The clash between San Lorenzo and Gimnasia concluded without goals at the Estadio Nuevo Gasómetro during matchday 2 of the Clausura tournament.
In a thrilling moment, Matías Reali came close to breaking the deadlock with a powerful shot in the 83rd minute, only to see the ball hit the post, denying his team the lead.
