  • 18' Luca Regiardo has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 190 appearances.
  • 23' With 2 assists to his name this season, Walter Mazzantti is clearly more than just a goal scorer for CA Unión.

  • 32' CA Newell's Old Boys player sees a card in front of him.

  • 43' Over 43 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 46' It is a substitution in CA Union team. Brahian Cuello is replaced by Nicolas Palavecino on 46 minute.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-4-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

  • 65' Martin Ortega is ready to make an impact after coming on for Armando Mendez at the 65 minute mark.

  • 69' Lautaro Vargas has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 69.
  • 74' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with CA Newell\'s Old Boys winning 100% of all matches.
