Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. CA Newell\'s Old Boys kicks off things out of here…
- 4' Marcelo Estigarribia puts CA Union on the lead.
- 9' 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.

- 28' CA Union started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 28.
- 32' Luca Regiardo was booked on 32.
- 37' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 62' The whistle greets Rafael Profini as he departs to be replaced by Lucas Menossi.
- 65' Time for substitution for CA Newell's Old Boys. Armando Mendez is replaced by Martin Ortega.
