FT | 4-2 |
It’s over at La Plata. A frantic last half hour. #Newells never gave up but Estudiantes were simply more clinical in front of goal.

90’+2 | 4-2 | Andùjar, who has had a busy game, saves from Sarmiento and the follow-up is wide from Leal.

#ESTNOB
GOAL NEWELL’S 4-2.
LEAL.
#ESTNOB
84’ | 4-1 | Denis Rodriguez with a massive opportunity to pull one back for #Newells. With the goal gaping his sidefooted effort is weak and cleared off the line.
#ESTNOB
81’ | 4-1 | #Newells pushed too many forward for a corner and when Estudiantes defended it well, they broke fast up the pitch leaving #NOB with only a couple of players to defend. It was squared to the unmarkedPavone who slipped the ball into the corner past Ibañez.
#ESTNOB

#ESTNOB
76’ | 3-1 |
Titi Rodriguez, who has been the best player on the pitch, sets up Zuqui who shoots first time from outside the box and straight past Ibañez. A long way back now for Newell’s who were looking good before this.
#ESTNOB
76’ | Goal Estudiantes. Zuqui with a piledriver. 3-1.
#ESTNOB
Llop’s substitutions have made a promising impact. Bernardello has calmed things down in midfield while Torres looks dangerous on the flank.
#Newells #NOB #ESTNOB
70’ | 2-1 | The second half has exploded into life in the last 10 minutes after a quiet opening 15. All to play for now in the final 20.
C’mon #NOB!
#ESTNOB
67’ | 2-1 | GOAL: Sarmiento rockets a shot into the roof of the net from inside the box to pull one back for #Newells. A great response by La Lepra.

#ESTNOB
61’ | 1-0 |
Cascini has a shot from outside the box saved by Ibañez. Players starting to look a little fatigued and the heat is not helping. Bruno Bianchi looking exhausted.
#ESTNOB
51’ | 1-0 |
And now Sarmiento at the other end! His strong and low shot is just about parried by Andújar and trickles past the post and out for a corner. Close for #NOB.
#ESTNOB
50’ | 1-0 |
The substitute Zuqui is set up by Rodriguez but his shot is easily collected by Ibañez. Estudiantes have started the second half well.
#ESTNOB
49’ | 1-0 |
SAVE Ibañez. Bruno Bianchi plays with fire and loses the ball to Melano who is clean through. Nelson rushes out and sweeps it off his feet. Super goalkeeping.
#ESTNOB
47’ | 1-0 |
Substitution for Estudiantes. Zuqui replaces Lattanzio.
#ESTNOB
45’ | 1-0 | Second half underway in La Plata.
#VAMOSNEWELLS
#ESTNOB
Cabrera has been fairly ineffective in the first half so hopefully we’ll see Torres on sooner rather than later.
#Newells #NOB #ESTNOB
HT | 1-0 |
Estudiantes lead at the break in La Plata. Otero (22’) with a penalty after being taken down in the box by Varela.
#Newells have been the stronger side overall but really got off the hook at the end of the first half after two huge Estudiantes misses.
