Independentwith one player less for 70 minutes, and San Lorenzo They tied 0-0 tonight, at the Libertadores de América stadium, in a match for the ninth date of the Professional League.
However, the draw was not enough for either team, who remain near the bottom of the table.
In the 19th minute, Alex Luna tackled Malcom Braida and referee Hernán Mastrángelo showed him a yellow card. However, after a review by the VAR, the referee decided to revoke the warning and expel the Rojo midfielder.
This was a real disadvantage for the home team, whose best player was goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey.
San Lorenzo had the ball for much of the first half, and even more so when they had an extra player, but Independiente did not stay behind and, given their limitations, were able to retreat well to the back and counterattack at key moments.
In the second half, Rey became the star of the match in the first few minutes, as he blocked a shot from the right by Alexis Cuello and blocked a header in the small area by Andrés Vombergar.
Coach Julio Vaccari put all the youngsters on the field looking for freshness and he achieved it, as he cornered San Lorenzo in their own field and did not let them play comfortably until the end of the match.
However, since Vaccari took over, Independiente has still not won, which led to widespread protests from fans after the match.
