Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Estadio Jose Amalfitani will turn into a battlefield for CA Velez Sarsfield and CA River Plate.
5' It looks surprising CA Velez Sarsfield does not make any changes. Matias Suarez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lucas Hoyos made 169 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with CA Velez Sarsfield winning 50% of all matches.
20' CA River Plate started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
25' 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.
30' CA River Plate come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
45' Gonzalo Montiel has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
49' CA River Plate is taking the lead after the goal scored by Rafael Borre on 49.
54' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
59' Leandro Fernandez is ready to make an impact after coming on for Rodrigo Salinas at the 59 minute mark.
62' CA River Plate receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 62.
66' Joaquin Laso was booked on 66.
68' Another change for CA River Plate made on 68 minute. Gonzalo Montiel leaves to be changed by Camilo Mayada.
70' Juan Fernando Quintero gets the nod from CA River Plate. He replaces Ignacio Fernandez and will look to change the dynamic.
72' Pablo Galdames was booked on 72.
77' The energy levels are beginning to show. Gabriel Heinze might look to freshen things up shortly.
78' The CA River Plate bench stirs into life. Lucas Pratto is withdrawn and Matias Suarez gets his opportunity.
79' Matias Suarez catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 79.
82' Jhonathan Ramis is ready to make an impact after coming on for Pablo Galdames at the 82 minute mark.
84' Gaston Gimenez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Red card on 84.
86' Juan Fernando Quintero does the damage! The net is bulging and CA River Plate surge ahead!
87' CA Velez Sarsfield ring the changes. Agustin Bouzat has done his job and it is now time for Alvaro Barreal to step up.
90' Magnificent from Alvaro Barreal! That is 28 goals in 169 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
1-2 the final result. CA Velez Sarsfield will be bitterly disappointed.
