Lanús won its first match and left Tigre on the verge of relegation

Lanús achieved the first victory in 10 dates of the Professional League Cup by beating Tigre at home by 2 to 1 and surpassing its rival in the standings of Zone Balso complicating it with the possibility of relegation through the Annual Table, while with these three points he aspires to a place in next year’s Sudamericana.

The stories of both teams seemed to have the coaches invested, since Lanús was always characterized by good play, since the distant times of the “masons” Manuel Silva and Bernardo Acosta from the 60’s.

Instead Tiger It was more fight and forcefulness for many years, since the 1930s, with a relentless scorer who was blunt when it came to breaking rival networks like Bernabé Ferreyra, who has an unmatched record: he has more goals than games played.

However, today he directs “garnet” Ricardo Zielinskia technical director with a characterized conservative profile who, surely, due to managerial inconsistencies, after directing Estudiantes de La Plata he jumped to Independiente and now to Lanús, two “black palate” clubs.

And in Tiger this Lucas Pusineriwho already demonstrated it at Atlético Tucumán (he was also in the critical period of Independiente), is a technical director who prioritizes order and good play, always seeking to build forward through order.

Within that upside-down world, each team played tonight according to what their coaches preached and not their stories, and within that panorama the one that looked the best with the ball was Tiger by the hand of a Jose Paradela at a high level.

Of course, those from Victoria tend to forget at this moment about the League Cup and the new cycle of Pusineri after the departure of Diego Martinezin which he maintains the same style of good play as his previous coach, the front goal, and that is costing him too many points.

To such a point there are so many units that the Victoria team left behind that it is last in Zone B, relegated from today to that position precisely because Lanus, that by beating him he only added his first victory in the tournament on this tenth date.

And the big problem for Tiger is that it is just one point above Colon in the Annual Table, and the Santa Fe team (the technical director left Nestor Gorosito and it can come Israel Damonte) are the ones who are descending to the First National.

Instead to Lanus, With these three points, luck smiles on them again because they matched Argentinos Juniors and Racing Club with the same number of units, in the bid to capture the last place in the classification for the 2024 Copa Sudamericana.

And tonight in Lanus All of these situations were exposed in the practicality of the venue to define the match with a goal in each half, the first from a header. Lautaro Acostawho with his right index finger “shut up” the Barrabrava critic “Granate”, and the other from the former Racing Club, Juan Caceresin a “blackboard” play on a free throw.

The temperamental discount Abel Luciatti (he had to be sent off in the first half for an elbow that cut the face of the talented Pedro De la Vega) also with a header, it was clear proof of the difficulties that the “Matador” has in getting his forwards or offensive midfielders to score, which He has them, and very good ones. But they are very complicated like this.

“Zielinski is a technical director who works very well tactically and wants us to feel comfortable within the order that he instills in the team”“Laucha” Acosta said at the end of the match, after asking his teammates to raise their arms in farewell, greeting only the audience and not the stands where the bar was.
