The Ciclón could not hold the narrow advantage they carried from Brazil, and at Morumbi they were eliminated by the Tricolor.
San Lorenzo fell 2-0 to Sao Paulo in the second leg of the Round of 16 in the 2023 Copa Sudamericana, ending their continental dream. They failed to protect the 1-0 lead earned at the Nuevo Gasómetro, even though the possibility remained just long enough.
As anticipated, the Cyclone played cautiously, yet Nahuel Barrios created a clear, standout moment when he carried the ball through a solo run and struck the crossbar. It seemed the first half would close without a goal until Jonathan Calleri delivered a header that tipped the tie in favor of the home side.
In the second period, the visitors pressed defensively, trying to weather the Brazilian siege and pursue counterattacks. At 67 minutes, Luciano finished a spectacular solo sequence by W. Rato and doubled the advantage, sealing Sao Paulo’s progression to the next stage.
