Match overview
The visitors made a bright start at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas and took the lead with a well-worked move in the opening half-hour.

However, Godoy Cruz gradually found their rhythm, improved their passing tempo, and began to pin the visitors back in their own half.
Key moments and goals
- Chaco For Ever strike first: A quick transition and precise finish gave the visitors a deserved lead and set up a tense afternoon for the home side.
- Godoy Cruz equalise: The hosts levelled before the interval with a close-range finish following a sustained spell of pressure, restoring parity and shifting momentum.

What it means
Victory gives Godoy Cruz Antonio Tomba a valuable boost as they push for the upper reaches of Argentina's second division.

With a busy fixture schedule ahead, the win could prove significant for Godoy Cruz, who will now look to carry that resilience into their next Primera Nacional assignment.
