San Lorenzo face Recoleta FC on their return to international action | OneFootball

San Lorenzo will visit Paraguay’s Recoleta at 7 p.m. at Defensores del Chaco, for the opening matchday of Copa Sudamericana Group D.

San Lorenzo will make its Copa Sudamericana debut this Wednesday when it visits Paraguay’s Recoleta in a match corresponding to the opening round of Group D.

The match is scheduled for 7 p.m., will be played at the Defensores del Chaco Stadium, and will be available on ESPN and Disney+ Premium. The appointed referee is Chilean Cristian Garay, who will be assisted on VAR by his compatriot Miguel Araos.

This year will mark the “Ciclón’s” 14th appearance in the Copa Sudamericana. Its best performance in the competition came in 2002, when it was crowned champion after beating Colombia’s Atlético Nacional 4-0 on aggregate in the final.

Despite going through a very delicate institutional moment, San Lorenzo had a more than acceptable 2025. After a string of negative results in 2026, the Boedo club’s board decided to dismiss head coach Damián Ayude and replaced him with Gustavo Álvarez, who last Friday earned his first win in charge by defeating Estudiantes de La Plata.

On the other side will be Recoleta, which secured qualification for the group stage after pulling off an upset and eliminating Paraguay’s Nacional on penalties in the first qualifying round.
