With two fewer players, San Lorenzo saved its unbeaten record by drawing 1-1 this Monday with Unión in Santa Fe, at the close of the third date of the League Cup.
In the first stage, Adam Bareiro scored for Rubén Insúa’s team, but Gonzalo Morales matched him in the second half; both teams were left with 7 units in Group 2.
The start found the team led by “Kily” González squeezing their rival every time they did not have the ball, with Roldán loose, the good dribbling of Zenón and a great recovery job from the boy Dómina, who went down to midfield to give them a hand to the flyers in the pressure.
On their side, San Lorenzo could not prosper in the rival field, because they had Maroni contained and ecstatic, and that made the forwards remain quite isolated up top. And despite the fact that Tatengue seemed better planted on the field, it did not threaten the sure Batalla, who barely set off alerts with a shot from captain Corvalán’s run that went wide.
And in a somewhat dirty move, which in fact constituted the only arrival of the Cyclone, the opening arrived. After a foul on Vera in midfield, a Barça counter continued with Maroni’s bitten shot, the ball was controlled by the Paraguayan Bareiro, who even surrounded by defenders managed to turn to take a right hand and send it inside. Despite the protests of the people of Santa Fe, San Lorenzo went on to win.
Before the break, Dómina put together a tremendous stack inside the area, but her shot was deflected by Hernández to the corner.
Back from the locker room, Unión sought to tie up with more tenacity than ideas, although they repeatedly collided with the solid last Barça line. The “Kily” González burned the ships and decided to enter the rookie Orsini, a striker who recently passed through Boca.
It was so that Morales -in the only clear one he had- signaled the tie. The insistence of Santa Fe was rewarded. Immediately came the expulsion of the Colombian Carlos Sánchez and a shot from Zenón’s angle that Batalla cleared brilliantly. With the red card for Bareiro at the end, San Lorenzo was left with nine players and a valuable point.
