Lanús edge San Lorenzo 3-2, head into Unión clash in form | OneFootball

Lanús kicked off the Torneo Apertura with a huge win: they beat San Lorenzo 3-2 at the Nuevo Gasómetro. Mauricio Pellegrino’s team, Unión’s next opponent, 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 the 28th minute, Carlos Izquierdoz extended the lead with a precise header for a partial 2-0. San Lorenzo, overwhelmed and caught up in a complicated institutional atmosphere, couldn’t find immediate answers.

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

Lanús, who had just thrashed Sarmiento de La Banda 4-1 in the Copa Argentina, picked up three important points in their debut and will arrive with confidence for the match against el tate, next Thursday 1/29 at 19:15hs.
