San Lorenzo he left a scant image again, which lost teh minimum in his visit to Argentinos Junior and began to close a year to forget the 2024 Professional League Tournament.
The Cyclone fell in La Paternal.Photobearers
The duel played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium was a great opportunity for both teams to rise, since they had added a point between the two in the last three dates. Last Wednesday the Cyclone won at the Riverfield, with a fantastic victory in another presentation for two teams fighting at the bottom of the championship: they arrived as 23rd and 24th.
And although in the first minute Norberto Batista’s team tried to control the ball and get closer to Chila Gómez, the advantage came on the scoreboard perhaps before it was deserved. At 7 minutes, Roman Vega opened with Santiago Rodríguez, who sent in a cross failed to clear Jhohan Romaña, who deflected the ball to the near post and surprised his goalkeeperovertaking the local teams in unfortunate play.
With the disadvantage on the scoreboard, Miguel Ángel Russo’s team went forward on the pitch, but they collided with their own attacking shortcomings to create danger. Iker Muniain only had a great shot from outside the area, which worried Ruso Rodríguez and company. Little else, in front of Bicho who looked comfortable and tried to come out against him and was even able to make it 2 to 0.
In the complement, San lorenzo took a more offensive position and was close to equalizingmainly in a play that did not end very well in goal: Andrés Vombergar and Muniain did not hit the goal, while Rodríguez and the stick became the heroes of the locals.
Though,even though they had the merit of taking something from La Paternal (in the last one,Bustos went against the post),the Barça team struggled to find the pass in the final meters,and they also suffered in their goal ,where Argentinos could not take. the remaining spaces of the Cyclone.
With this result, Argentinos Juniors reached 29 points, equal to the line of San Lorenzo. Regarding the Annual Table, El Bicho has 55 and is still excited about qualifying for the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, while El Ciclón remained at 45, far from the international cups.
On the final date, Russo’s students will host Tigre (Friday the 13th at 9:15 pm), and Batista’s team will visit Estudiantes in La Plata on the same day, but at seven in the evening.

Time.news Editor: Let’s start with the recent match. San Lorenzo lost to Argentinos Juniors, which seems to underscore a troubling trend for them this season. What are your thoughts on that match?
Dr. Santiago Moreno: Absolutely, it was a disappointing outing for San Lorenzo at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. They came in looking to climb out of a challenging spot, but early mistakes, especially Jhohan Romaña’s unfortunate own goal, set them back.Their struggle to convert possession into perilous opportunities really hurt them throughout the match.

dr. Santiago Moreno: Early goals can be demoralizing, especially for a team like San Lorenzo, which has been struggling with confidence. It forces the team to chase the game from the outset, which can lead to hasty decisions and even more mistakes.

Dr. Santiago Moreno: They need to focus on two main areas: solidifying their defense and improving clinical finishing. Gaining confidence in defensive positioning can reduce early mistakes like we saw against Argentinos.

For fans, supporting their team through difficult times fosters a strong community.
