Copa Sudamericana: Godoy Cruz must not slip up against Mineiro in Mendoza | OneFootball

Godoy Cruz, who lost 2-1 in the first leg, will host Atlético Mineiro from 7:00 PM in the return match for the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana

Godoy Cruz will host Atlético Mineiro from Brazil this Thursday with the goal of achieving a result that will allow them to turn around the 2-1 defeat suffered in the first leg and thus advance to the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana.

The match will start at 7:00 PM at the Estadio Feliciano Gambarte, which has a capacity for 21,000 spectators, and can be seen through ESPN and Disney+. The referee will be the Chilean Felipe González, who will be assisted from the VAR by his compatriot Miguel Araos.

Godoy Cruz comes from a 4-2 defeat against River in a true thriller corresponding to the fifth date of the Torneo Clausura of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol, in which they are 14th in Zone B after a very slow start.

The Mendoza team, which is led by Walter "Tino" Ribonetto, finished first with 12 points in Group D, which they shared with Gremio from Brazil, Grau from Peru, and Sportivo Luqueño from Paraguay.

Atlético Mineiro, on the other hand, had a very poor group stage, finishing second behind Cienciano from Peru, and in the playoffs, they struggled a lot to eliminate Atlético Bucaramanga from Colombia on penalties.

The first leg between Godoy Cruz and Atlético Mineiro had started favorably for the Mendoza team thanks to the goal of Santiago Andino, but finally, the Brazilians turned it around through Tomás Cuello and Hulk.
