Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — CA Union and CA River Plate get this one started.
5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
10' CA Union currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
15' named a 5-3-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-3-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
25' CA Union have won 167 goals from 169 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
28' That looks like a foul for a card for Enzo Diaz.
33' Matias Kranevitter is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for CA River Plate tonight.
38' CA River Plate are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
43' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
46' CA Union ring the changes. Simon Rivero has done his job and it is now time for Enzo Roldan to step up.
51' With 0 assists to his name this season, Enzo Diaz is clearly more than just a goal scorer for CA Union.
56' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
58' Paulo Diaz was booked on 58.
63' CA Union are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CA River Plate backline.
64' The supporters are chanting for Mateo Del Blanco. He replaces Bruno Pitton on 64 minute.
69' 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 Miguel Borja suffering a number of foals already.
74' CA Union started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 74.
75' CA Union ring the changes. Gonzalo Morales has done his job and it is now time for Lucas Gamba to step up.
76' The CA River Plate bench stirs into life. Franco Mastantuono is withdrawn and Manuel Lanzini gets his opportunity.
81' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
84' The crowd applauds Adrian Balboa as he leaves the pitch. Patricio Tanda steps in for CA Union.
89' The travelling CA River Plate supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Jeronimo Domina on 90 minutes.
will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
