San Martín de San Juan face relegation, fans abuse Romagnoli & team | OneFootball

The team from San Juan drew 0 to 0 with Instituto and remains in the relegation zone with only five matches left until the end of the tournament. On top of that, there were issues with the fans and Romagnoli ran out of credit.

What could have been a day where San Martin de San Juan could get on track to face the final stretch of the season with some hope of avoiding relegation, ended up being a day of terror. The team of Leandro Romagnoli once again fell short after the 0 to 0 draw with Instituto, in a match also marked by incidents caused by the Verdinegro's own fans.

The averages and the annual table to define the two relegations in the Professional League

With this draw, the fifth in the current Clausura tournament, coupled with Aldosivi's 2 to 0 victory over Union and the fact that Talleres has not yet played its match this round, the team from San Juan sinks further into the direct relegation zone and the end of the story seems inevitable.

This Saturday against Gloria, the team was once again far from the expected level, suffered with each attack from the opponent and, to make matters worse, when Romagnoli's team had found playing circuits, the match was stopped for an absurd reason: a group of local fans climbed the Olympic fence to ask that Instituto's fans, who were outside the Hilario Sanchez, be allowed into the stadium.

This stoppage at the end of the first half slowed down the team, which also at the beginning of the second half suffered the expulsion of midfielder Nicolás Watson, forcing it to hold back to prevent the end of the story from being worse.

After the match, the coach spoke at a press conference and stated that he has the strength to continue in his position: "I have been talking with Jorge and Pablo -president and vice-, we are always in contact and we review how we are doing. For now, I have the strength to continue and try to win the next match".

The next match for the team from Cuyo will be none other than against San Lorenzo, next Friday at 14.30 at the Nuevo Gasómetro, in a match that will surely be very special for Pipi. Will he make it?
