Events

Match Events

0' The ball is rolling at Estadio 15 de Abril. CA Union are looking to make home advantage count against Instituto AC Cordoba.
5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ignacio Malcorra made 189 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
10' Lucas Menossi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for CA Union so far.
13' Leonel Mosevich does the damage! The net is bulging and Instituto AC Cordoba surge ahead!
18' 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.
23' CA Union looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Brahian Cuello scoring 1 goals.
25' Against the run of play, Brahian Cuello has scored! This game has turned on its head.
28' Controversy at the stadium! Emilio Giaccone argues furiously but the card stands.
33' Instituto AC Cordoba come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
37' The referee shows Instituto AC Cordoba player a card on 37.
42' Giuliano Cerato is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for CA Union tonight.

74' GOAL! Misael Aguirre scores on 74. Assisted by Lucas Menossi
79' 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 Galvan suffering a number of foals already.
83' A meaty challenge results in booking for Alex Luna on 83.
87' Magnificent from Hernan De La Fuente! That is 4 goals in 190 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
