San Lorenzo went to the round of 16 with a victory against Sarmiento (Resistencia)

In the Argentina 25 – Copa Argentina 2023 game, striker Nicolás Blandi scored 2 goals in El Ciclón’s fine 3-0 victory over El Decano. The goals of the match for the locals were scored by Rafael Pérez (21′ 1T) and Nicolás Blandi (43′ 1T and 6′ 2T).

Rafael Pérez rocked the stadium with his definition, in the 21st minute of the first leg. After receiving a corner from the left, the defender directed it towards the right post and below, from the large area. Impossible for the goalkeeper!

Rafael Pérez was the party figure. The San Lorenzo defender was important to score 1 goal and throw 4 balls outside the danger zone.

Nicolás Blandi was also important. The San Lorenzo striker scored 2 goals and finished the opposite goal twice.

Defender Facundo Pardo of Sarmiento (Resistencia) asked midfielder Agustín Martegani of San Lorenzo to dance and gave him a pipe after 13 minutes.

The course of the match was very tight and intense, with more nerves than game. Several people were warned: Franco Schiavoni, Nahuel Gómez, Matías Mansilla and René Escobar.

San Lorenzo technical director Rubén Insúa proposed a 3-4-3 strategy with Augusto Batalla in goal; Rafael Pérez, Federico Gattoni and Gastón Hernández on the defensive line; Agustín Giay, Agustín Martegani, Carlos Sánchez and Malcom Braida in the middle; and Andrés Vombergar, Nicolás Blandi and Iván Leguizamón in attack.

For their part, those led by Leonardo Fernández stopped with a 4-5-1 scheme with Emilio Di Fulvio under the three sticks; Nahuel Gómez, Facundo Pardo, Fernando Ponce and Luciano Lapetina in defense; Matías Mansilla, Juan Manuel Torres, Fabrizio Palma, Franco Schiavoni and Diego Auzqui in midfield; and Franco Olego in front.
