Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. CA Velez Sarsfield host CA Newell\'s Old Boys — let the battle begin!
- 5' It looks surprising CA Velez Sarsfield does not make any changes. Luca Regiardo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA Newell\'s Old Boys that had 165 games and scored 170 goals.
- 13' That is a card for CA Newell's Old Boys. Luca Regiardo will be fuming at that decision.
- 18' CA Newell\'s Old Boys has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 23' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 28' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CA Newell\'s Old Boys needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 33' 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 Roberto Joaquin Garcia suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' Walter Mazzantti needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 42' A moment of madness from Facundo Guch on 42 minutes earns him a card. CA Newell's Old Boys will be frustrated.

- 52' CA Newell's Old Boys receives a card for a hard tackle on 52.
- 56' Florian Monzon doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 58' That looks like a foul for a card for Claudio Baeza.
- 60' Magnificent from Ignacio Ramirez! That is 8 goals in 430 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 65' CA Velez Sarsfield are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against CA Newell\'s Old Boys's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 70' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
- 71' The referee shows CA Newell's Old Boys player a card on 71.
- 76' Diego Valdes has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 11 appearances.

- 84' It’s gonna be a card for Jeronimo Russo.
- 89' Manuel Lanzini has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — CA Velez Sarsfield 1-1 CA Newell\'s Old Boys.
