Matías Emanuel Godoy (born 10 January 2002) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Central Córdoba SdE, on loan from Estudiantes de La Plata.[3]

Club career[edit]

Early years[edit]

Godoy's career began with Club Central Argentino Olímpico, before he was signed by Atlético de Rafaela in 2011.[1]

Atlético de Rafaela[edit]

He was moved in their senior squad in April 2018 at the age of sixteen, subsequently being selected for his professional debut by interim manager Víctor Bottaniz [es] on 16 April during a home defeat to Quilmes in Primera B Nacional; he was substituted on in place of Jorge Velázquez with twenty-two minutes remaining.[3][4][5] Godoy netted his first goal in April 2019 against Independiente Rivadavia.[6]

Dinamo Zagreb loan[edit]

On 12 February 2020, Godoy joined Prva HNL club Dinamo Zagreb on loan.[7] He never appeared competitively for their first-team, instead featuring for their reserve team in the second tier.[3] Godoy made appearances against Orijent 1919, Hrvatski Dragovoljac and Sesvete–all off the bench–before the season's early end due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

Argentinos Juniors[edit]

In September 2020, Godoy completed a six-month loan move to Argentine Primera División side Argentinos Juniors with a purchase option.[8] He was later bought free from Rafaela in the beginning of 2021. On 19 August 2021, Godoy was loaned out to Primera Nacional club Instituto until the end of the year.[9] In February 2022, he joined Talleres de Córdoba on a one-year loan deal.[10]

Estudiantes de La Plata[edit]

On 26 December 2022, Godoy was transferred to Estudiantes de La Plata in exchange for $700,000 for 50% of his contract, Argentinos Juniors kept the other 50% of his contract in the case of a future sale. Godoy debuted with Estudiantes on 28 January 2023, against Club Atlético Tigre in a 2–1 loss in which he played all 90 minutes. His first goal with Estudiantes was in the 9th minute of Matchday 2 against Arsenal de Sarandí on 4 February 2023, which ended in a 1–1 tie.

International career[edit]

Godoy represented Argentina's U15s at the 2017 South American Championship, scoring four goals as Argentina won the tournament.[1][11] In 2018, Godoy was called up to the Argentina U17s for a tournament in Mexico City with Chile, Mexico and the United States.[12][13] He featured for sixty-eight minutes and scored the opening goal of a 2–1 victory over the United States on 4 October.[3] Godoy made Pablo Aimar's squad in March 2019 for the South American U-17 Championship in Peru, before being selected by Diego Placente for the 2019 Granatkin Memorial months later.[14][15] He'd play five times and score once, versus Iran, as they won the cup.[16]

In October 2019, Godoy was called up for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil.[17] He scored on his second tournament appearance against Cameroon at the Estádio Kléber Andrade on 31 October.[3]
