There are games and games. Some are key, others are unforgettable, but there is that special category that makes one unique: A classic. And today, within Cuyo, on Puntano soil and from 5:15 p.m., Atlético San Martín will face Godoy Cruz de Mendoza in the 32nd round. final of the Argentine Cup. After five years, they will see each other. With some dust on their spines, the Cuyo duel books reflect a striking fact for many: San Martín prevails in history over Godoy Cruz. Until 2019, when they played the last official match, Verdinegro and Tomba played 45 games between the First Division (12), the old First B National (25), and the Interior tournaments (8). Of those 45 matches, the San Juan team won 17, the Mendoza team won 14, while they tied the remaining 14.
But all these numbers have relative value when the story begins on the playing field. San Martín, now second in its area within the First National, has just tied in Remedios de Escalada and his coach, Pancho Martínez, decided to save his cards and recover the headdresses for the classic against Tomba. Thus, the returns of Santiago López García and Maxi Gutiérrez completely paint the picture that San Martín will go with the best he has at hand to try to get into the 16th round. and cross paths with El Porvenir, who eliminated Lanús.
On the other side will be the good present of Godoy Cruz who is the leader in Zone B of the League Cup and who arrives hurt for having been left out of the group stage of the Libertadores. With very good names like López Muñoz and power in attack like Badaloni, Tomba will not want surprises in San Luis. But of course, the classics with those games that are not just played, are those that are always won and San Martín is more than clear about it.
