Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for CA Unión to score. At the same time, CA Talleres does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 10' CA Talleres is showing some good football. However, CA Talleres are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' Marcelo Estigarribia needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 3 Red cards this season.
- 18' The Brazil Rick breaks the deadlock on 18 minutes. 0-1!
- 23' The travelling CA Talleres supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' Poor challenge from Mauro Pitton. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 27' It’s a booking for CA Talleres player. Rick gets a card.
- 29' A moment of madness from Rafael Profini on 29 minutes earns him a card. CA Union will be frustrated.
- 34' Alex Rodriguez is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for CA Talleres so far.
- 39' It’s high time Leonardo Madelón made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 40' A moment of madness from Julian Palacios on 40 minutes earns him a card. CA Union will be frustrated.
- 45' CA Talleres has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 50' CA Unión seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 55' 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 Lautaro Vargas suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' Lautaro Vargas has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 56.
- 61' CA Unión started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
- 66' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 71' Supporters expect more eagerness from Matias Catalan, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio 15 de Abril with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 76' That looks like a foul for a card for Mateo Del Blanco.
- 77' That is a card for CA Talleres. Alex Vigo will be fuming at that decision.
- 82' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 87' CA Talleres is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Matias Galarza on 90.
- 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
