Lanús squandered a two-goal lead on Thursday and Platense, in a heroic comeback in the last seven minutes, snatched a 3-3 draw at the “La Fortaleza” stadium, which complicated “Garnet” in their goal of qualifying for the Copa Libertadores 2022, in continuity with date 22 of the Professional League.
It was all favorable for those led by Luis Zubeldia, because after a locked first half in which they finished 1-1 (goals from Guillermo Burdisso and Matías Tissera from penalties), he managed to twist the balance in the complement through his scorers José López and José Sand.
But in the last eight minutes, the “Squid”, who from the leadership of Claudio Spontón washed his face and achieved important results, reached equality thanks to the opportunism of Horacio Tijanovich -after a rude error by goalkeeper Lautaro Morales- and a header from Tissera.
Thus, Lanús was left with 55 points in the annual table, five from Talleres de Córdoba, the last one that would be classifying Libertadores 2022, while Platense continues to increase its average for next season, when the declines will return.
After that furious start in the second half, nothing led to the end of the game, because Zubeldia, with his changes, ended up pushing his team into a defensive posture.
It is true that Morales’ error conditioned the closure, because it gave Platense the courage to go looking for him after the two blows from Corrientes by López and Sand.
Platense took a heroic draw due to the context and how the second half was presented uphill, while Lanús will probably regret the two points he left on the road.
