Overview

• Alex Luna headed Instituto in front just before halftime, and Nicolás “Indio” Fernández equalized early in the second half for the hosts.
• Godoy Cruz remains without a victory at the revamped stadium since its midyear reopening, with six home matches yielding three draws, three defeats and only two goals scored.
• Walter Ribonetto deviated from expectations with four changes to his starting XI and then made a triple substitution at the break that included the entry of Pol Fernández.
• Oldrá was applauded throughout his homecoming and later called the week “difícil” as he balanced gratitude toward Godoy Cruz with his role leading Instituto.
• With the point, Instituto moves to 10 points and will host Lanús next Sunday, while Godoy Cruz sits on 8 as pressure builds to convert home fixtures into wins.
