Sarmiento won convincingly and sank San Lorenzo further

Forward Jonatan Torres, with conquests at 27 minutes of the first half and at 35m. of the second, the latter through a penalty kick, gave victory to those led by Israel Damonte.

In stoppage time, and also with a necessary VAR intervention, the admitted Néstor Ortigoza, through another penalty, reduced the figures for those guided by DT Pedro Troglio.

Boedo’s team continues in the lower part of the table, with only one victory in nine presentations.

During the first stage, the Juninense team was the protagonist, with the simple argument of putting in quick transitions, from coast to coast, which generated indecision at the bottom of the “Cyclone.”

Before the opening of the scoreboard, the ?green? He had two clear chances and with the same person in charge: Yair Arismendi. The midfielder hit Torrico’s right post (9m.) and Rasmussen lost the rebound; while later (24m.) he crashed a shot on the crossbar with Torrico already defeated.

San Lorenzo, overwhelmed in those first 25 minutes, had had the clearest situation at the dawn of the match at the Eva Perón. When the initial 60 seconds were barely completed, left back Nicolás Fernández Mercau put a shot into the center of the goal that Josué Ayala resolved by sending the ball to the corner.

When he deserved it, Sarmiento took the lead, through a header from his scorer, Torres, who placed the ball out of reach of the visiting goalkeeper (27m.).

After the advantage achieved, the local team repeated the vice of previous matches: they gave the ball to their opponent who, with the solitary criterion of the Martegani kid, began to improve and prowl around Ayala’s fence, even without showing clarity.

In the second half, more out of necessity than conviction, the ?Cyclone? de Troglio moved a few meters ahead of him, but that behavior lacked what it lacked all night: intelligence.

Everything was uphill for him, moreover, when defender Federico Gattoni made a new mistake, grabbed an opponent by the body and went to the showers prematurely (21m.)

Martegani’s heart demanded a response from goalkeeper Ayala in a frontal shot. And a maneuver that required the intervention of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) gave him the knockout blow that San Lorenzo did not expect.

The Colombian Gordillo, who had gone to play in the background before the red card shown to his teammate, committed an innocent hand that seemed to be outside the area, but which – with the help of technology – was found to have been inside.

A subsequent shot by Bareiro that Ayala saved only served to add impotence to the hosts of a San Lorenzo team, which has not improved and continues to exhibit a worrying football image.

Regarding the closing, a Vismara infraction that also deserved the participation of the VAR to warn the referee Pitana allowed the ?azulgrana? narrow the account, through Ortigoza’s infallible shot from twelve steps.

Wednesday’s match against Racing de Córdoba (at 6:00 p.m. at the La Pedrera complex in Villa Mercedes, San Luis), for the Argentine Cup, is a commitment that could be a hinge for DT Troglio, who has not achieved the intended performance in what that goes of the Cup of the LPF.

Sarmiento, who left the direct relegation zone and got into that ?hell? Godoy Cruz de Mendoza, also accumulated his second victory in history against San Lorenzo, after 7 games. The first (2-0) was in the Metropolitano 1981 (April 12), with goals from Ricardo Gareca, current coach of the Peru team.
