Lanús advance amid shoving, brawl and anger | OneFootball

Seconds after Lanús secured their spot in the Copa Sudamericana final by defeating U de Chile 1-0 in the second leg of the semifinals, the Granate players and the Chileans were involved in a brawl that marred the sporting event.

Towards the end of the match, forward Leandro Fernández had an altercation with a Lanús player. "Come on, coward," the Chilean team's attacker was seen saying, although the cameras did not show who the message was directed at.

The truth is that the end of the match was heated, especially after a game that featured two disallowed goals—one for each side—and a controversial handball by Eduardo Salvio in the play leading up to Rodrigo Castillo's goal that was not penalized by the referee. Thus, tensions were high as the match drew to a close.

While the fans celebrated the end of the match, the players on the field began shoving each other. The Granate goalkeeper, Nahuel Losada, grabbed a Chilean player by the neck, while Fernández was restrained by his teammates as he attempted to fight with the opponents.

Fortunately, the situation did not escalate further and, after a few minutes of tension, the Chileans withdrew and the Argentinians focused on celebrating. Nevertheless, the fear of a sanction from the referee in his final report puts Lanús on alert, with the possibility of losing players before the match on November 22, as they seek their second Copa Sudamericana title.
