San Lorenzo visits Brazil's Fortaleza, the unbeaten leader of Group H of the Copa Sudamericana, for the fourth round. The match is played at the Castelao Arena, with Uruguayan Gustavo Tejera as referee and televised ESPN, Star+ and DSports. Lose 2 to 1.
Ruben Dario Insua's team faces a tough match in Brazil against the only team that has beaten them in Bajo Flores since October last year. Fortaleza, led by Argentine Juan Pablo Vojvoda, won 2-0 on April 20 and ended a 10-match unbeaten run at the Nuevo Gasómetro.
The Ciclón lost it from the start, for a blooper inside the area that ended with the ball driven by Gonzalo Luján inside the own arc defended by Augusto Batalla.
But San Lorenzo had a quick reaction, as after a cross from the right, Gonzalo Maroni volleyed it with much violence and nailed it in the corner, in the 20th minute.
Argentina's Silvio Romero again exposed Barça's defensive errors when he appeared inside the box to capitalise on a cross from the right on the run. It was 24 minutes.
The "Cyclone" seeks to transfer his good moment in the Professional League – where he is the only guard of River Plate – to the Copa Sudamericana.
Fortaleza is the leader of the group with 9 points, then San Lorenzo and Palestino are located with 4, and Estudiantes de Mérida closes with zero.
