Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Jorge Luis Hirschi. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Racing Club come into this ranked 8 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' Racing Club is showing some good football. However, Racing Club are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Gustavo Costas might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 28' Bruno Zuculini has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alan Forneris on 28 minute.
- 33' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 38' The referee has no hesitation. Lucas Piovi is booked for Estudiantes de La Plata — card on 38.
- 40' Matias Zaracho is having his name booked by the referee on 40.
- 45' Estudiantes de La Plata started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.
- 46' A moment of madness from Adrian Fernandez on 46 minutes earns him a card. Racing Club will be frustrated.
- 51' It is a cagey affair so far. Estudiantes de La Plata in their 4-1-4-1 trying to find a way past Racing Club's compact 4-1-3-2.
- 56' Estudiantes de La Plata ring the changes. Gabriel Neves has done his job and it is now time for Alexis Castro to step up.
- 61' Estudiantes de La Plata have won 216 goals from 198 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 66' Edwuin Cetre adds to his 0 season tally! Estudiantes de La Plata lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
- 71' 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 Zaracho suffering a number of foals already.
- 72' Bruno Zuculini has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 72.
- 77' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Estudiantes de La Plata side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 82' 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.
- 84' Controversy at the stadium! Marco Di Cesare argues furiously but the card stands.
- 89' The Argentina midfielder Santiago Sosa breaks the deadlock on 89 minutes. 1-1!
- 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Tiago Palacios.
- Full Time. Racing Club beats Estudiantes de La Plata
