San Lorenzo could do little in his visit to Junín. This Friday night, Álvaro Castiñeira’s team, still isolated for testing positive for Covid, was overtaken by Argentinian by a wide margin and cannot lift his head in the National League, where he added his third consecutive loss.
The locals took a good lead from the first quarter (33-18) and then knew how to handle it until the end of the match, which ended up winning by a difference of 20 (98-78). The Cyclone lacked offensive weight. In fact, those who contributed the most were Facundo Rutemberg and Leandro Cerminato, both with 18 points, but the rest fell far behind.
San Lorenzo had had a promising start despite the great change of players and squad for this season, but in recent dates it fell. It comes from falling consecutively against Oberá Tennis Club in Boedo and last Tuesday against Peñarol in Mar del Plata. And, on top of that, in the middle of this, the defeat in the final of the Argentine Super Cup against Quimsa.
A bad time in Junín for the Cyclone, which fell 98-78 to @Argentino_junin by @LigaNacional.
