Laucha Acosta sets record: most appearances for Lanús, 427 matches | OneFootball

Laucha celebrated this new top milestone for the Granate institution.

In such a fast-paced and ever-changing Argentine football scene, where players rarely manage to surpass a hundred appearances for the same club, Lautaro Acosta's career at Lanús stands as a story worth telling.

When the ball started rolling at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanús-Néstor Díaz Pérez for the match against Godoy Cruz, the Granate heart experienced an unforgettable day. Lautaro "Laucha" Acosta etched his name in the living history of the club by becoming the player with the most matches played wearing the Lanús jersey.

With an impressive 427 appearances, Acosta surpassed the record previously held by the legendary Maximiliano Velázquez (426 matches). The milestone was achieved with the "seven" as captain and an undisputed starter in Mauricio Pellegrino's lineup. Just a few days earlier, Acosta had equaled the record in the 2-0 victory against Independiente.

The atmosphere in the stadium was filled with emotion: alongside the immense joy for "Laucha's" feat, there was a heartfelt tribute to the family members of Miguel Ángel Russo, a coach who left an indelible mark on the club.

The celebration for the record was complete. At the 7th minute of the match, the crowd erupted in a thunderous ovation, showering the captain with applause. The festivities extended beyond the stadium, where fireworks lit up the night to celebrate the idol's milestone. Even the jersey worn by the team that night featured a detail with a silhouette in recognition of the player. "I am very happy. What I am experiencing today is an immense pride. There is a huge amount of work behind it," Acosta expressed after reaching the record.
