  • 49' Goal! Cristian Tarragona scores his 19 goal in 93 matches.
  • 54' It looks surprising CS Independiente Rivadavia does not make any changes. Ezequiel Bonifacio has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 56' Tomas Bottari picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

  • 85' 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 Julian Palacios suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' A quiet spell here at Bautista Gargantini. CS Independiente Rivadavia seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • The final score is 1-2.
