Tigre told by AFA to give Lanús same guard of honour amid row | OneFootball

The incident that took place at the Gigante de Arroyito last Sunday continues to generate controversy. Estudiantes de La Plata was forced by AFA to form a guard of honor for Rosario Central for controversially being crowned champions of the annual table.

Once the group stage of the Clausura ended, on Thursday, November 20, it was decided at the Viamonte headquarters that the Rosario team should be the league champion for being the leader of the annual table. Estudiantes immediately responded virtually, and before their round of 16 match, they chose to turn their backs on the Central squad as a form of protest.

The image went around the world and remains a hot topic in Argentine football. In fact, this Wednesday there will be another guard of honor during the Clausura Tournament, but this time without sparking the controversy that the one between Estudiantes and Rosario Central generated.

This Wednesday, at 21:30, Lanús will host Tigre to close the round of 16 of the Clausura playoffs. For this match, AFA informed both teams that a guard of honor will be held for the title won last weekend by the Granate in the Copa Sudamericana final against Atlético Mineiro.

Thus, after all the controversy left by the episode between Estudiantes and Rosario Central, which promises to be a chapter in the history of Argentine football, just three days later there will be a new guard of honor from Tigre to Lanús. In this case, without major controversies due to the title won by Mauricio Pellegrino's team.

Lanús will play in the Copa Libertadores and the Recopa Sudamericana

With the victory against Atlético Mineiro, Lanús was crowned champion of the Copa Sudamericana and thus guaranteed its participation in next year's editions of the Copa Libertadores and the Recopa Sudamericana (in the latter, they await an opponent, which will come from the 2025 Copa Libertadores Final between Palmeiras and Flamengo next Saturday, November 29, at the Estadio Monumental in Lima).
