Lanús reeling: late Instituto defeat before trip to Unión | OneFootball

Lanús, Unión’s next opponent in the Clausura Tournament, suffered a tough setback this weekend after losing 1-0 to Instituto in a match decided on the final play. The game’s only goal was scored by Fernando Alarcón, who struck in stoppage time to give La Gloria a dramatic victory.

The team managed by Mauricio Pellegrino came close to salvaging a draw, but ended up empty-handed at the end of the match. The defeat is a mental blow for El Granate, who must now quickly shift their focus to their next clash against Unión.

For their part, El Tatengue will be looking for their first win of the tournament against a Lanús side that will arrive worn down and frustrated after losing a match that seemed headed for a draw, further deepening their poor run after being knocked out of the Copa Sudamericana during the week by Peru’s Cienciano.

This was Lanús’ lineup tonight: LOSADA – 33. GUIDARA – 24. IZQUIERDOZ (C) – 13. CANALE – 6. MARCICH – 30. CARDOZO – 5. PEÑA BIAFORE – 16. SEPÚLVEDA – 8. WATSON – 77. BESOZZI – 20. WLK
