Godoy Cruz U20 Come from Behind to Beat Deportivo Riestra U20 2-1

In a thrilling comeback, Godoy Cruz U20 overturned a one-goal deficit to defeat Deportivo Riestra U20 2-1 on July 4, 2026. The Argentine Youth League match, which started at 20:10, showcased resilience and attacking flair from the visitors.

First Half Drama

Deportivo Riestra U20 took an early lead in the 12th minute when a defensive mix-up allowed their striker to tap in from a corner. The home side then defended deep, hoping to protect their advantage. However, Godoy Cruz gradually grew into the game, creating several chances before halftime.

Second Half Comeback

The visitors equalized just after the hour mark, as a swift combination play down the right flank ended with a low cross being turned home by the Godoy Cruz forward. The momentum shifted decisively, and in the 78th minute, a speculative long-range effort from outside the box took a deflection and nestled into the far corner, giving the goalkeeper no chance.

Deportivo Riestra pushed for a late equalizer but lacked the cutting edge in the final third. The win lifts Godoy Cruz U20 up the table, while Riestra remains in the lower half.
