Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between CA Union and CA River Plate is underway.
- 5' CA Union seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 10' Manuel Lanzini needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 15' 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.
- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.

- 33' It looks like no one’s ball. CA River Plate is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 38' It looks surprising CA Union does not make any changes. Lautaro Vargas has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 43' 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 Enzo Diaz suffering a number of foals already.
