The recent clash between Godoy Cruz and Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata resulted in a narrow 2-1 victory for the away team. Despite Godoy Cruz displaying significant attacking efforts with double the number of corner kicks compared to their opponents (8 to 4), Gimnasia's early goals proved decisive. Gimnasia's disciplined defense, notwithstanding several yellow cards, effectively absorbed Godoy Cruz's pressure, particularly evident from their repeated use of offsides to break the home team’s attacking rhythm.

Gimnasia started as the stronger side, capitalizing on their opportunities by scoring two quick goals in the first half, with their second goal coming less than three minutes after their first. This quick succession of goals disrupted Godoy Cruz's strategy, forcing them to chase the game. The home team's inability to convert possession and corner advantage into goals was primarily due to Gimnasia's organized defensive blocks and strategic fouling, allowing the away team to maintain their lead until the end.

The physicality of the match was substantial, reflected in the high number of yellow cards, five of which were issued to Gimnasia. However, Godoy Cruz managed to keep their composure, incurring only two yellow cards, which allowed them to maintain a full team on the pitch and pressurize until the final whistle. Despite Godoy Cruz pulling a goal back in the second half, Gimnasia’s disciplined offside trap effectively neutralized further threats, demonstrating tactical acumen that ultimately secured their victory.
