Godoy Cruz added this Sunday night his third consecutive draw since Favio Orsi and Sergio Gómez took charge of the squad, the duo that agreed to the technical direction of a first division team for the first time, this time again 1 to 1 as between week at the Boca stadium, against Lanús, for the 12th, date of Zone 2 of the Professional League Cup.
The Mendocinos were surprised at the start of the game by an unfortunate action by defender Guillermo Ortiz, who at the time of playing just a dozen minutes hit his own goal, putting the mix that coach Jorge Almirón put in the Malvinas Argentinas stadium at an advantage. .
But that did not make a dent in the spirit of those led by the successful duo that once knew how to make Flandria champion and was close to raising Ferro Carril Oeste last season back to the first division.
That is why he went out to look for the tie without despairing but with a lot of fervor and good play, which would have its reward in the 28th minute with the goal of the Uruguayan Salomón Rodríguez, another discovery of the blue and white team, who had just scored against Boca.
But as “a horse that reaches, wants to win”, Godoy Cruz went for more, both in what remained of that first half and throughout the second half until the end.
But then he began to collide again and again with the figure of the match, which was goalkeeper Fernando Monetti, with substantial interventions every time he was required and his goal was about to fall.
Hence the frustration, since although Orsi-Gómez also drew goalless in the debut with Vélez, the concrete thing is that the “Tomba” has a total of five consecutive games drawing and seven in the 12 dates in the contest.
However, his audience was enthusiastic about this new stage of the team and occupied a large part of the bleachers of the Mendocino World Cup stadium, excited by the great previous performance against none other than Boca, who deserved to beat him in the Bombonera.
Now Godoy Cruz will have a very important match next Monday against Central Córdoba, from Santiago del Estero, again at home, both essentially targeting the relegation averages, while Lanús will host Independiente the previous Saturday, for the 13th. date of the Professional League Cup.
