“Martín de Ritis receives the first yellow card of the match for a cynical foul, setting an early physical tone”
Unión Santa Fe
San Lorenzo
Outstanding performance
Unión Santa Fe•DefenderUnión Santa Fe and San Lorenzo played out a frustrating goalless draw in a match that came alive in the second half but lacked the clinical edge in the final third. The first 45 minutes were largely uneventful with only Martín de Ritis picking up an early booking for a foul, setting the tone for a scrappy encounter. Both managers made tactical adjustments at the break, with San Lorenzo introducing fresh legs that sparked a more intense second half. The visitors dominated the latter stages with multiple substitutions including the introduction of experienced striker Luciano Vietto on the hour mark, but neither side could find the breakthrough despite increased tempo and physicality that saw three yellow cards distributed.
