Lanús edge San Lorenzo 3-2, confident ahead of Unión clash | OneFootball

Lanús started the Torneo Apertura with a big win: they defeated San Lorenzo 3-2 at the Nuevo Gasómetro. Mauricio Pellegrino's team, the next opponent of Unión, showed efficiency in the first half and managed to hold on at the end.

The Granate struck quickly and made a difference in just half an hour. Rodrigo Castillo opened the scoring after a defensive error by the Ciclón, and at 28 minutes, Carlos Izquierdoz extended the lead with a precise header for a partial 2-0. San Lorenzo, overwhelmed and caught in a complex institutional climate, couldn't find immediate answers.

In the second half, the home team reacted with a penalty converted by Alexis Cuello, which brought life back to the match. However, just when it seemed the equalizer was imminent, Marcelino Moreno appeared with an individual play to score the 3-1 and set the visiting team on the path to victory. Cuello scored again near the end, but it wasn't enough.

Lanús, who came from a 4-1 thrashing of Sarmiento de La Banda in the Copa Argentina, earned three important points in their debut and will arrive with confidence for the match against the Tate, next Thursday 1/29 at 19:15.
