On matchday 11 of the Apertura, the Ciclón fell to the Halcón with a score of 5-2, even though Rodrigo Auzmendi netted two goals for San Lorenzo. The local’s goals came from Auzmendi (19’ and 43’ of the second half). Meanwhile, the visitors celebrated goals from Elías Pereyra (1’ of the first half), Juan Manuel Gutiérrez (44’ of the first half), Aarón Molinas (18’ of the second half, penalty), Agustín Hausch (29’ of the second half), and David Barbona (46’ of the second half).
San Lorenzo’s forward Alexis Cuello had a chance to narrow the gap but failed to convert a penalty in the 82nd minute of the match.
Rodrigo Auzmendi was undoubtedly the standout player, earning him the best player of the match title. The striker made his presence felt with two goals, three shots on target, and five successful passes.
Elías Pereyra was also crucial for Defensa y Justicia, contributing significantly to the defense. The defender scored a goal and cleared three dangerous balls during the game.
San Lorenzo’s coach, Damián Ayude, set out a 4-5-1 formation with Orlando Gill in goal; Ezequiel Herrera, Jhohan Romaña, Guzmán Corujo, and Mathías De Ritis in defense; Nicolás Tripichio, Ignacio Perruzzi, Agustín Ladstatter, Luciano Vietto, and Facundo Gulli in the midfield; with Alexis Cuello leading the attack.
In contrast, Mariano Soso’s side adopted a 5-2-3 strategy, featuring Cristopher Fiermarín in goal; Lucas Souto, Emiliano Amor, David Martínez, Damián Fernández, and Elías Pereyra in defense; Santiago Sosa Yung and Aarón Molinas in midfield; and Agustín Hausch, Rubén Botta, and Juan Manuel Gutiérrez up front.
The encounter at Nuevo Gasómetro was officiated by referee Pablo Dóvalo.
Looking ahead, San Lorenzo will travel to face Dep. Riestra, while Defensa y Justicia will host Unión.
