Their next match was away to San Lorenzo which they drew 1-1, scoring the equaliser 1 minute after going behind. They played LDU de Quito away next where they took the lead early on through Carlos Gerardo Rodriguez before conceding an equaliser just after half time, the visitors weren’t going to settle for a point however, and struck in the 85^th minute to finish the game at 1-2 and secure three points.

Their Libertadores group stages didn’t start well, losing their first game 2-0 away to LDU de Quito before earning a point in a 1-1 draw at home to Toluca, where they will be frustrated to have conceded so quickly after taking the lead. They played Grêmio away in the next match, conceding a goal to Fred before they were helped out by the misfortune of Grêmio goalkeeper Macelo Grohe who put the ball into his own net, levelling the score at 1-1. The reverse fixture saw the same scoreline of 1-1 again although San Lorenzo will feel they should have done better, after conceding the equaliser in the 91^st minute.
