In San Lorenzo's squad, they have shown a great capacity for reaction in the match against Boca Juniors, at home, for the seventh round of the Argentine Professional League. During the second half, Adam Bareiro made his appearance to declare the comeback from 2-1 in the scoreline.
The match was approaching 54 minutes and 'Cuervo' was controlling the ball in the middle of the field when there was a change of pace: a long pass was made to Ezequiel Cerutti. The forward had trouble controlling it in the area but was smart in withstanding the onslaught of his rival and executed a cross.
Boca Juniors' defense was completely disorganized, a situation that was taken advantage of by Adam Bareiro: he entered the small rectangle and headed the ball to beat goalkeeper Agustín Rossi. In this way, San Lorenzo, if they secure the victory, could climb to seventh position, with 10 points; while 'Xeneize' would stay with nine units, now in 13th place.
The preview of Boca Juniors vs. San Lorenzo
Boca comes from losing on penalties (6-5) against Corinthians in La Bombonera, an agonizing defeat that crushed the illusion of winning the Copa Libertadores for the seventh time and at the same time detonated the departure of coach Sebastián Battaglia for not being able to achieve the major goal of the year.
Less than 24 hours after the elimination, 'Xeneize' announced the end of the contract with Battaglia, a club legend who won 18 tournaments as a player and two others in his coaching tenure (the Copa Argentina-2021 and the Liga Cup-2022), but clashed with the Boca Football Council and indirectly with vice president Juan Román Riquelme.
