From being close to ending the game, in the second of the only two scoring chances it had, San Lorenzo went on to receive a great goal from Gonzalo Morales in a couple of minutes, with a left-footed volley. The striker from did justice to a match where Unión was the one who sought the most against a rival who dedicated himself in almost the entire development to defend himself. It could even have been won by Tatengue if it hadn’t been for Batalla’s barbaric cover to Zenón’s free kick.
San Lorenzo had taken advantage of the play that Bareiro generated in the PT with that great individual action between several rivals that he crowned with the shot hitting the post. Austere, seasoned and a fighter, the Cyclone clung tooth and nail to that meager advantage. He did it with a very mean posture, withdrawn close to his goal and with a very close defense. He does not play nice nor does he have complexes for it, San Lorenzo. He prefers to give up the ball and ground, wait with a line of five, try to establish rhythm over the spaces. But unlike other games, it suffered several tremors due to arrivals that Unión could not specify due to bad resolutions in the final stitch, shots without sufficient aim or a couple of good interventions by Batalla.
So, the supremacy in the game that Tatengue showed was not reflected on the scoreboard. The homeowner prevailed in the middle zone with possession of the ball. There was a good job by Roldán, the mobility of Luna Diale, the projections of Vera and Zenón and good maneuvers by Domina, author of the clearest play for her team with a shot that Batalla covered. San Lorenzo was Bareiro’s fight at the top, the tactical application with the lines together to close the paths of the rival. A populated defense that waited near their goal was the predominant image left by the Cyclone in the second half, with the posture of dispatching with some counter against a team from Santa Fe launched in attack. In a clear message that pushed his team further, Kily Gonzalez sent Orsini onto the court and took out Paz, a defender.
Unión could not penetrate San Lorenzo, with a very firm Campi or some leg that always appeared to defuse Tatengue’s attempts. The local lacked a break with a dribble in the red zone, he could not send good crosses or have precision in his headers, like those two that Calderón had had in the first half.
Insua’s cast worked to destroy the game that Unión proposed. To resist, to maintain the minimum distance on the scoreboard. He couldn’t keep the ball, he lost it fast in his own half or something or past the half. And the arch in front was very far away. But he had a clear counter that Moyano covered him hand in hand. San Lorenzo finished nervous, with two fewer (Sánchez and Bareiro were sent off in ST) and a very opaque image. He paid for his little ambition.
