Overview
- Played in Rosario on Sunday, the match at Estadio Marcelo Bielsa finished 0-0 and did little to ease Newell’s relegation worries or lift San Lorenzo into the postseason picture.
- Newell’s had entered on two straight league wins that nudged it out of the annual-table drop zone, yet its margin remains thin and every point still matters.
- San Lorenzo started the day ninth in Zone A seeking a jump into playoff positions, but the stalemate keeps Gustavo Álvarez’s side on the outside.
- Later on the Liga Profesional slate, Racing hosts River at 20:00 in Avellaneda in a Zone B matchup airing on ESPN Premium.
- In a separate development with national-team implications, Tottenham captain Cuti Romero left Sunday’s Premier League match with right-knee instability and is set for ligament tests ahead of the World Cup.
