Godoy Cruz beat Racing Club 2-0 this Sunday, in a match played at the Malvinas Argentinas stadium, in the province of Mendoza, and valid for the second date of the Professional Football League.
The goals of the Mendoza team were scored twice by the Uruguayan striker Salomón Rodríguez, at seven and 25 minutes of the second stage. Both teams have three units.
The match had both teams with little initiative with the ball and, although the visit had a little more, it did not bring danger to the goal defended by Diego “Ruso” Rodriguez, from the past in Independiente.
The “Academy” lacked the player in charge of the creation, as well as the “Tomba”, so there was a dull first half, with many interruptions and without emotions in both areas.
In addition, the two teams did not have many ideas at the time of the generation of the game and were not very creative to try to reach the rival goal throughout the first half.
At 35 minutes, Racing forward Tomás Chancalay was sent off for a foul against Pier Barrios, a situation that did not alter the performance of the match.
In the second half, the locals came out better than their rival with the advantage of having one more player on the field, something that gave them the chance to get a little closer to Gastón Gómez’s goal.
After seven minutes, Salomón Rodríguez opened the scoring with a header, without a mark and after a center by Martín Ojeda from the left, to put his team ahead.
After the goal in favor, the Mendoza team took more confidence and became the owner of the ball against a lackluster Racing and without ideas.
Despite remaining equal in numbers after 18 minutes due to the expulsion of Franco Negri, the “Tomba” was the clear protagonist of the game and the one who had the most dangerous chances in the rival goal.
So it was that at 25 minutes the recently admitted Tomás Allende took out an accurate center for the “charrúa” Rodriguez to score again.
The remaining minutes until the end of the match were lackluster and messy in terms of creation. situation that served the local to keep the three points.
On the next day, Racing will host Vélez Sarsfield, while Godoy Cruz will visit Rosario Central.
