Match19 Aug 2026

Willian Riquelme sends Godoy Cruz through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Willian Riquelme obliged against Defensores. 3‑2 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Godoy Cruz.

Match19 Aug 2026

Cruel end for Defensores as Godoy Cruz pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Godoy Cruz scored in the 102th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Willian Riquelme scores twice — 8.58

Two goals and a mark of 8.58 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Luciano Pascual

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market24 Aug 2026

Business is business: Matías Ramírez goes

Legia paid $1.1M and Godoy Cruz took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Godoy Cruz

Daniel Barrea was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Lucas Arce falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

Godoy Cruz supporters have found a favourite in Agustín Villalobos

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Agustín Villalobos has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Roberto Ramírez gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Tomás Pozzo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market17 Aug 2026

Al Ain come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Godoy Cruz did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market17 Aug 2026

Business is business: Martín Pino goes

St. Gallen paid $3.8M and Godoy Cruz took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Godoy Cruz

Lucas Arce was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market17 Aug 2026

Legia are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Godoy Cruz will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Godoy Cruz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Andrada is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Juan Andrada gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Luca Martínez Dupuy was the difference for Godoy Cruz

Marked 7.68. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Match15 Aug 2026

Honours even between Godoy Cruz and Defensores Unidos

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market10 Aug 2026

Godoy Cruz say no — this time

The offer from Slavia Prague for Nahuel Ulariaga was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market10 Aug 2026

Daniel Barrea wants more than Godoy Cruz are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Market10 Aug 2026

Godoy Cruz may not be able to give Tomás Pozzo what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Tomás Pozzo wants continental football; whether Godoy Cruz can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Camilo Alessandria stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Camilo Alessandria and Godoy Cruz agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Nahuel Brunet falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

The afternoon belonged to Luca Martínez Dupuy

7.56, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Godoy Cruz had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Brian Orosco

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Natan Navarro runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad3 Aug 2026

8 seasons of Esteban Burgos

269 appearances across 8 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Godoy Cruz know what they have.

Market3 Aug 2026

St. Gallen join the queue for Martín Pino

Add another name to the list: St. Gallen have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Martín Pino. The answer from Godoy Cruz has not changed — yet.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nahuel Ulariaga wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Godoy Cruz hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Market3 Aug 2026

Godoy Cruz may not be able to give Matías Ramírez what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Matías Ramírez wants continental football; whether Godoy Cruz can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Vicente Poggi signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Vicente Poggi commits to Godoy Cruz for another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Vicente Poggi in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Godoy Cruz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
