Overview
- Facundo Gulli scored a stoppage‑time, Messi‑style curler that decided the match and gave San Lorenzo a 2-1 victory over Estudiantes on Sunday.
- After the loss Alexander Medina said the team must 'change the chip' and bury the domestic result to concentrate on the Libertadores semifinal in Rio de Janeiro.
- Match reports highlighted that Estudiantes mixed regular starters with backups and showed lapses in defense and midfield that exposed depth limits ahead of the continental tie.
- Other domestic results left a mixed picture for Argentine clubs with Racing and Independiente drawing 1-1, River winning 3-0 at Belgrano, Osasuna ending a five‑game winless run in Spain, and Aldosivi remaining in danger on the annual relegation table.
- The defeat tightens Estudiantes' short‑term calendar because only a few domestic points remain to secure qualification and coaches must now decide whether to prioritise squad rotation for Libertadores success or risk domestic fallout.
