In that match, Sarmiento had 46% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. On the other side, Godoy Cruz had 9 shots at goal with 2 of them on target.

A sequence of hard-working showings from the Sarmiento defensive unit has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their past 6 fixtures in total.

That aside, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern might continue on in this game or not.
