San Lorenzo visit Gimnasia, aiming to bounce back after setback | OneFootball

The Cyclone aims for recovery and the Mendocino Wolf seeks another victory in the Apertura Tournament.

Gimnasia de Mendoza and San Lorenzo will face each other this Tuesday from 8:00 PM at the Víctor Antonio Legrotaglie Stadium, for the second round of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. The Mendocino Wolf will seek to continue on the winning path after a historic debut, while the Cyclone will try to recover after a tough defeat at home.

The Mendoza team comes from achieving a historic victory 1-0 against Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero, thanks to an early goal by Valentino Simoni. That match marked the return of Gimnasia to the First Division after more than 40 years, and the debut couldn't have been better. Now, with the support of their fans, they will try to add points again to strengthen their start in the tournament.

San Lorenzo, on the other hand, had an adverse start. The blue and red team fell 3-2 against Lanús at the Nuevo Gasómetro, despite a double by Alexis Cuello. The goals from Rodrigo Castillo, Carlos Izquierdoz, and Marcelino Moreno gave the victory to the Granate, leaving the Cyclone with the need to score in Mendoza to avoid compromising their start to the championship.

The match appears as an important test for both: Gimnasia wants to confirm what they did in their debut in the top category, while San Lorenzo seeks reaction and balance after a debut with a bitter taste.
