San Lorenzo de Almagro fell 2-0 to Huracán at the Nuevo Gasómetro, a loss that leaves Néstor Gorosito's side without points and with morale bruised. Goal scorer Jordy Caicedo at the end of the first half put the score against the club, which could not respond in the second half.
The game started with Huracán clearly dominating, pressing high and creating early chances. In the 42nd minute, Jordy Caicedo, former striker of the previous classic, received a header from Juan Bisanz and scored the 1-0. The second goal came in the second half after a collective move that left goalkeeper Gill helpless. San Lorenzo tried to bounce back, but Huracán's defense held firm.
This defeat keeps the team in fifth place in the tournament, with 24 points from 16 games (6 wins, 6 draws, 4 losses) and a recent form of DDWWL. With 13 goals scored and 11 conceded, the goal difference is +2, yet the club remains 7 points behind leader Rosario Central. The loss to Huracán highlights defensive frailties and a lack of offensive punch that must be fixed to return to the podium.
The next challenge will be against a direct rival in the table, where every point will be vital to close the gap to the leader. Coach Néstor Gorosito will need to tweak the strategy, perhaps strengthening the midfield and seeking greater attacking aggression. Meanwhile, the board continues to assess market options to reinforce the squad before the transfer window closes.
With the season underway and the title race tightening, the defeat to Huracán shows the need for consistency. If San Lorenzo can improve its performance, it could narrow the 7‑point gap with Rosario Central and resume championship aspirations. The team must turn frustration into motivation for upcoming fixtures.
