Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. CA Tucuman get us underway at Estadio Jose Amalfitani.
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. CA Velez Sarsfield and CA Tucuman are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 20' CA Velez Sarsfield are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CA Tucuman backline.
- 25' CA Velez Sarsfield 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.
- 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His CA Velez Sarsfield side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 35' 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 Matias Vargas suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ricardo Zielinsky will be considering his options from the bench.
- 43' Agustin Bouzat adds to his 0 season tally! CA Velez Sarsfield lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
- 46' A change in the CA Tucuman ranks — Mauro Matos exits the field as Javier Toledo enters on 46.
- 51' It looks like no one’s ball. CA Tucuman is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 56' The travelling CA Tucuman supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 61' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CA Velez Sarsfield needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 63' CA Tucuman make a change. David Barbona trudges off to be replaced by Ramiro Carrera on 63 minutes.
- 68' Another substitution for CA Velez Sarsfield to replace Thiago Almada by Joaquin Laso on 68 minute.
- 70' Poor challenge from Agustin Bouzat. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 71' Gervasio Nunez was booked on 71.
- 74' Jose San Roman picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 79' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 82' It is a substitution in CA Velez Sarsfield team. Nicolas Dominguez is replaced by Pablo Galdames on 82 minute.
- 86' Leandro Fernandez makes way for Rodrigo Salinas at the 86 minute mark. A tactical switch from CA Velez Sarsfield.
- 89' That is a Yellow card for CA Velez Sarsfield. Luis Abram will be fuming at that decision.
- 90' Pablo Galdames has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 90 minutes.
- Game over. The scoreline of 2-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
