San Lorenzo de Almagro suffered a defeat in the derby against Huracán, with a double from Jordy Caicedo. The Ecuadorian transformed into the main protagonist of the Sunday football in the Argentine Clausura tournament by scoring the two goals for the win of Huracán at home against San Lorenzo, in a new edition of the porteño classic.
What happened?
The born-in-Machala scored twice to make the ‘Globo’ break a series of almost 25 years without being able to add three points in its visit to the Nuevo Gasómetro, since the last win in that stadium was on December 9, 2001, by 1-0, thanks to a goal from Emanuel ‘Tito’ Villa.
Why it matters for San Lorenzo de Almagro?
San Lorenzo ended with ten players the match due to a red card from the Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill, who attacked Lucas Blondel with a headbutt in the middle of a brawl between several players. The big controversy of the afternoon was the goal celebration of Jordy Caicedo after his first conquest with the famous ‘Topo Gigio’ by taking his hands to his ears in front of the San Lorenzo fans.
What comes next?
Minutes after the match, the striker decided to lower the tone of the controversy and apologized for his celebration. “I want to apologize for the act I had inside the field. Those who know me well know that this is not my character. It was a moment of euphoria”, explained Caicedo. The same attacker told that Diego Martínez decided to replace him because he already had a yellow card and could be exposed to a new infringement.
Currently, San Lorenzo de Almagro is in fifth place in the Liga Profesional Argentina table, with 24 points in 16 games, and a 7-point difference with the leaders Rosario Central. In the current season, the team has scored 13 goals and has received 11, giving it a +2 goal difference. The next date of the Liga Profesional Argentina will be next weekend, where San Lorenzo de Almagro will face an unknown rival.
