“Allan Wlk opens the scoring after Riestra had already tested the Lanús goal twice, converting from an Eduardo Salvio assist.”
Pivotal“Allan Wlk doubles his tally and Lanús' lead, again teed up by Eduardo Salvio, after a spell of pressure including a corner and a near-miss from Tomas Gonzalez.”
Pivotal“Felipe Peña Biafore adds a third for Lanús from a Matias Sepulveda assist, capping off a dominant closing period after a flurry of corners and a header off target.”
Deportivo Riestra
Lanús
Outstanding performance
Lanús•AttackerLanús controlled the game through possession and patience, racking up 63% of the ball and 527 passes at 77% accuracy, while letting Riestra do the running with 23 shots but only six on target. Allan Wlk was the difference-maker, converting two clear chances created off Eduardo Salvio service either side of halftime, and Felipe Peña Biafore added gloss late on despite picking up a first-half yellow card. Riestra pressed hard defensively, winning more tackles and committing far more fouls (18 to 8), but their final ball let them down repeatedly, wasting a big chance and failing to test Lanús keeper beyond six shots on target. The result keeps Lanús firmly in the mix for their title-race ambitions, while Riestra's inefficiency in front of goal will be a concern heading into their next fixtures despite generating plenty of attacking volume.

Deportivo Riestra host Lanús in a Clausura clash between two mid-table sides desperate to climb into playoff contention. Riestra's recent form has been alarming, but they've historically had the better of this fledgling rivalry, including a scoreless draw the last time these sides met.
