Here's a '01 registered with Godoy Cruz's first team from the Argentine first division. Apparently he has not played with the first team yet, but he is recurring with the reserve team. https://us.soccerway.com/players/matias-soria/595089/ http://clubgodoycruz.com.ar/player/mati-soria/ https://www.bodegue.net/2020/05/18/el-lado-b-de-matias-soria/ (spanish)
Dang it dude, that's at least the second time you beat me to a post by finding confirmation in a Spanish article. (I was trying to confirm this yesterday!) Well done.
Good find! Looking at Argentinian professional leagues, if you can call them that at this point, what the hell is going on? Do they even know what competitions they are actually involved with or did they decide to simply let chaos reign supreme. There is a cup tournament or 2, not entirely sure and no real league. No wonder MLS is populated with so many Argentinian talents.
Interview: https://us.marca.com/claro/futbol/argentina/2021/03/22/60590cb046163ffd038b45bb.html "Since I was a child I have talked to my father and my big dream is to save in the national team of my country, the United States. Obviously I am a boy but in the future I will try to work to be able to save in the national team. I have not been in the country much but I always have to the United States present, "said Soria.

I haven't been able to quickly track down much more here, but T'Markt says there's an American '04 at Godoy Cruz named Leandro Soria. https://www.transfermarkt.de/leandro-soria/profil/spieler/941424 So maybe...
Based on this helpful Spanish article about Matias, I think we can safely guess that Leandro was born in the U.S. like his brother. (PressReader is kind of a pain to use but one option is you can print the article to PDF and cut/paste it into a translator from there if you like. There's probably something easier than my hack...) https://www.pressreader.com/argentina/los-andes/20200906/282750589136499
It might be Matias or it might be his brother or it might be both: #LigaMendocina 🏃🏻♂️#IndRivadavia 🆚 @ClubGodoyCruz⏱ 0' ST - 🔁Cambios en Godoy Cruz.➡Molina➡García ➡Gutierre➡Giménez ⬅Velgas⬅Navarro⬅Soria⬅Gómez ⚪2-0🔵⚪#VamosTomba 💪🏻— Club Godoy Cruz (@ClubGodoyCruz) October 15, 2021 #LigaMendocina 🏃🏻♂️#IndRivadavia 🆚 @ClubGodoyCruz⏱ 12' ST - 🔁Cambio en el local.➡Andrada➡Torres⬅Garrasi⬅Soria⚪2-0🔵⚪#VamosTomba 💪🏻— Club Godoy Cruz (@ClubGodoyCruz) October 15, 2021 It also adds to the confusion that the club Twitter account has 2 matches going at about the same time.
Matias is a GK, right? Seems relatively unlikely that he'd be a mid-match sub, though of course it's possible.
The 57th minute sub (12 of ST) came after a red card, so that would likely be a field player. But the halftime sub could have been a GK. I see 6 subs total, so it is a bit odd. The hashtag leads to Liga Mendocina which is a regional league. But a 2nd look makes it seem that the earlier sub was from the opposition "en el local." So it's probably a case of 2 opponents with the same last name. I see another Godoy Cruz sub in the 2nd half, so that would make 5 total.
