First Half: Tight and tactical

Both teams began cautiously, with Lanús enjoying the better possession but finding Mirassol’s three‑man central defense difficult to penetrate. The best chance of the opening period fell to José López in the 28th minute, but his header from a corner was cleared off the line by a covering defender.

Second Half: Decisive moment

Midfielder Tomás Belmonte released winger Pedro de la Vega down the right flank; his low cross was met by Franco Troyansky, who steered the ball past the advancing goalkeeper from eight yards out.

• Disciplined defense: Lanús’s back four, marshaled by Matías Pérez, snuffed out Mirassol’s aerial threat, winning every key header in the final 15 minutes.
