The tie did not sit well with either of them. Lanús was third with 27 points, while Banfield tied his ninth equality in the tournament and has 15 units.
The start was intense but balanced, as both teams tried to impose high pressure not to allow the clear exit of the rival. Within that panorama, Lanús generated the first emotion when Bernabei executed a corner kick that headed Burdisso downwards and the ball crashed into the base of the right spout of Altamirano’s goal, which he then managed to contain on the line, at 7 minutes .
After a slight predominance of the premises, Banfield affirmed better in the game, although without being able to formulate clear situations to mark the opening; while Lanús tried to come out with quick replies that did not have a happy culmination due to the good work of Maldonado and Lollo in the Banfileño background.
Then the fight was located in the center of the field, where both teams fought to gain control of the ball with some marks such as the one arranged by Luis Zubeldia, who asked Belmonte not to let Galoppo think.
While Sanguinetti watched with pleasure how Domingo, with his experience, seized the middle of the field and pushed the lines of his team towards the Lanús goalkeeper.
Thus, at 43 minutes, Domingo showed his handling of the ball, changed front to Urzi who “killed” her and threw a center almost from a hole so that Juan Manuel Cruz, with a head, scored his sixth goal with a lot of nose to be in the right place.
At the end of the first half, Zubeldia asked both his players and the “garnet” public to calm down, upset with the partial defeat. One of the recipients of the DT’s message was “Laucha” Acosta, who spent part of the last minutes trying to anger and get rid of the youthful Ríos and Quinteros de Banfield, although he did not succeed.
At the beginning of the second half, Lanús tried to pressure, but Banfield took over the middle. The “Garnet” arrived at 8 minutes, when a long and rainy center from Malcorra was not intercepted by Altamirano, Burdisso headed in and Lollo came to save on the line.
At 18 minutes Malcorra, turned into the most aggressive player in Lanús and the one who provided the most balls to Sand and López, got a good overflow that the Corrientes pushed, but a saving clearance came from a defender of the “Drill”.
Inexplicably, Zubeldia brought out Malcorra, the best of Lanús, to put “Pepo” de la Vega, requested by the entire stadium, when the moment of “Garnet” requested the presence of the two on the playing field. And in turn Sanguinetti, to maintain the advantage, offered a tactical change with the entry of defender Tanco through midfielder Ríos, to form a line of five in the background.
At 38m, a front center from Lanús had a blunder from Lollo, which the goalkeeper Altamirano with a saving touch prevented from becoming the “Garnet” tie. It was a warning. Because three minutes later Sand and López put together a barbaric wall that the youngest Corrientes masterfully defined with a downward volley that left the visiting goalkeeper without a chance.
