15' The 26-year-old Mauro Valiente has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

40' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Marcelo Torres makes no mistake. 1-0!
45' 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.
50' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata and Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
