José Sand scored 1-1 for Lanús against Boca Juniors for the Professional League Cup | VIDEO

Boca Juniors took the lead in the match against Lanús with a goal from Sebastián Villa after 5 minutes. However, the ‘Granate’ did not give up and quickly found the tie to the surprise of the ‘Xeneizes’ fans at the La Bombonera Stadium.

At minute 25, Acosta sent a filtered pass to Aguirre, however, goalkeeper García came out in a hurry and blocked the player in the area. However, the ball was loose and José Sand, who was unmarked, defined at will with an empty goal.

But, the line judge annulled the goal since he considered that Pepe was in an advanced position. However, after several minutes for the VAR review, the referee validated the goal and unleashed the uproar of the Lanús players.

Boca Juniors and Lanús: what’s to come

After this match, Boca Juniors will play again at La Bombonera when they host Godoy Cruz on Wednesday, April 20, starting at 10:30 a.m. With the goal of catching up with Estudiantes de La Plata, who remain at the top, the ‘Blue and Gold’ team have the obligation to continue winning at home.

For now, while Sebastián Battaglia plans what is coming for his team in the Copa Libertadores –on matchday three they will face Corinthians–, he will seek to find a better collective performance in the matches that remain in the local tournament.

Lanús, meanwhile, will host Rosario Central looking to get out of the Zone B queue. Although they got a great result in the Copa Sudamericana by defeating Barcelona SC 3-1, Almirón is aware that he cannot be careless in the Copa de the Professional League because it could be very relegated when you least expect it.
