Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. CS Independiente Rivadavia kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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.
- 8' The referee calls foul for Mauro Pitton. He receives a card.
- 13' Cristian Tarragona has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
- 18' It’s high time Leonardo Madelón made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 23' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ezequiel Bonifacio made 163 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marcelo Estigarribia, as he is very good at scoring at Bautista Gargantini with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 33' CA Union is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 34' Brahian Cuello puts CA Union on the lead.
- 39' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CS Independiente Rivadavia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 44' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 49' GOAL! Cristian Tarragona scores on 49.
- 54' 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 Tomas Bottari suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' The referee calls foul for Tomas Bottari. He receives a card.
- 61' CS Independiente Rivadavia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
- 63' The referee calls foul for Marcelo Estigarribia. He receives a card.
- 68' 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.
- 70' GOAL! Fabrizio Sartori scores on 70. Assisted by Gonzalo Rios
- 75' The travelling CA Union supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 80' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 85' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 90' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 90 minutes.
