Lanús and Central Córdoba drew 0-0 in a key Apertura 2026 clash | OneFootball

Lanús and Central Córdoba ended in a scoreless draw in a match played at the Néstor Díaz Pérez stadium, corresponding to the sixteenth round of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. The game, which started at a good pace, gradually lost intensity, leaving both teams unable to convert their scoring chances.

The most notable moment of the match for the home side came in the 41st minute of the second half, when Carlos Izquierdoz had the chance to score from the penalty spot, but his shot was effectively saved by goalkeeper Alan Aguerre.

With this result, the team managed by Mauricio Pellegrino sits in fifth place in Zone A with a total of 23 points, while the “Ferroviario” is in thirteenth place with 16 points.

In the next round, Lanús will face Deportivo Riestra at home, while Central Córdoba, under the direction of Lucas Pusineri, will close out its participation in the tournament against Boca, also at home, although the date and kickoff time have yet to be confirmed.

The first dangerous chance of the match came after seven minutes, when Eduardo Salvio received a through ball and, after a run, fired a low shot, although Aguerre was able to stop it.

Shortly afterward, in the 12th minute, a well-worked attack allowed Marcelino Moreno to get off a shot that went wide. In the 36th minute, Salvio was again involved with a cross that found Moreno, who could not finish due to the intervention of the opposing goalkeeper.

At the end of the first half, Sasha Marcich had a clear chance, but his shot struck Aguerre’s right post.

In the second half, a brilliant individual play by Salvio almost ended in a goal, but his shot went just wide. Central Córdoba’s first chance came in the 30th minute, when Horacio Tijanovich sent in a cross that Ezequiel Naya could not take advantage of because of a mistake by goalkeeper Nahuel Losada.

Four minutes later, Dylan Aquino tried to take advantage of a defensive scramble, but his shot went close to the post. Finally, Izquierdoz’s penalty was the last big chance of the match, but goalkeeper Aguerre once again stood out with a great save.
