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.
  • 13' GOAL! Matias Mansilla scores on 13.
  • 18' It looks like no one’s ball. CA Newell\'s Old Boys is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 23' It’s high time Leonardo Madelón made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 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. 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 Rodrigo Herrera suffering a number of foals already.
  • 38' GOAL! Jeronimo Russo scores on 38.
  • 43' Ignacio Ramirez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 3 goals this season.

  • 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 56' It looks surprising CA Union does not make any changes. Martin Ortega has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Newell\'s Old Boys that had 160 games and scored 164 goals.
  • 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.
  • 67' That looks like a foul for a card for Jeronimo Russo.
  • 69' Lautaro Vargas is having his name booked by the referee on 69.
  • 74' CA Union is showing some good football. However, CA Union are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 76' Goal! Ignacio Ramirez scores his 8 goal in 427 matches.
  • 76' Ignacio Ramirez is replacing Franscisco Scarpeccio for the CA Newell's Old Boys side.
  • 78' It’s a booking for CA Newell's Old Boys player. Martin Ortega gets a card.
  • 81' Another change for CA Union made on 81 minute. Mauro Pitton leaves to be changed by Franco Fragapane.
  • 86' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
