San Lorenzo drew 0:0 with Deportivo Recoleto in the Clausura round twelve at Estadio Günter Vogel on 28 September 2026. Neither side could find a breakthrough despite several promising moments. And here's the thing — two goals were disallowed by VAR, one for each team, and that shaped the entire evening.
The first chance fell at minute twenty-five when Alex Junior Álvarez Rojas had a goal cancelled after a VAR review. It came late in the game too, with Luis Cáceres seeing his effort ruled out in added time at ninety-six minutes. To be fair, both sides created enough to score, but the officials stepped in.
Coaches made their moves in waves. San Lorenzo brought on Paul Charpentier and Alejandro Silva together at the break, then threw on three players at sixty-four minutes including Álvarez Rojas himself. Deportivo Recoleto responded with changes at sixty-eight and eighty-two minutes, trying to force an opening that never came.
The numbers tell a story of frustration. San Lorenzo held the ball less at forty-three percent but fired twelve shots wide while Deportivo Recoleto managed only six off target. The hosts registered three shots on target against just one for their visitors, yet neither keeper faced a real test — one save for San Lorenzo, two for the away side.
The result keeps San Lorenzo eleventh on a solitary point from three matches, while Deportivo Recoleto remain sixth with four points. A draw suits neither side's ambitions, but by then the match had settled into a pattern neither coach could break.
We had tipped an away victory at fifty-nine percent confidence before kick-off. The match went another way entirely — two cancelled goals and a stubborn defence from both sides proved too much to overcome.
