San Lorenzo aim to get off to a flying start against tough Lanús | OneFootball

The Cyclone and the Garnet face off at 19:00 at the Nuevo Gasómetro.

San Lorenzo and Lanús will face each other this Friday from 19:00 at the Nuevo Gasómetro, for the first date of the Torneo Apertura of the Professional League. In Bajo Flores, the Cyclone will start a new cycle after a complex year institutionally, while the Garnet arrives with momentum and confidence after their official debut.

The team led by Damián Ayude did not leave good impressions in their international preseason friendlies, with a defeat against Cúcuta and a goalless draw against Cerro Porteño. However, the atmosphere in the club is more calm, something that seemed distant weeks ago, after having settled 14 debts that prevented the incorporation of reinforcements.

With Sergio Constantino as president of the transitional committee, San Lorenzo awaits FIFA's authorization to add Mathías De Ritis, Mauricio Cardillo, and Gregorio Rodríguez, while also waiting for the possible arrivals of Gonzalo Abrego and Jonathan Torres.

Lanús, meanwhile, will make its debut in the Apertura a few days after advancing to the round of 32 of the Copa Argentina, after thrashing 4-1 against Sarmiento de La Banda. It was the first official match of the year for the southern team, which will also have a busy 2026, as they will compete in the Copa Libertadores as the reigning champion of the Copa Sudamericana.

Thinking about the triple competition, the Garnet closed the signings of Tomás Guidara, Matías Sepúlveda, and Franco Petroli, with the aim of strengthening their squad for a demanding season.
