After taking a 1-0 victory in the first leg, the Cyclone travels to Morumbí with a strengthened midfield built on experience to challenge the Tricolor side.
San Lorenzo remains determined to chase the Copa Sudamericana dream, a title the club last tasted in 2002, achieved under the leadership of a former great who is back on the bench today and remains a key figure in the Barcelona years. The team carries that legacy as it heads into the crucial away match.
Following a 1-0 win in the opening leg, courtesy of a shared goal from Adam Bareiro, Ciclón now faces the challenge of Morumbí where Sao Paulo, the 2012 continental champions, wait. The game is scheduled for Thursday, August 10, with kickoff at 7 p.m. local time. Boedo’s side needs at least a draw to stay alive in the competition and will then meet the winner of the other tie between Liga de Quito and Ñublense.

THE CALL OF SAN LORENZO
Rubén Darío Insúa faces the reality of a depleted squad, with players who departed and new signings not fully registered, leaving a thinner roster than desired. Much like the first leg, Agustín Martegani remains unavailable due to an earlier issue, but he is inching closer to resuming his career in Italy. The mission is clear: keep the dream alive and push for a positive result on the road.
A delegation of 25 players, including several youth prospects, traveled on Tuesday and completed a training session at the Palmeiras stadium as part of their preparation.

THE FORMATION OF SAN LORENZO
Although the coach did not reveal his exact lineup after the latest training in São Paulo, the plan suggests a preference to control the middle of the park. Roca Sánchez appears in midfield instead of Gonzalo Maroni, a move aimed at supporting Elías in breaking up Sao Paulo’s buildup. The rest of the starting eleven is expected to mirror the configuration from the previous match.
The eleven is expected to be: August Battle; Rafael Perez, Gaston Campi, Gaston Hernandez; Agustín Giay, Jalil Elias, Carlos Sanchez, Malcolm Braida; Ivan Leguizamon, Nahuel Barrios and Adam Bareiro. DT: Ruben Dario Insua.
THE REPLACEMENTS OF SAN LORENZO
Altamirano, Luján, Arias, Baez, Maroni, Calcaterra, Perruzzi, Irala, Hernández, Perea, Goyeneche and Blandi are listed as substitutes who could come off the bench if needed.
