San Lorenzo aim to start on the right foot against tough Lanús | OneFootball

The Cyclone and the Garnet face off at 7:00 PM at the Nuevo Gasómetro.

San Lorenzo and Lanús will face each other this Friday from 7:00 PM at the Nuevo Gasómetro, for the first round of the Torneo Apertura of the Professional League. In Bajo Flores, the Cyclone will begin a new chapter after a challenging year institutionally, while the Garnet arrives with momentum and confidence after their official debut.

The team led by Damián Ayude did not leave a good impression in their international preseason friendlies, with a loss against Cúcuta and a goalless draw against Cerro Porteño. However, the atmosphere at the club is much calmer, something that seemed distant just weeks ago, after having settled 14 debts that had prevented the signing of reinforcements.

With Sergio Constantino as president of the transitional committee, San Lorenzo is awaiting FIFA's authorization to be able to add Mathías De Ritis, Mauricio Cardillo, and Gregorio Rodríguez, while also waiting for the possible arrivals of Gonzalo Abrego and Jonathan Torres.

Lanús, meanwhile, will make their Apertura debut just a few days after advancing to the round of 32 of the Copa Argentina, after thrashing 4-1 against Sarmiento de La Banda. It was the first official match of the year for the southern team, which will also have a busy 2026, as they will play in the Copa Libertadores as the reigning Copa Sudamericana champions.

With the triple competition in mind, the Garnet secured the signings of Tomás Guidara, Matías Sepúlveda, and Franco Petroli, aiming to strengthen their squad for a demanding season.
