Godoy Cruz without their top scorer for Colón clash in Mendoza | OneFootball

Godoy Cruz is preparing for an important test this Sunday against Colón, in a direct clash on Matchday 29 of the Primera Nacional. The match will be played from 6 p.m. at the Feliciano Gambarte, with Fernando Echenique as referee, and the Mendoza side will arrive with a major absence in its attacking structure.

Martín Pino, Tomba’s top scorer, will not be available, so Pablo De Muner will have to find an alternative to take his place. The options the coach is considering are Axel Rodríguez and William Riquelme, who appear to be the main candidates to join the home side’s attack.

Godoy Cruz comes into the match after securing an important victory against San Miguel. The Mendoza team won 2-1 away from home, a result that allowed it to remain in the fight for the top spots in Zone A.

A special match because of the former Godoy Cruz players

The clash will also have a particular angle for Colón. El Sabalero has three players in its squad who previously played for Godoy Cruz.

One of them is Federico Rasmussen, who is expected to start this Sunday in Mendoza and will return to the stadium where he once wore the Tomba shirt.

Another is Pier Barrios, although his presence is in doubt due to a muscle issue that could keep him from playing against his former club.

The third player is Federico Lértora, another member of the Sabalero squad with a past at Godoy Cruz.

So, while the Mendoza side must figure out how to replace its main attacking reference, Colón will try to take advantage of the moment to recover from the two consecutive defeats it suffered against Racing de Córdoba and Deportivo Morón.
