Video, San Lorenzo humiliation: home loss to Recoleta, out of Sudamericana | OneFootball

El Ciclón needed a win to secure qualification for the round of 16, but fell 1-0 to the Paraguayan side and bowed out of the international competition early.

San Lorenzo lost 1-0 to Deportivo Recoleta on matchday 6 of the Copa Sudamericana group stage and was eliminated from the international tournament. Allan Wlk, in the 37th minute of the first half, sealed the final result, although he missed a penalty at the end of the match. From the moment the scoring was opened, El Ciclón was the better side but could never find the back of the net. As a result, it finished third in Group D, with an inferior goal difference (+1) compared to Brazil’s Santos (+2), after being level on the Olympic tiebreaker criterion.

Against all odds, the team managed by Gustavo Álvarez’s executioner finished the group stage on top with eight points, the result of just one win and five draws. Consequently, it qualified directly for the round of 16. Neymar’s side, meanwhile, finished 2nd with the same number of points as San Lorenzo (7), but with one more goal in the goal difference thanks to the thrashing it handed Deportivo Cuenca at home.
