The cup run ends for San Lorenzo
0‑0 against Gimnasia y Esgrima, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Agustín Ladstatter beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 33. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Mateo Clemente wins the shoot-out
1 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

6 saves: José Devecchi was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Ignacio Perruzzi, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.67
A mark of 7.67 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Tempers go at San Lorenzo
Alexis Cuello was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Words at San Lorenzo training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolás Tripichio is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

From twelve yards, and Facundo Gulli misses
A penalty is the one moment in football with nowhere to hide, and he did not score it. The walk back was long and the week will be longer.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Daniel Herrera
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Daniel Herrera, and the manager let it.
In brief
- The dugout Juan Martín De Luca on the point
- Player ratings Nothing got past Franco Lorenzón
- The dugout Gastón Hernández left out for tactical reasons at San Lorenzo
