- 5' The 27-year-old Francisco Ortega has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' CA Velez Sarsfield started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 20' It’s high time Leonardo Madelón made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 23' GOAL! Lucas Robertone fires home to make it 0-2!

- 33' Francisco Ortega catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 33.
- 36' Luis Abram has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 36.
- 41' 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 Jonathan Bottinelli suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' Emanuel Cecchini gets the nod from CA Union. He replaces Javier Mendez and will look to change the dynamic.
- 51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Javier Mendez, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio 15 de Abril with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

- 71' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ezequiel Bonifacio.
- 74' Goal! Maximiliano Romero scores his 19 goal in 451 matches.
- 75' The deadlock is broken! Maximiliano Romero gets on the scoresheet on 75 minutes.

- 83' The supporters are chanting for Luca Orellano. He replaces Agustin Bouzat on 83 minute.
- 88' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Velez Sarsfield that had 194 games and scored 243 goals.
- 89' Tobias Zarate is ready to make an impact after coming on for Maximiliano Romero at the 89 minute mark.
