Lautaro Martínez returned to club duty after his Argentina commitments and the farewell surrounding Lionel Messi, with his workload carefully managed but his team losing none of its authority. The side led by the forward known as El Toro swept aside the Cruzados 3-0.
Carboni and Troilo were on the beaten side, with Troilo tasked with marking Martínez during the match. Even without asking their Argentine striker to carry every minute, Martínez’s team controlled the occasion and turned the evening into a convincing three-goal victory.
