San Lorenzo will visit Deportivo Riestra this Wednesday in a match that will close matchday 12 of the Torneo Apertura of the Professional Football League. The game will be marked by the debut of Gustavo Álvarez as its head coach. The match, corresponding to Zone A and scheduled for 19:00, will take place at the Guillermo Laza Stadium, will be covered live by the Argentine News Agency, and can be watched on ESPN Premium. The designated referee was Ariel Penel, while Germán Delfino will be in charge of the VAR. San Lorenzo arrives at this encounter in a very poor moment, as despite thrashing a weak Deportivo Rincón in the Copa Argentina, they carry a more than worrying drought in the Torneo Apertura, having not won in four matches. In the last round, the “Cyclone” was thrashed 5-2 at home by Defensa y Justicia, which marked the end of Damián Ayude's cycle as head coach, a position in which he would be replaced by Álvarez. San Lorenzo is 10th in Zone A with only 13 points, although a victory at Guillermo Laza would allow them to finish the round in playoff qualification spots. Deportivo Riestra, for its part, had a disastrous start to the Torneo Apertura, in which it has only accumulated six points and needs to start harvesting good results urgently if it does not want to get complicated with relegation.
