Godoy Cruz Tops San Martín in Tight Primera Nacional Opener

GODOY CRUZ, Argentina (Interstat) — Godoy Cruz opened its Primera Nacional season with a 1-0 victory over San Martín de San Juan on Sunday at Estadio Feliciano Gambarte. The lone goal, scored in the second half, was enough to secure the win for the home side. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat that had forecast a 1-1 draw, though its system heavily favored Godoy Cruz. San Martín’s goalkeeper, Facundo Altamira, was issued a yellow card in the 65th minute. The loss gives San Martín an 0-1 record to start the campaign.
