Belgrano Falls to Lanús: League Cup Disappointment

Belgrano once again paid dearly for its mistakes in the background and lost this Wednesday at home 1-0 against Lanús. El Granate, led by Ricardo Zielinski, took full advantage of the opportunity they had due to a poor celestial start and, thanks to the goal scored by Walter Bou in the 32nd minute of the complement, they took the three points.

The match was valid for date 11 of Zone B of the League Cup, which was played at the Gigante de Alberdi, it was the debut as interim coach of Norberto “Beto” Fernández on the celestial bench, after the resignation of Guillermo Farré.

Celeste’s campaign now marks that it added only 8 points in 11 games and is second to last in its area, very far from the campaign that the Pirate planned to have. Meanwhile, Lanús now has 22 points and remains behind leader Godoy Cruz.

The match

The game started even, with Belgrano looking to win with the climbs of Barinaga and Lancioni. Passerini had a couple of chances, but his shot went over the crossbar. Lencioni also had a left foot shot aimed at goal, but Acosta blocked it.

The wind blows strongly and is a complication when it comes to seeking precision for both teams.

Barinaga also had his attempt with a mid-range shot, but was met with another good response from the Lanús goalkeeper. Meanwhile, Grana was stopped trying to surprise on the counterattack. But it seemed to depend more on a mistake in Belgrano’s start than on his own merit.

And that happened at 37, when Moreno appeared on the scene and looked for Bou’s run. His cross shot missed the far post.

At 40, a bad clearance by Moreno left the ball served to Loaiza. His left-footed volley went wide of the far post.

At the end of the stage, a blooper from Acosta gave Lanús a big scare.

THE SECOND TIME

For the second part, “Beto” Fernández opted for the entry of Matías Suárez for Lencioni.

A controversy arose when the ball clearly hit the hand of a Lanús defender, but the referee Merlos considered that it was not a penalty. All of Belgrano protested.

One of Belgrano’s best actions occurred at 19 minutes, when Passerini lowered the ball to Matías Suárez. Almost.

When the Pirate seemed closer to opening the scoring, the back made a rude mistake deep down and gave an opportunity to Bou, who did not waste it and, in the 32nd minute, made it 1-0 for the visit.

The formations

The previous

To the “strange landscape” that it will be to see the local substitute bench without Farré, it will be added that his former coach Ricardo Zielinski will once again be in the visitor’s position, who will arrive driving to Lanús.

But, in addition, Norberto Fernández will have his first opportunity in the senior squad, who last year had a great campaign with the Reserve and, in 2024, was undefeated until he took over in the First Division.

The intention behind closed doors is a change that gives the team a little more confidence, but especially dynamism and rhythm. It was reflected in the results achieved to date 10 that what had been done until the meeting in Santiago del Estero had not been the best.

The “B” comes into this match with eight points in 11 games, with only one win so far this year and without having managed to keep a clean sheet in any of the games they played, including the friendlies.

Fernández was called to put the squad on his shoulder for this commitment and although the leaders assure that who will be the coach for the remainder of the season may soon be in place, “Beto” is clear that his place is interim, because that is how it is. Gerardo Alfaro (technical secretary of the team) communicated when he spoke with him to take charge. But he also knows that, if the new coach is not defined, he will continue in this role until further notice.

His game

Norberto Fernández, the coach of the Belgrano Reserve who took charge of the main team (Prensa Belgrano).

Regarding the way in which the coach wants to play this game, he said at a press conference: “We like to be the protagonist. We want a team that is going to look for the game. Propose a team that is offensive. Let him search. “It happened to us in reserve.”

The mood was key throughout the days of preparation for this match because the team had been hit by distractions, the lack of security to sustain a positive result and not knowing how to take care of a minimum advantage.

The “B” was winning in the matches with San Lorenzo (1 to 1), Platense, (1 to 1), Talleres (2 to 2), Boca (2 to 3) and Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero (2 to 2 ). Only the match with Sarmiento was the game that could reverse a result and the only one they won that year (4 to 1).

Beto also said a few days ago: “The leadership will seek the best for Belgrano. They have that freedom. We are calm. We are convinced that we are prepared for this. Not for me, but for the work team. Which is very good.”

El Pirata faces this match in penultimate place in the group with eight points in the League Cup and in the annual table they are 25th out of 28 teams, so they need to start to get out of being poor and settle in to face the rest of the season. In addition to taking a serious look at his time in the Sudamericana, he has not played for eight years.

For its part, Lanús has just beaten Tigre 3 to 2 as a visitor and is in second place in the Zone B table, five points behind Godoy Cruz, the absolute leader. It will be a match full of spices because both need to add, for different objectives, but with a lot of value in each point at stake.
