Dos de Mayo claimed a 2:1 win away to San Lorenzo in round 9 of the Clausura at Estadio Gunther Vogel on Friday evening. The visitors took the lead inside the first quarter-hour and held on despite a late surge from the hosts. It was a result that shifted the balance in the lower half of the table.
Daniel Angel Aguilera opened the scoring for San Lorenzo in the 10th minute, but the momentum shifted when referee R. Amarilla was penalised for a handball. Franco Aragón converted the resulting penalty in the 17th minute to put Dos de Mayo ahead. The home side pressed hard for an equaliser but could not find a way through.
San Lorenzo made three changes at the break, bringing on Henry Rolando Riquelme Barrios, Camilo Saiz, and Daniel Angel Aguilera, who had been booked. The visitors added a second penalty in the 67th minute through Ó. Romero after Alberto Espinola was brought down. San Lorenzo threw men forward but saw the game out without adding to the scoreline.
Both teams shared possession evenly at 50 per cent, but the efficiency gap was stark. Dos de Mayo registered four shots on target from 127 attacks, while San Lorenzo mustered only two from 101. The shot accuracy figures—0.36 versus 0.20—told the story of who took their chances. We gave an away win before kick-off with 50 per cent confidence, and the match played out as we thought it might.
San Lorenzo remain 11th with a single point from three games, having lost twice and drawn once. Dos de Mayo move up to second place with seven points after two wins and one draw. The gap between them in the table now stands at six points, and the visitors fancy their chances of pushing for a top-four finish.
