Godoy Cruz does not stop: he beat Newell’s and is now one of the best teams in Argentine soccer

The Tomba knocks you down. Who will stop him, if he sweeps them all away. In some word games, the key to success Godoy Cruz. A team that, at the beginning of the season, was biting its nails just thinking about that ugly fight that today has Huracán, Vélez and other heavyweights leaving everything to avoid going down. Several months in the future, the tombino walk is unbelievable.

Or in red, due to the fury of the local fans who did not approve of the performance of Gabriel Heinze’s team (there were songs and whistles). They will have been more red after Tomás Conechny dribbled past goalkeeper Hoyos and sealed the final 2-0.

With these three points, four dates before everything ends -not counting the LPF Cup playoffs-, Godoy Cruz achieved what few others: add regularly. It is marked by their three wins in a row and the ticket to the Libertadores world that is already looming: Tomba all Barrea.
