Thrilling Comeback: Lanús Edges Out Belgrano 3-2 in Intense Showdown

This Thursday, at the Ciudad de Lanús Stadium, Ricardo Zielinski’s team defeated the Cordoba team by 3-2 and climbed to the sixth position on the table.

Lanús won against Belgrano 3-2 in a true match in the Fortress during the seventh round of the 2024 Professional League. The Granate managed to prevail thanks to goals from Marcelino Moreno, Mateo Sanabria, and Jonathan Torres, while Esteban Rolón and Franco Jara scored for the Pirata. The agonizing goal with VAR intervention added suspense to the match, but it was not enough for the Cordobans to take home a point from the south of Greater Buenos Aires.

The Grana was able to celebrate on a night that also saw the return of Toto Salvio and Cali Izquierdoz, two club legends. With this victory, Zielinski’s team reached 12 points in the standings, positioning themselves in sixth place, bouncing back after the last-minute draw against River in the resumption. Belgrano fell after their victory against Riestra in their province.

Belgrano started better than Lanús and surprised with quick play that unsettled the Granate’s back line. Alan Aguerre had to make an appearance to deflect Franco Jara’s first shot. The locals’ first opportunity came from a long ball by Cali Izquierdoz, but Jonathan Torres shot too high. The Grana struggled to find their rhythm until a cross from Nicolás Morgantini set up Salvio one-on-one, but Chicco made an incredible save with his feet, silencing Toto’s shout of joy.

It was finally Marcelino Moreno who opened the scoring after finding a rebound and unleashing a tremendous shot that Chicco could not contain. However, there was a lengthy pause as Méndez, the linesman, raised his flag, and it was VAR that had to confirm the position. It was ultimately validated. But the local joy was short-lived because Nicolás Fernández assisted Esteban Rolón with a backheel to equalize. This is how they went into halftime.

Ten minutes into the second half, Moreno sent a cross that Torres volleyed; Chicco managed to save it but left a short rebound that Mateo Sanabria did not miss, making it 2-1 for Lanús. A miscommunication at the back for the Pirata allowed Jonathan Torres to seize a loose ball in the opponent’s half and despite having a very narrow angle, he made it 3-1. In stoppage time, Franco Jara scored, but Belgrano ran out of time.
