The Cyclone keeps dreaming: he outplayed Gloria with two penalties converted by Vombergar, and while River stays on the sidelines, the gap remains a mere two points behind the pace.
The question now is who will harness the momentum for this San Lorenzo side, a squad molded under Rubén Darío Insúa, a true believer guiding Boedo toward promise. With a group of fighters encouraged to attack, they again showed grit, kept a clean sheet at the Nuevo Gasómetro, and until River and Platense meet, they sit as the lone chasers, two points adrift.
El Ciclón had to grind against Instituto, controlling much of the contest, yet could not breach Carranza, whose extraordinary save stifled Vombergar. To complicate matters further, Perrito Barrios left the field with an injury and Augusto Batalla hurried off his line to slam the door shut.
The decisive moment arrived after halftime when Alarcón released La Bomba forward and, in the 11th minute, converted a penalty to open the scoring. The afternoon would not stop there, as Carranza delivered a cross and in the scramble, tucked the ball past Gattoni for an own goal. Vombergar finished decisively, rising again to seal a 2-0 victory, keeping Cuervo waiting for another River stumble while dreams of the title remain perfectly permissible.
