La Gloria struck at the death, knocked out Lanús and stays alive | OneFootball

Colombian Jhon Córdoba opened the scoring for La Gloria at Parque Independencia in a controversial play in which everyone from Granate appealed for offside.

Early in the second half, referee Nazareno Arasa sent off Carlos Izquierdoz and Fernando Alarcón after a scuffle.

Later on, substitute Lucas Besozzi scored the equalizer for Mauricio Pellegrino’s side after a poor clearance by goalkeeper Roffo, although the forward was involved in an unfortunate incident in the closing stages.

In stoppage time, Cardozo committed a perhaps unnecessary foul right on the edge of the box, and substitute Jeremías Lázaro curled the free kick into the top corner, making Petroli’s dive futile, as he could do nothing.

Near the end, Hernán de la Fuente and Besozzi were also shown red cards, the latter after a brutal tackle from behind on Abregú. Córdoba keeps celebrating: La Gloria also advanced to the next round.
