Godoy Cruz’s athletes didn’t realize they had beaten San Martín de San Juan in the Copa Argentina
The players of Godoy Cruz performed an unusual scene in the first round of Argentine Cup. After drawing 0-0 against Saint Martin of San Juanon the night of Monday 25th, in San Juan, the visiting team prevailed on penalties 4 to 3. However, once the dispute was over, the athletes miscounted the penalties and thought they would continue.
San Martín striker Maximiliano Casa wastes his shot and hits goalkeeper Franco Petroli’s crossbar. That left the team with just three goals on five shots, while Godoy Cruz had only missed one of five. Instead of euphoria, however, the Mendoza players didn’t understand and questioned the referee about the sequence of penalties.
Only after the referee’s positive signal towards the athletes, they went to the guest sector of the Juan Gilberto Funes Provincial Stadium to celebrate with their fans. Godoy Cruz’s doubt also caused uncertainty in the team TyC Sportswho broadcast the match.
