Squad

11 saves: José Devecchi was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 11 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market

WSG Tirol come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and San Lorenzo did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Only the photograph left for Nahuel Barrios

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Nahuel Barrios will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around San Lorenzo the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Valladolid join the queue for Ignacio Perruzzi

Add another name to the list: Valladolid have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Ignacio Perruzzi. The answer from San Lorenzo has not changed — yet.

Boardroom

San Lorenzo to lose Mathías de Ritis for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Mathías de Ritis has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Tempers go at San Lorenzo

Gastón Hernández 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.

Player ratings

A hand in 2 of them from Facundo Farías — 7.91

Marked 7.91. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Squad

Facundo Farías falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Facundo Farías sends San Lorenzo past Estudiantes

It finished 2‑0, and it was Facundo Farías’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to San Lorenzo.

In brief
