Luciano Vietto made headlines by scoring the fastest goal of the 2026 Apertura Tournament for San Lorenzo, striking just 26 seconds after the match began against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto. This swift goal contributed to a crucial victory for the team, instantly energizing the fans who were still arriving at the Nuevo Gasómetro stadium. While this momentous goal is a highlight of the match, it also underscores Vietto's significant contribution to San Lorenzo's season.

In this match, the referee, Sebastián Martínez Beligoy, initiated the game, and the opposing team, Estudiantes, kicked off. San Lorenzo quickly regained possession and launched an immediate offensive that led to the remarkable goal by Vietto. This early score was not only pivotal for the team's morale but also for the dynamics of the match, forcing Estudiantes to adapt their strategy from the very beginning.
