San Lorenzo and Talleres share the spoils in Córdoba | OneFootball

San Lorenzo drew 0-0 against Talleres de Córdoba in the eighth round of the Apertura at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium.

The match started intensely, with El Ciclón trying to establish themselves in the opponent’s half from the very first minute, while La T responded with high pressing and several attacks down the wings. The azulgrana side gave an early warning with a long-range shot from Agustín Ladstatter that forced Herrera into action, but as the minutes passed, territorial dominance shifted to the Córdoba team, who accumulated corners and chances, especially with crosses into the box and shots from mid-range.

In that context of siege, the figure of Gastón Hernández appeared at the 15-minute mark. The captain of the Boedo side cleared a tremendous ball off the line, making a saving header on the ground just as Talleres was already savoring the goal.

Then El Ciclón tried to respond with more direct attacks and had a clear chance at the feet of Luciano Vietto: first he threatened with a left-footed shot that grazed the top corner, and then he squandered another chance from the center of the box. La T replied with Ronaldo Martínez, who couldn’t direct his shot on target, in a back-and-forth that kept up the tension but lacked effectiveness.

The Córdoba side regained control through set pieces. They earned several corners and forced the azulgrana back line to multiply their efforts. Valentín Dávila had a header that was stopped on the line and later threatened again with another aerial delivery. Ulises Ortegoza also tried from outside the box, but always found opposing legs in the way. Amid that territorial dominance, Alex Vigo received a yellow card and there were some stoppages due to physical discomfort that slowed the pace.

In the final stretch of the first half, the home team pressed hard. Ronaldo Martínez fired a shot that was saved on the goal line and, already in stoppage time, Matías Catalán won a header after a corner but his effort went well over the crossbar. So they went into halftime goalless in Córdoba, with Talleres leaving a better impression at the end and San Lorenzo holding on to keep a clean sheet.
