With a clear objective set by Gattoni, the captain of the ball and bookish saga around Barça’s passing catalogue, the Insúa-led squad secured a hard-fought win in Junín and kept stacking points on the board.
The long-anticipated chapter in the San Lorenzo transfer saga finally arrived in full, even if some fans greeted it with mixed feelings. Federico Gattoni, the captain who had not renewed his contract and had tried to move on to Sevilla on loan for a spell, delivered the decisive moment with a 1-0 header against Sarmiento in Junín.
Apart from the transfer narrative, Rubén Darío Insúa’s side continued to show resilience. They are pragmatic, capable of absorbing pressure and striking at the right moment. Augusto Batalla proved his worth by making several crucial saves, including a standout stop in the first half, while attackers like Vombergar left a visible mark on the match through physical intensity after a collision with Cerutti.
Sarmiento created the better chances, especially through Gondou, but failed to pierce the San Lorenzo defense. The Cyclone seized opportunities on the counter and, while they didn’t always calm the finish, they managed to secure the victory. San Lorenzo sits in third place, closing 2022 on a high note under a coach who enjoys broad support from players and fans alike.
