With Colón 2 behind: VIDEO Morón drew 2-2 with Tomba, stayed top | OneFootball

Godoy Cruz switched off and drew with leaders Deportivo Morón, who now have 22 points compared to Sabalero’s 20.

Tomba were winning at home, but came out asleep in the second half and it all ended 2-2 against Gallito. Godoy Cruz have now gone four straight matches without a win, keep wasting opportunities, and are falling behind in the title race.

As a result, Mariano Toedtli’s team continue to drift away from the fight, sitting sixth on 16 points, five behind Gallito, who remain top, and clinging to a Reducido playoff spot by just a one-point margin. The only positive for Bodeguero was that, after three straight matches without scoring, they found the net twice today.

Godoy Cruz had their first warning after 5 minutes. Following a corner from the right, Axel Rodríguez got in front at the near post and met it with a header that the visiting goalkeeper dealt with well.

Tomba kept pushing and got their reward four minutes later. After a cross from the right, Martín Pino appeared at the far post, headed it down, and Rodríguez only had to tap it in to make it 1-0.

In the 33rd minute, the referee awarded a penalty to Deportivo Morón for a questionable foul on Juan Manuel Olivares, prompting protests from both sides: Godoy Cruz felt there was no foul at all, while Gallito complained because Gonzalo Berterame scored with a right-footed strike immediately afterward, but the referee did not play advantage.

Uruguayan Franco Fagúndez took the spot kick and equalized in the 36th minute with a powerful right-footed shot.

Godoy Cruz responded immediately, as just one minute after Gallito’s equalizer they found a second goal to go into halftime ahead. Tomás Pozzo pressed high on the left, won the ball and burst down that side before sending a precise cross into the box, where Martín Pino only had to tap it in to make it 2-1.

Morón equalized almost as soon as the second half began. Just a minute in, Fagúndez found the ball around the penalty spot, controlled it, and scored with a low right-footed shot across goal to make it 2-2.

Tomba could not find a way to score the winner and, throwing men forward and leaving space at the back, could even have lost it on the counterattacks that Gallito wasted.

Godoy Cruz let slip a win that would have been crucial and still cannot turn things around. In the next round, Tomba will once again play at home, this time against Racing de Córdoba.
