At home, the Barça squad faced a tough night and were defeated 3-0 by the Rosario side.
Newell’s Old Boys, coached by Ruben Darío Insúa, entered a rough spell and found themselves facing an intensified challenge after a difficult stretch. In the Pedro Bidegain Stadium, on the eighth match date of the 2023 League Cup, the Rosarinos claimed a 3-0 victory that amplified the pressure on their opponents.
The Leprosy side bounced back from a painful classic defeat by producing a flawless display that featured Cristian Ferreira delivering a brace at 21 and 58 minutes, complemented by Ramiro Sordo’s goal at 74 minutes.
San Lorenzo, on the other hand, appeared unsettled and imprecise throughout the clash. A winless run now extended to six consecutive games, composed of five draws and this defeat, turning their progression to the next stage of the competition and their Libertadores Cup hopes into a more fragile proposition. They will need a strong finish to the year to regain momentum and confidence.
