Player ratings

Lucas Besozzi beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 40. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match

Lanús out of the cup

Ferro Carril Oeste ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

Lanús turn down Deportivo La Coruña for Yoshan Valois

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Yoshan Valois, 21, steals the show — 8.10

Marked 8.10 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

Nahuel Losada in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Lanús this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Agustín Cardozo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Carlos Izquierdoz

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Lanús get the job done against Independiente

A 1‑0 win over Independiente, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Felipe Peña Biafore

Defensive actions: 17. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

In brief

  • Boardroom Doors closed at Lanús
  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • The dugout The form table has caught Alejandro Silva

Market

Lanús turn down Morelia for Lucas Besozzi

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Raúl Loaiza has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Lanús they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom

Allam Wlk signs for Tigre while still at Lanús

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Allam Wlk has agreed terms with Tigre for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Tempers go at Lanús

Nahuel Losada 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.

Boardroom

Lanús agree a free transfer for Mathías de Ritis

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Squad

Words at Lanús training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dante Blanco 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Franco Petroli

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Franco Petroli, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Marcelino Moreno was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Gonzalo Pérez

7.40, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Lanús had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

In brief

  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Alejandro Silva
  • Market Lanús bring in an old head
