The Mendoza goals were converted by Martín Ojeda and Salomón Rodríguez, and Facundo Almada established the transitory tie, all in the complement.
Central played better in the first half, had more time with the ball through their midfielders, sides and forwards and generated the clearest arrivals, but lacked forcefulness.
Among those dangerous plays there was a low cross by Montoya from the right, which crossed in front of the goal line, at 8′; and a header from Gamba that Espínola saved, in the upper left corner, at 9′.
Infantino tried at 14′ and Espínola saved the corner and a minute later he tried again from the left and this time it bounced off Ruben.
And the clearest came at 43′ when Vecchio left Ruben alone on the left side of the area, but the striker wanted to puncture it with his left foot and botched the shot.
Godoy Cruz stopped with a 4-1-4-1, with which he had space to play in the middle because Central is a team with the ball and another when he loses it and leaves large spaces between midfielders and defenders, as in his only arrival, at the minute, when Acevedo won in a counterattack from the left and assisted Ojeda, who shot it high, alone in front of Servio.
The complement was another game because Central was imprecise in his attacks and was more exposed to aftershocks, such as at 12′ when Blanco threw it badly into the area as the last man, coming out of a corner, and Elías López threw it long to Ojeda, who defined only above Servio to put “Tomba” ahead.
Central went out to find the equalizer with what he had and achieved it at 19′, in a Vecchio free kick that bounced off the barrier and Ruben put it into the area from the left of the Chilean half and Almada defined with a great header high.
However, Central was given away in midfield. So at 30′ Bullaude put it in for the solitary entrance of Salomón Rodríguez, who defined with a left footed shot, alone in front of the goalkeeper.
Central, who had played better and was superior in the first half but could not define it, suffered a “perfect storm” in the complement because Vecchio ran out of air but did not come out, the midfielders also ran out of legs and Godoy Cruz, who arrived least, hit two replicas and kept his first victory in the tournament.
