Andrés Vombergar opened the account for the visitor (11m); Lucas Kruspzky (47m PT), Marcelo Estigarribia (1m ST) and Justo Giani (3m) turned the score around for “Patron”; and Nicolás Castro against (14m ST) closed the result on the night of Paraná.
Patronato not only reached fourth place in the standings (21, with Godoy Cruz, Platense and Unión), but, although it remains last in the averages, it was only three behind Aldosivi and seven behind Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero.
Facundo Sava’s also come from getting into the top eight in the Copa Argentina after beating Gimnasia (LP).
San Lorenzo, meanwhile, with 17 units, had his hopes of getting into the fight for the top positions dimmed.
The first 15 minutes were back and forth, with the midfield as a transit area, and in that context San Lorenzo was superior due to the good work of Cerutti and Martegani.
This is how he generated approaches until he took a well-deserved advantage, at 11m, with a good combination that ended with Vombergar entering without markings through the center of the area and defining with a subtle touch before Altamirano’s exit.
From then on, the match entered a well of friction, rubbing, inaccuracies and blows, among which a couple of shots from outside the area barely stood out (one from Bareiro for the visitor, another from Acevedo for the local), and a Interesting maneuver by Vombergar on the right that ended with a center back for Cerutti, who defined above the crossbar.
Between complaints and interruptions, when the result of the stage seemed immovable, Patronato made his best move, Leys went to the right, sent a low and past cross and Kruspzky, entering only at the far post, violated the goal of Battle. 1-1.
Driven by the agonizing draw in the first half, and with the success of the three changes made by “Colorado” Sava, El Patron scored another two goals in the first three minutes of the complement and was, incredibly, 3 to 1 up.
Before the first minute was up, Giani left on the right, sent the center and defined Estigarribia.
And at 3m the roles were reversed: Estigarribia was the one in the center from the same sector, after taking advantage of a rebound in Martegani, and Giani defined with a “taquito” inside the area.
The subsequent moments were brilliant for the local, with touches, changes of front, good combinations, although all without depth. And at 14m, when San Lorenzo couldn’t find the way, Patronato scored an unusual goal against, Nicolás Castro headed in what he tried to be a pass to his goalkeeper.
But except for an immediate situation that Cerutti wasted and another about the closing of Berairo, the “Ciclón” could not approach the tie. Patronato was managing the climate and the times of the match, saving another three fundamental points in a huge campaign and dreaming more and more intensely of staying in the First Division.
On the next day, the 14th, the Board will visit Talleres de Córdoba (Thursday 18th from 7pm) and San Lorenzo will receive Platense (Tuesday 16th, also from 7pm).
