Match

A European lesson for Lanús

0‑1 against Defensa y Justicia. Continental football is unforgiving about the things a domestic league lets a side get away with, and this was a night spent finding out which of those the club still has.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 11 of the 35 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Market

FC Cincinnati come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Lanús did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

A chastening introduction for Benjamín Sand — 5.80

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.80 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad

Words at Lanús training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Agustín Cardozo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Tempers go at Lanús

Ramiro Carrera was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Ramiro Carrera runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Unión de Santa Fe take the points off Lanús

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Marcelino Moreno gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief
