Buenos Aires, January 30 (NA) – San Lorenzo will host Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero this Saturday in a match that marks the start of the third round of the Professional Football League's Apertura Tournament. The match, corresponding to Zone A and scheduled for 17:30, will take place at the Pedro Bidegain stadium, better known as the 'Nuevo Gasómetro', and can be watched on ESPN Premium. The match will also be covered by the Argentine News Agency. The referee will be Fernando Echenique, assisted by José Carreras from the VAR. San Lorenzo, coached by Damián Ayude, comes from a 1-0 away victory over the newly promoted Gimnasia de Mendoza in the second round, following a negative debut in which they fell 3-2 to Lanús. This match against the Santiago del Estero team presents a good opportunity to bring joy to their fans at the 'Nuevo Gasómetro' and start to settle in Zone A, where Lanús and Vélez currently lead with a perfect score. So far in this Apertura Tournament, the main figure for the 'Ciclón' is forward Alexis Cuello, who scored a double against Lanús and provided the assist in the victory over Gimnasia de Mendoza. Central Córdoba, for its part, had a very poor start to the year, as they lost 1-0 at home to Gimnasia de Mendoza in the first round, while in their next appearance they managed a goalless draw away to the always tricky Atlético Tucumán. For this reason, the team coached by Lucas Pusineri will be looking for their first win in the Apertura Tournament, which would also allow them to move away from the bottom positions.
