Godoy Cruz’s screws came loose when he needed to adjust them well. He took to the overseas stage with the certainty that a win could leave him alongside Argentina as one of the tournament’s escorts. But it got complicated on its own. And he paid for it. At the time he needed to recover to reach the tie, he suffered the expulsion of Guillermo Ortiz and played almost the entire second half with a low. Still, with no downside, he had some opportunities on the brown side.
Tatengue also paid him a price for the obvious opportunities he wasted incredibly; He should have defeated him because there was more dimension on the scoreboard. After missing several goals, Union eventually destroyed him with a shoutout from Zenon, but not before receiving a waiver from Mendoza’s team. Tate left the opponent with an empty pocket. He passed it on the table, he caught up in the fight (he was four behind leader Atlético Tucumán) and got into the South American 2023 zone. El Tomba, who left that area, also lost their streak of six games without a fall.
Munna could not understand how his coach missed one goal after another, scored by the opposition, who defended a visiting team that was too open to parity. The union allowed Mendocino to remain in the game even with 10.
When it was 11 vs 11, they both moved on. No speculation. As he re-captured the ball, his eyes remained upwards. And they moved with intensity. With the intention of good handling of the ball and dynamics. in pure rhythm. Union and Godoy Cruz were very similar in their generosity in the pursuit of someone else’s bow.
Ambitious, he shaped a recreational development with a vertical game, offensive on the sides and a change of pace. Machuka, in addition to his target, unbalanced with explosion and skill, and Castrillon did the same to the left. The problem was that this acceleration sometimes resulted in a rush in or near the area. And it took away fairness in the trigger zone.
Godoy Cruz had chances to score. In fact, Mele took out some really tough balls. But this time Ojeda didn’t shine, the Balloud was lacking in spice and Allende wasn’t accurate in a couple of outside shots. With a discount came with pride, at the end of a great game. It was not enough for him and he missed the chance to get close to the top.
