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

The Buenos Aires side, who had already withstood the blows against Fluminense in Brazil, endured the stones in Santiago and came away with a bittersweet 2-2 draw after scoring the first two goals of the match, thanks to a brace from Rodrigo Castillo.

The major controversy of the match came near the end, when referee Anderson Daronco awarded a penalty to Azul Azul, which Charles Aranguiz ultimately converted into a goal. Now, in a fortress dyed exclusively 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 allowed to attend, and anyone who tries to watch the match and is detected will be banned throughout the province of Buenos Aires, according to APreViDe.

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

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