Independent tied 1 to 1 with Godoy Cruz of Mendoza, as a venue for the nineteenth date of the Professional Leaguein Avellaneda, and lost the opportunity to stay within the positions for the Copa Sudamericana.
At 16 minutes into the second half, Felipe Loyola made it 1-0 for Independiente, but Uruguayan Salomón Rodríguez tied the game at 42 minutes.
In the first stage Independiente started better, with more presence in the midfield and on the opponent’s court, but without being able to bother and be dangerous near Godoy Cruz’s goal, with just a header from Gabriel Ávalos that Franco Petroli covered well.
Little by little, Godoy Cruz gained ground and made Rodrigo Rey work harder than necessary, who had to deflect two balls that were going towards the goal: one he left short and he was able to contain it for two times and the other was saved by the stick from getting into his own fence.
But at 16 minutes, with a great corner kick from Federico Mancuello, the Chilean Loyola connected with his head almost in the six-yard box to make it 1-0 in favor of Independiente, who was better in the game and was dominant.
However, Independiente gave a lot of ground to Godoy Cruz and he put together well, found the spaces and after a perfect cross from Gastón Moreyra, the Uruguayan Rodríguez managed to tie the match with a header, before a weak response from Rey, for the 1st 1.
