Leandro Díaz (13m PT) opened the account for “Pincha” and Ignacio Malcorra tied it, from a penalty (45m PT).
Both are still in the qualifying zone for the Copa Sudamericana, but the draw did not serve them for the objective they share: to get into positions of Libertadores. The “Grana”, in addition, with a victory would have become a new escort.
Estudiantes, who had been driven by the very good draw against River (which he was also close to beating), now has eight games without victories (six “tables” and two defeats). Lanús, on the other hand, accumulates five without losing (two wins and three equalities).
Not much had happened when Estudiantes got ahead in the result, at 13 minutes: Godoy sent a side to the area, Burdisso cleared short and Leandro Díaz, with a first-rate right hand, beat Morales to put the 1-0.
It was the forward’s second consecutive goal, after scoring the celebrated 1 to 1 of last date against River.
Lanús later had an almost monopoly dominance of the ball, but it was repeated with the attempts on the left and did not generate risk in the goal of Andújar, as if he missed his eternal scorer “Pepe” Sand, absent after catching the coronavirus.
Estudiantes managed to impose the conditions of the game and seemed to control the result, but when the stage ended, Esquivel finished off the goal, the ball hit Ayala’s hand inside the area and the referee Patricio Loustau correctly marked the penalty.
Malcorra did not fail: he put the shot down to the right of Andújar, who went to the other side, and scored the tie before the break.
Although in the second half the attitude of each one was accentuated, Lanús with the ball, Students waiting, it was the visitor who best interpreted the weaknesses of the rival. Thus he generated two good chances in the first quarter of an hour: a shot from Del Prete just off the mark and a shot from Pellegrini that, from the penalty spot, hit the middle of the goal and facilitated Morales’s reaction.
The “Pincha” followed better and was close to opening the scoring at 25m, with a header from Díaz barely deflected after a cross from Aguirregaray; and Lanús finally responded a minute later with a double possibility: a shot by “Paloma” Pérez that Andújar took and, from the back corner, a solitary tackle by López that he defined incredibly over the crossbar.
The venue was somewhat better in the last quarter of an hour, when “Pincha” definitely bet on the counterattack. But it was not one or the other (Andújar saved his bow on the hour in a free kick from Malcorra) and the tie ended up being a deserved distribution.
On the next date, the 21st, Lanús will visit the Board of Trustees in Paraná and Estudiantes will receive Huracán in La Plata.
