Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Bautista Gargantini. CS Independiente Rivadavia are looking to make home advantage count against CA Union.
- 5' CS Independiente Rivadavia is showing some good football. However, CS Independiente Rivadavia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 8' The referee shows CA Union player a card on 8.
- 13' It is a cagey affair so far. CS Independiente Rivadavia in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past CA Union's compact 4-4-2.
- 18' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 23' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 28' Over 28 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mateo Del Blanco, as he is very good at scoring at Bautista Gargantini with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 34' What composure from Brahian Cuello! The Argentina international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 39' It looks like no one’s ball. CA Union is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 44' CA Union are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 49' Goal! Cristian Tarragona scores his 22 goal in 93 matches.
- 54' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with CA Union winning 100% of all matches.
- 56' It’s a booking for CS Independiente Rivadavia player. Tomas Bottari gets a card.
- 61' CS Independiente Rivadavia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 63' That looks like a foul for a card for Marcelo Estigarribia.
- 68' The energy levels are beginning to show. Alfredo Berti might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 70' Magnificent from Fabrizio Sartori! That is 2 goals in 166 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 75' 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 Fernandez suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' 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.
- 85' CA Union started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 85.
- 90' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for CS Independiente Rivadavia.
