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 the Ciclón trying to establish themselves in the opponent’s half from the very first minute, and the T responding with high pressure 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 racked up corners and chances, especially with crosses into the box and shots from mid-range.

In that siege, at the 15-minute mark, Gastón Hernández stood out. 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 the 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 area. The T answered with Ronaldo Martínez, who couldn’t direct his shot, in a back-and-forth that kept the tension high but lacked effectiveness.

The Córdoba side regained control through set pieces. They won several corners and forced the azulgrana backline to work overtime. Valentín Dávila had a header that was stopped right on the line and later threatened again with another aerial delivery. Ulises Ortegoza also tried from outside the box, but always found defenders in the way. Amid that territorial dominance, Alex Vigo received a yellow card and there were a few stoppages for 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 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.
