Godoy Cruz tied 1-1 against Independiente. The first half of Independiente vs. Godoy Cruz was a great match that saw little clear goal opportunities. Independiente had the better of the build up for the plays, making five goal attempts and three shots on target during the first half, which it finished with 62% possession. They also made good use of the support of their more advanced players to put pressure on Godoy Cruz, who despite not having the ball (38%), replied with four goal attempts, two of which were on target. Independent would only notch the score in the second half when in the 61st minute Federico Loyola found the back of the net assisted by Mancuello, putting the hosts ahead. But Godoy Cruz responded quickly and in the 87th minute they leveled with Santiago Rodríguez heading in following Moreyra's assist. It was a big moment for the visiting team, who have been desperately trying to get back into the game to avoid losing away from home. Independiente had the better of the ball overall (56 per cent to Godoy Cruz’s 44), in the number of goal attempts (11 to their opponents’ 10) and in keeping the ball and bringing forwards.
