Lanús and Tigre to battle for the last quarter-final spot | OneFootball

The “Granate” faces the “Matador” at La Fortaleza. The winner will face Racing, who recently eliminated River. It is also expected that the visiting players will form a guard of honor to recognize the home team for their recent continental triumph. This comes amid the controversy generated during the match between Rosario Central and Estudiantes de La Plata.

Lanús will host Tigre in the match that will determine who takes the last available spot in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Clausura Tournament playoffs.

The match will kick off at 9:30 PM at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanús – Néstor Díaz Pérez and will be broadcast on TNT Sports Premium. The match will be officiated by Leandro Rey Hilfer, with Fabrizio Llobet in charge of the VAR.

According to Doble Amarilla, it is planned that Tigre’s players will form a guard of honor to recognize Lanús for their recent Copa Sudamericana victory. This comes amid the controversy generated during the match between Rosario Central and Estudiantes de La Plata.

The team led by Mauricio Pellegrino comes in with momentum after being crowned continental champions against Atlético Mineiro. That final, played in Asunción, ended goalless and was decided by penalties, where Nahuel Losada was decisive with his saves.

In the Clausura, Lanús finished a strong initial phase in Group B, ending second with 30 points, just one behind Rosario Central.

Tigre, on the other hand, had an inconsistent campaign and collected 22 points over the 16 matches of the first stage. That tally allowed them to finish seventh and advance to the playoffs, although they now face a tough challenge as visitors.

The winner of the match will face Racing, who on Monday night defeated River 3-2 with a last-gasp goal from Gastón Martirena.
