In a very nice game played in Mendoza River and Godoy Cruz drew 1-1, each scoring a goal at the beginning of each half. Rosales for River after 3′ in the first half and Rojas for Godoy Cruz after only 2′ of play in the second.
The result was not what River or Godoy Cruz expected as both had chances to win in an openly played match. Crossbars, Goalkeepers and bad luck were important issues for the result ending up with this draw.
Ariel Ortega made his comeback for River, he was having personal trouble, replacing Marcelo Gallardo who got injured in the first half.
The game saw Matias Almeyda, River veteran player, take a straight shot of anaesthetics whe he misplaced his shoulder just outside the pitch. He could continue playing.
Not a great result for either one but indeed a very attractive spectacle for the fans.
