Godoy Cruz off to a winning start as Estudiantes let lead slip against Arsenal

Mauro Obolo, Godoy Cruz’s match winner against Argentinos Juniors

The Torneo Inicial is underway and it will be Martin Palermo’s Godoy Cruz who will be most satisfied by their result. In the earlier kickoff in Mendoza, Godoy Cruz ran out 3-1 winners over Argentinos Juniors. Striker Mauro Obolo’s second half brace earned them the victory and despite being only the first game of the season could be significant in the relegation battle. Caruso Lombardi’s side look like they will once again be right in the thick of it. Later, in Sarandi, Arsenal hosted the return of Juan Veron and his Estudiantes side. Some debatable refereeing decisions will be the talking points but in the end the draw was probably a fair result. Duvan Zapata put Estudiantes ahead early on and it wasn’t until the 90th minute that Arsenal were able to draw level, courtesy of Julio Furch’s converted penalty. SEE THE GOALS HERE….
