The Granate triumphed with two crucial goals against el Globo in the 8th match of the Copa Argentina. The deadlock was broken early in the second half when Sasha Marcich scored at the 50th minute, while Dylan Aquino later doubled the advantage at the 69th minute, confirming Lanús’ spot in the next round.
Sasha Marcich earned acclaim for his stunning strike just after the break. The defender unleashed a powerful free kick from the right that found the top left corner of the net, leaving goalkeeper Sebastián Meza with no chance.
Lanús midfielder Eduardo Salvio had an opportunity to extend the lead further but squandered a penalty in the 55th minute, much to the disappointment of the crowd.
Coach Mauricio Pellegrino fielded a 4-5-1 formation with Nahuel Losada guarding the goal; the defensive line consisted of Gonzalo Pérez, Carlos Izquierdoz, Ronaldo Dejesús, and Sasha Marcich; the midfield featured Felipe Peña Biafore, Agustín Cardozo, Eduardo Salvio, Franco Watson, and Dylan Aquino; while Rodrigo Castillo led the attack.
On the contrary, Frank Kudelka’s squad operated in a similar 4-5-1 setup, with Sebastián Meza in goal, Tomás Guidara, Hugo Nervo, Nehuén Paz, and César Ibáñez in defense; Emmanuel Ojeda, Lucas Carrizo, Leonardo Sequeira, Matko Miljevic, and Rodrigo Cabral occupied the midfield, and Matías Tissera played upfront.
The match was supervised by Sebastián Zunino, who ensured order throughout the encounter.
With this victory, Lanús progresses further in the Copa Argentina, reaching the Quarterfinals.
