A goal from Paraguayan forward Adam Bareiro propelled San Lorenzo to a 0-1 victory as visitors against Deportivo Independiente Medellín (DIM) in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana playoff, spoiling the debut of Uruguayan Alfredo Arias on the helm of the Poderoso.

The match, held at the Atanasio Girardot stadium, was marked by the first-half expulsion of Edwuin Cetré from the Colombian team, which tilted the balance in favor of the Argentinians who, despite not attacking much, managed to secure a valuable victory."
