Emanuel Mammana scored the first goal for River Plate in the 40th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, San Lorenzo was frustrated by River Plate’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. River Plate ended the match with the shutout victory. San Lorenzo is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Lanús won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Federico Gattoni and Adam Bareiro are the top scorers for San Lorenzo in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
