How Lanús and U. de Chile arrive at the Copa Sudamericana clash

The Buenos Aires team, which had already withstood the blows against Fluminense in Brazil, endured the stones in Santiago and managed a 2-2 draw with a bitter taste after scoring the first two goals of the match, thanks to a double by Rodrigo Castillo.

The major controversy of the match came at the end when referee Anderson Daronco awarded a penalty to Azul Azul, which Charles Aranguiz eventually converted into a goal. Now, in a stadium exclusively colored in maroon, the team led by Mauricio Pellegrino will seek to reach the Sudamericana final for the third time in its history.

The Romántico Viajero will play on Argentine soil for the first time since the clash with Independiente that ended in chaos. On this occasion, their fans will not be able to attend, and anyone who attempts to watch the match and is detected will receive a ban throughout the province of Buenos Aires, as announced by APreViDe.

In terms of sports, U lost to Universidad Católica over the weekend, but that wasn't the only bad news, as during that classic, Lucas Assadi, one of Bulla's key players, got injured.

The winner of this match will advance to the final on Saturday, November 22, where they will face Atlético Mineiro, who recently eliminated Independiente del Valle in the semis by drawing 1-1 in the first leg in Ecuador and winning 3-1 in the return leg in Brazil.
