San Lorenzo
Talleres Córdoba
Outstanding performance
San Lorenzo•GoalkeeperSan Lorenzo were second-best for long stretches, out-passed and out-possessed by a Talleres side that controlled 53% of the ball, but a moment of chaos from a corner won them the match. Alexis Cuello, already a threat after a first-half header, pounced in the 63rd minute to turn a second corner into the game's only goal. The real story, though, was San Lorenzo playing over half an hour with ten men after Matías Galarza's second yellow in the 58th minute, yet somehow finding both the goal and the discipline to protect it. Despite the numerical disadvantage, San Lorenzo actually finished with more shots (19 to 15) and dangerous attacks, showing a willingness to counter rather than simply sit back, while six saves from their goalkeeper kept Talleres at arm's length until the final whistle.
