Lanús left it late: Valois the hero as El Grana won the Clásico | OneFootball

In a tight match, loaded with tension and with a goal disallowed for El Taladro because of a razor-thin offside, El Granate found the winner in the 42nd minute of the second half. Yoshan Valois met a precise cross from Lucas Besozzi to spark delirium at La Fortaleza and leave Pedro Troglio’s side empty-handed.

In the first half, Lanús threatened early with the runs of Toto Salvio and the movement of Franco Watson, but lacked the finishing touch to break the deadlock. However, the moment that changed the temperature of the match came in the 40th minute, when Mauro Méndez finished to make it 1-0 for Banfield, but after an endless VAR review, referee Nicolás Ramírez ruled the goal out for an almost imperceptible offside that sparked furious protests from the visitors.

In the second half, Pedro Troglio turned to his bench in search of fresh legs, but Lanús began to tilt the field with the introduction of Marcelino Moreno and the power of Colombian Yoshan Valois. Just when it seemed the draw was sealed, Lucas Besozzi’s magic appeared down the right; the winger sent a perfect cross into the heart of the box and Valois, with a firm header, beat Sanguinetti’s resistance in the 42nd minute.
