San Lorenzo achieved a last-minute victory against Tigre that allowed them to advance to the quarterfinals of the 2025 Apertura Tournament Playoffs. The team had to overcome the early expulsion of Elián Irala and secured the win thanks to Alexis Cuello's goal in the 89th minute. One of those who spoke after the match was Marcelo Moretti, who is currently on leave amid the scandal over alleged bribes.
Despite the chants calling for his resignation and the banner against him that appeared this afternoon, the official celebrated the victory, hinting at the possibility of resuming his role at the head of the club.
He expressed his celebration in his WhatsApp statuses, where he highlighted the 2-1 against the Victoria team with a phrase that quickly went viral on social media. "Time puts everything and everyone in their place. Always with God as a witness of the witness," he wrote, making it clear that he keeps his innocence in the case that caused a strong impact on Argentine soccer.

Although the other members of the Board of Directors, who only on Thursday managed to agree on an internal reorganization, expressed that they expect his immediate resignation, Moretti doesn't have that intention. According to what he expressed to his closest circle, he doesn't plan to leave his position and aspires to resume it.
Meanwhile, the Gloriosa Butteler, the Ciclón's barra brava, posted on their Instagram account the image of a banner showing President Marcelo Moretti, stashing a wad of bills in his jacket, along with the phrase: "How was the kid?", referencing the hidden camera broadcast by Canal 9.
In the publication of the group that cheers the popular section of the Nuevo Gasómetro, you can read the message: "Everyone's days are numbered". This is just a glimpse of the complex institutional moment the Boedo club is going through, flooded with debts, accusations of alleged bribes, and a very tense political climate.
