Lanús beat Gimnasia 2-0 and was the only leader of the tournament until this Thursday Estudiantes, Talleres and Aldosivi take to the field. And that the
Garnet
is the absolute leader speaks very well of the institution of the South, which is constantly renewed promoting youth, and a little bad of the level of the tournament, because the
top team
in just eight days has already suffered two painful defeats (3-0 against River and 5-1 against Vélez).
It may have happened that the viewer has experienced a kind of déjà vu when observing the first quarter of an hour of the duel.
And the thing is that, first,
Pulga
Rodríguez was nowhere from making exactly the same goal
-heading and placing- that he did to River days ago, only this time goalkeeper Lucas Acosta flew a little more than Franco Armani and managed to stay with the ball that carried angle destination;
and a while later, at 15 minutes, striker
José Manuel López
rose higher than anyone at the penalty spot to hit a corner kick taken by
Alexander Bernabei
from the left, in a play that was very similar to the goals that the 20-year-old from Corrientes himself scored against Godoy Cruz and Atlético Tucumán in this same tournament.

They left him alone!

So,
due to López's effectiveness, Lanús won.
And also due to another recurring action: the Colombian
Carbonero hit Belmonte
, who had taken it from the shirt, and Nazareno Arasa showed him the red one.
The play was similar to the one that Jorge Carrascal (yes, another wayward born in Colombia) starred in a River-Banfield last year.
The blow of the expulsion was double for the
Wolf
because not only did he lose a man, but he was left without the footballer who was performing the best.
They were 27 minutes from the initial stage.

Unusual expulsion!
Belmonte stopped Carbonero's attack and the Colombian reacted with a blow.
Arasa took the direct red from him and Gimnasia was left with ten players.

Gymnastics was uncomfortable with the duel and Lanús quite the opposite: on the visit, outside,
Lautaro Acosta and Angel González
, two sprinters by nature, played.
Thus, each free kick in favor of Gimnasia was a possibility of going against for the locals.
He hinted a couple of times until Bernabei managed to put González to run and the midfielder did not fail in hand-to-hand with Rey: he defined by opening his foot to the goalkeeper's left post.
2-0 before the end of the first half
.
And party liquidated, of course.

A lethal counter!
Bernabei played it fast forward and Ángel González, hand in hand with Rey, put it against a stick.

Messera and Martini put together a 4-4-1 for the complement with the intention of not conceding more goals.
Lobo
achieved it
because he defended well and because
the Lanús players were infatuated with looking for the goal of the eternal José Sand
so that he continues to add in the scorers' table.
But it was not the afternoon of the 41-year-old from Corrientes, who did not have any situation and that is why the game ended 2-0.
