Godoy Cruz tied 1-1 and took a point from their visit to Atletico Tucuman on the fifth date of the Professional League. El Decano took the lead in the first half with a goal from Ramiro Carrera, but near the end Cristian Chávez equalized for Tomba.
The tie is of no use to any of them in the fight not to be relegated, taking into account that the Tucumanos are just three points above Godoy Cruz in the table of averages (90 to 87). Mendoza’s team is currently in the relegation zone like Patronato and tied in units with Aldosivi.
The goal achieved by Ramiro Carrera, who is going through a great moment and is one of the top scorers in the championship with three goals (two dates ago he scored the others in a 2-1 win over Lanús), took the Dean off the ground six points behind his rival . Those led by Lucas Pusineri were able to increase the score on successive occasions, but there appeared the figure of the best on the pitch, goalkeeper Diego Rodríguez.
The Russian opposed again and again very dangerous actions at the feet of Ignacio Maestro Puch and Ramiro Ruiz Rodríguez and saved Godoy Cruz. This is how the first half was consumed and the second opened, with slightly more spread chances at that moment of the game, until about half an hour later Cristian Chávez, who had entered less than five minutes before, achieved parity for the visitors.
Chávez had been training with Brown, from Adrogué, his exclusivity to whom he was going to return, but at the last moment the offer of Godoy Cruz to return to play in the First Division and today that decision began to pay off.
The final quarter of an hour was back and forth, because the men from Mendoza went for everything, “because the starting objective was to add three”, according to Rodríguez himself at the end of the match, while the people from Tucumán went for what they believed theirs and it was slipping away.
Both had the opportunity to win everything, but Rodríguez prevented Ramiro Carrera from doing so and Martín Ojeda missed it over the crossbar in a one-on-one with the local goalkeeper, Tomás Marchiori.
Finally, Atletico Tucuman y Godoy Cruz they distributed points and the team from Mendoza could not escape from the relegation zone. On the next date, the Tomba will receive Columbus, while the people of Tucumán will visit Vélez.
