The only goal of the game was scored by Cristian Tarragona in the 12th minute of the initial period.
San Lorenzo, meanwhile, played more than one time with 10 men due to Yeison Gordillo being sent off at 40m of the first stage. This action conditioned the possibilities of Pedro Troglio’s team, DT who received an emotional tribute from the leadership and fans of Gimnasia, a club with which he has a strong identification.
On the other bank, the local one, was Néstor Gorosito, curiously closely linked to the history of San Lorenzo.
With this result, the “Lobo” from La Plata reached four points (it had debuted with a goalless draw with Racing Club at the Cilindro de Avellaneda) and San Lorenzo was left with one (it also started with a tie, 0-0 away against Banfield).
From the good work of Alemán and Carbonero, plus defensive security and the presence of Cecchini and Insaurralde in midfield, Gimnasia built a better image throughout the initial stage, but its dominance only began to become noticeable after the expulsion of Gordillo (deserved double warning for faults to Alemán).
In those last five minutes before the break and in the first minutes of the complement, beyond a good burst from the azulgranas (he arrived with Gattoni), the local accumulated arguments to open the scoring and achieved it with a left-footed shot in the Tarragona area, after a misunderstanding of the central visitors.
In the moments that followed, “Wolf” had several chances to finish him off, but collided with Torrico’s opposition: he suffocated Sosa, Alemán, Tarragona and Fratta successively.
If San Lorenzo continued in the game it was because of the goalkeeper’s task, but his teammates were never able to solve the difficulty that being with one less meant to them and Troglio’s changes did not work either. The “Wolf” deservedly kept the three points.
On the next date, the third, Gymnastics will visit Banfield (on Monday from 7:15 p.m.) and San Lorenzo will receive Defense and Justice (the same day but from 9:30 p.m.).
