearances and scored 40 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 8' Felipe Pena Biafore was booked on 8.
- 13' Rodrigo Villagra has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 33' Enzo Fernandez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 26 goals in his last 215 appearances.
- 35' Poor challenge from Milton Casco. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 36' The referee shows CA River Plate player a Yellow card on 36.
- 41' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 42' Magnificent from Robert Rojas! That is 6 goals in 215 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 46' The whistle greets Benjamin Rollheiser as he departs to be replaced by Bruno Zuculini.
- 51' Over 51 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 56' The energy levels are beginning to show. Marcelo Gallardo might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 61' Milton Casco has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 63' A change in the CA Talleres ranks — Juan Ignacio Mendez exits the field as Francis Mac Allister enters on 63.

- 80' CA Talleres currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 82' A moment of madness from Enzo Perez on 82 minutes earns him a Yellow card. CA River Plate will be frustrated.
- 85' The CA Talleres manager makes a substitution. Rodrigo Villagra departs to be replaced by Juan Esquivel.
