San Lorenzo closed Uruguay’s group with a defeat against Danubio

San Lorenzo lost this Saturday 1-0 against Danubio in Montevideo, exactly one week before their first competitive match of the year, and completed their preseason tour in Uruguay with negative balance. Is that he not only closed his pass through the neighboring country with a record of two defeats and one draw, but also showed a marked offensive anemia scoring no goals in any of those games.

The group directed by Ruben Darío Insua it deserved more than a negative outcome at the Centenario stadium, where this friendly valid for the Río de la Plata Series was played. In fact, he repeatedly demanded Mauro Goicoechea, a rival goalkeeper who he transformed into a figure, and showed good intentions with the ball at his feet.

However, it came across a rival who made the most of the early finish risk free. 41 minutes had passed into the first half, when Maximiliano Añasco grabbed a rebound from Augusto Batalla, after an attempt by Diego Vera, and set up the 1-0 for the team led by Esteban Conde, former goalkeeper of Atlético Rafaela and Banfield .

In the second part, San Lorenzo had the clearest chances. First it was close to equalizing with a Malcom Braida shot that crashed into the crossbar and then with a maneuver that ended in a goal from the admitted Iván Leguizamón, but which was invalidated by the referee for an alleged infringement in attack by Adam Bareiro.

Thus the Cup called “Luis Malvarez” remained in Danube, in homage to the famous former striker who wore the shirts of both teams in the 80s, and who distinguished himself in the establishment of Barça, as a member of the remembered “Cambodians “.

San Lorenzo, in part, added this negative result to a goalless draw against Independiente del Valle, who eventually beat them on penalties, and defeats by minimum difference against Peñarol and tonight against the club.” fringed”.

Three cases to follow closely in view of the debut

The Boedo complex will have a week to prepare for his tournament debut of the Professional Soccer League, which will take place on Saturday 28, starting at 17:00, against Arsenal de Sarandí, at the Nuevo Gasómetro.

During that period, Insua will surely pay special attention to AAugusto Batalla, Gastón Hernández and Iván Leguizamón.

In the goalkeeper’s case, the match ended with a muscle injury to his right leg (apparently to the adductor) immediately after Hernández’s exit, due to a knock on his knee.

Leguizamón, meanwhile, collided with Rafael Haller’s head and walked off the pitch on a stretcher, the product of a cut on his scalp.
