What happened?
The moment of San Lorenzo de Almagro seemed so twisted that, at the start of the second half, Teo Rodríguez Pagano tried to take a center to the penalty spot and hit his teammate Tripichio in the back. It's just a photo, a postcard of all the trouble the Ciclón has been through, which finally found relief with the win against Unión by 1-0, in a 5th round match of the Clausura tournament.
Why it matters for San Lorenzo de Almagro
In the pre-match, it was surprising that the most jeered players were captain Nicolás Tripichio, Alexis Cuello, and one of the recently arrived reinforcements, Emiliano Amor. But for a long time, in San Lorenzo de Almagro, everything is desperation and complaints. In the end, it was all hugs, applause. The cry rose above the heart of Bajo Flores, in the midst of 25,000 people who trembled with passion and anger.
What comes next?
The team under the guidance of Néstor Gorosito accumulates defeats and has only added three points in the start of the tournament. And it was left out of the Copa Argentina. Too many negative circumstances in the pre-match also had their counterpart on the field. As soon as the team entered, the first thing heard was a general jeering: soon came "The Cuervo shirt has to sweat" and the classic "put more eggs, the one who gave birth to it, the bitch". After that, for a moment, everything was encouragement. Something that helped the good functioning of the Ciclón during the first minutes of the match. Although those throats had more: "We want players who feel the heat / Enough of failures and mediocre players / San Lorenzo is a great team and we want to be champions", they thundered.
San Lorenzo de Almagro, which is currently in 15th place in the Liga Profesional Argentina with 3 points, 1 win, 0 draws, and 3 losses in 4 games, with a goal difference of -3 and 7 points behind the leaders Velez Sarsfield, secured a crucial win against Unión, a necessary relief for the team's ongoing struggles. The Ciclón won 1-0 in a match of the 5th round of the Clausura tournament. It was a bit of relief, a bit of prayer, a bit of disappointment; many hurt feelings and, trapped in the managerial disagreements. It was the explosion of all San Lorenzo de Almagro, the perfect synthesis of a necessary win against Unión that serves as a palliative for a wound that doesn't stop bleeding.
