Vietto scores, Cuello shines: «Ciclón» back to winning ways | OneFootball

After the setback in the derby and the poor performance against Unión, Damián Ayude’s team found their smile again by defeating Estudiantes de Río Cuarto 2-0. Although the “Ciclón” suffered more than expected in the second half, they managed to seal the deal against a Cordoban side that still hasn’t tasted victory in the tournament.

The match was broken open right from the start. In the 1st minute, Matías De Rittis broke down the right wing against a sleepy defense and sent in a precise cross for Luciano Vietto, who only had to tap it in. With the 1-0 lead, San Lorenzo controlled the first half comfortably, taking advantage of the spaces left by the visitors.

However, the script changed in the second half. San Lorenzo relaxed and Estudiantes (RC) grew into the game, pushing their lines forward and turning the home defense into a bundle of nerves. The equalizer was close, but in the 40th minute of the second half, Alexis Cuello fought for a ball in attack, beat the center backs, and finished delicately past Lastra to seal the definitive 2-0.
