San Lorenzo de Almagro suffered a 1-0 defeat against Central Córdoba at the Madre de Ciudades stadium, adding their second loss in the Clausura Tournament. The Ferroviario's goal was scored by Michael Santos at the 31st minute of the first half. Despite the result, manager Néstor Gorosito remained confident in the team ahead of the upcoming derby against Huracán.
What happened in the match?
The Cyclone could not overcome Central Córdoba, who secured their first win under Sebastián Domínguez. San Lorenzo, coming off a victory against Gimnasia de Mendoza, showed inconsistencies in their play, especially in the first half. Gorosito pointed out that the team "gave away a half" and made mistakes in passing and loose balls.
Why is it important for San Lorenzo?
The defeat represents a morale blow for the team, which aims to establish itself in the Liga Profesional Argentina. Currently, San Lorenzo is in 5th place in the final 2025 table with 24 points (6W-6D-4L), 7 points behind leaders Rosario Central. The manager believes the team can improve, especially with the addition of reinforcements like Emiliano Amor and Juan Pablo Álvarez.
What's next?
San Lorenzo prepares for the derby against Huracán, a crucial match to regain confidence. Gorosito assured that the team is motivated and that, if they play like in the second half against Central Córdoba, they will have more chances to win. "We have a lot of hope, players are still arriving," said the coach.
