In this Copa Argentina match contested between Godoy Cruz AT and San Martin San Juan, there were both statistical and performance elements that provided a tale of two halves.

Godoy Cruz AT home team had overall superior stats and ultimately this translated into a 4-2 victory. They dominated the shot stats, with a total of 20 attempts, 12 on target and 8 off target, compared to San Martin's total of 12 shots, with 7 on target and 5 off target. Godoy Cruz AT also held the upper hand in corner count, 6-3, indicative of their offensive dominance throughout the match.

Godoy Cruz's attacking prowess was also evident in the critical stat of assists, with the home team making three compared to the away team's one. These stats paint a clear picture of the home team’s effective attacking units against San Martin's defensive line which failed to curtail Godoy Cruz's offensive forays.

San Martin proved to be the more indisciplined side as evidenced by the total number of fouls committed. With 12 fouls to their name, compared to Godoy Cruz's 9, the away team showed higher defensive desperation. On the flip side, both teams showed restraint and discipline as evidenced by the lack of red and yellow cards.

Both teams made use of their bench with Godoy Cruz making 3 substitutions and San Martin making two, further reinforcing the idea that this was a tightly contested fixture. Again, it would appear that Godoy Cruz's substitutions were more impactful, given the final scoreline.

In terms of goalkeeper saves, San Martin’s keeper made 8 saves, hinting at a busy day in the post, while the Godoy Cruz goalkeeper made 4 saves. While higher saves often imply a strong defensive game, in this case, it more so indicates the barrage of attacks from Godoy Cruz.

However, it's worth noting that both teams had nearly identical offsides count, with Godoy Cruz caught offside 3 times to San Martin's twice, indicating a similar approach to pushing the line in search of goals.

On balance, the data supports that Godoy Cruz AT's win was warranted - based on their offensive performance, disciplined defense, and effective use of their squad. For San Martin San Juan, the defeat can be attributed to their inability to convert more of their chance and lower possession, as well as higher fouls which interrupted their game flow.
