Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! CA Union vs CA Newell\'s Old Boys — let the football do the talking.
  • 4' CA Union is taking the lead after the goal scored by Marcelo Estigarribia on 4.
  • 9' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Fabian Noguera made 198 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 13' GOAL! Matias Mansilla scores on 13.
  • 18' 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 Luca Regiardo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 23' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 28' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 32' It’s a booking for CA Newell's Old Boys player. Luca Regiardo gets a card.
  • 37' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Frank Kudelka will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 38' Jeronimo Russo does the damage! The net is bulging and CA Newell's Old Boys surge ahead!
  • 43' Jeronimo Gomez Mattar is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for CA Union so far.
  • 46' Nicolas Palavecino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Brahian Cuello on 46 minute.
  • 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Union that had 189 games and scored 196 goals.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CA Union needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' CA Newell\'s Old Boys is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 62' The whistle greets Rafael Profini as he departs to be replaced by Lucas Menossi.
  • 65' Fresh legs for CA Newell's Old Boys! Martin Ortega comes on to replace Armando Mendez.
  • 67' Jeronimo Russo is having his name booked by the referee on 67.
  • 69' A meaty challenge results in booking for Lautaro Vargas on 69.
  • 74' It looks surprising CA Newell\'s Old Boys does not make any changes. Ignacio Ramirez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 76' Ignacio Ramirez doubles the advantage! 2-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 76' CA Newell's Old Boys manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ignacio Ramirez is hanging Franscisco Scarpeccio on the field on 76 minute.
  • 78' A moment of madness from Martin Ortega on 78 minutes earns him a card. CA Newell's Old Boys will be frustrated.
  • 81' CA Union ring the changes. Mauro Pitton has done his job and it is now time for Franco Fragapane to step up.
  • 86' A quiet spell here at Estadio 15 de Abril. CA Union seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 87' Goal! Lucas Menossi scores his 12 goal in 143 matches.
