5' Jeremias Merlo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
10' CA Union started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
15' It looks surprising CA Union does not make any changes. Nicolas Barros Schelotto has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
18' GOAL! Manuel Panaro fires home to make it 0-1!
23' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Fernando Zaniratto will be considering his options from the bench.
24' GOAL! Enzo Martinez scores on 24. Assisted by Nicolas Barros Schelotto
26' Controversy at the stadium! Mauricio Martinez argues furiously but the card stands.

53' Cristian Tarragona doubles the advantage! 1-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
58' 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 Franco Fragapane suffering a number of foals already.
63' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both CA Union and Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
