Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for CA Union to score. At the same time, CA River Plate does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
10' It looks like no one’s ball. CA River Plate is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Leandro Gonzalez Pirez, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio 15 de Abril with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
20' CA River Plate is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
25' It looks surprising CA Union does not make any changes. Santiago Simon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
28' It’s a booking for CA River Plate player. Enzo Diaz gets a card.
33' CA Union 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.
38' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
43' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
46' Another change for CA Union made on 46 minute. Simon Rivero leaves to be changed by Enzo Roldan.
51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Franco Pardo made 97 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
58' Paulo Diaz was booked on 58.
63' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
64' It is a substitution in CA Union team. Bruno Pitton is replaced by Mateo Del Blanco on 64 minute.
69' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CA River Plate needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
74' 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 Joaquin Mosqueira suffering a number of foals already.
75' The CA Union manager makes a substitution. Gonzalo Morales departs to be replaced by Lucas Gamba.
76' It is a substitution in CA River Plate team. Franco Mastantuono is replaced by Manuel Lanzini on 76 minute.
81' 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.
84' The supporters are chanting for Patricio Tanda. He replaces Adrian Balboa on 84 minute.
89' The travelling CA River Plate supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
90' The referee calls foul for Jeronimo Domina. He receives a card.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
