Match report

Lanús fell to a 0:1 defeat against Instituto Córdoba in the third round of the Clausura section of the Argentine Professional League on Sunday night. The visitors snatched victory in stoppage time through F. R. Alarcon, a result that leaves the hosts sixth and Instituto ninth in the standings after sixteen matches each.

The match settled into a physical pattern early, with J. Galvan receiving the first yellow card in the tenth minute. Lanús controlled possession at 62 per cent but struggled to turn that dominance into clear openings, while Instituto worked a short corner routine in the opening exchanges and looked comfortable sitting deeper. By then the game had settled into a rhythm that suited the away side's approach.

Substitutions began on the hour mark, with Lanús bringing on L. Besozzi in the sixty-first minute. Instituto responded at the same stage, introducing A. Wlk and J. E. Cordoba Mosquera as they looked to protect their lead. The hosts pushed for an equaliser but the line had barely moved, and the visitors were content to weather the pressure.

Statistics tell a story of missed opportunity for the home side. Lanús registered seven shots off target and three on target, while Instituto found the mark seven times from six off-target efforts. The visitors created more with less possession, and their expected goals figure of 1.19 compared to Lanús's 0.71 suggests the scoreline reflected the chances more accurately than the possession numbers.

The result ended Lanús's run of two wins in their last five matches, and they now sit three points above Instituto. The visitors have lost seven of sixteen games this season but have shown they can spring a surprise against stronger opposition. The table goes out of the window in these games, and Instituto proved that point with a result earned through patience and a moment of quality.
