Saint Lawrence showed signs of improvement and defeated Central Rosary by 1 to 0, as a visitor, in a match played tonight in Arroyito for the twenty-second date of the Professional League.
Striker Nahuel Bustos was in charge of scoring the only goal of the night, in a match that had its moments of controversy with the intervention of the VAR and the goal disallowed by Ignacio Malcorra.
In addition, this match marked the return of coach Miguel Angel Russo to the Central field, a team he coached until a few months ago.
The first half was characterized by a stagnant game without many clear finishes, with both teams trying to impose themselves in the midfield. The Central fans were momentarily excited by Malcorra’s goal, who took advantage of a defensive error by San Lorenzo and scored a cross goal to put his team ahead.
However, the joy was short-lived, since referee Andrés Merlos, assisted by the VAR, annulled the goal due to an alleged infraction by Ibarra at the beginning of the play.
Motivated by the annulment of the goal, San Lorenzo managed to improve its performance and finished the first half with more confidence. Central’s defense, led by Broun, had to work hard, especially when the Rosario goalkeeper made a notable save against a shot by Remedi that threatened to open the scoring.
The second half began with less intensity, dominated by tactical fouls and constant friction in the midfield that reduced the pace of the game. Both teams tried to find the advantage, but dangerous plays were few and the game became imprecise, without generating emotions in the areas.
The only great play was that of the “Ciclón” striker, Bustos, who scored a spectacular goal from outside the area, leaving Broun with no chance.
With this victory, San Lorenzo adds three valuable points that allow it to settle in the standings and give its fans a break, while Rosario Central says goodbye to Lequi and awaits the arrival of Ariel Holan to face the next stage in the tournament.
