Buenos Aires, April 15 (NA) – San Lorenzo will host Deportivo Cuenca of Ecuador this Thursday for the second matchday of Group D of the Copa Sudamericana, with the possibility of climbing to the first position. The match, scheduled for 21:30, will take place at the Pedro Bidegain Stadium, better known as the “Nuevo Gasómetro”, and will be covered live by the Argentine News Agency and can be watched on DSports. The appointed referee was Venezuelan Yender Herrera, while the VAR will be Colombian Leonard Mosquera. San Lorenzo arrives at this match after a poor debut last week, where they drew 1-1 with Recoleta of Paraguay. However, the “Ciclón” has a great opportunity after the draw this Tuesday between Santos and Recoleta, as a victory would allow them to climb to the top of Group D. The team led by Gustavo Álvarez is on an interesting unbeaten streak, as they have not lost in any of the five matches played with their new head coach. On the other side will be Deportivo Cuenca, who in the first matchday secured a great victory at home against Santos of Brazil 1-0, thanks to an own goal by Brazilian goalkeeper Gabriel Brazao.
