Argentinos Juniors vs Lanús

Argentinos Juniors made it six unbeaten with a clinical second-half display, beating Lanús 2-1 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. Hernán López Muñoz broke the deadlock on 52 minutes, pouncing after a scramble in the box to fire the hosts ahead. Argentinos doubled their lead eight minutes later when Nicolás Oroz coolly converted from the penalty spot after VAR caught a handball by Tomás Guidara. Lanús gave themselves a lifeline through Ramiro Carrera in the 84th minute, but it was too little, too late to mount a real comeback. The victory lifts Argentinos to seventh in Zone B on 17 points from 11 games as they eye a playoff push. Lanús, despite their recent Recopa Sudamericana glory, slip to a third away defeat and sit fourth in Zone A on 18 points.
