Lanús
Always ReadyOutstanding performance
Lanús•AttackerLanús secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Always Ready in Copa Libertadores action through substitute Yoshan Valois' close-range finish 21 minutes after entering the match. The Argentine hosts dominated proceedings from the opening whistle, controlling 65% possession and unleashing 26 shots compared to Always Ready's meager five, with the Bolivian visitors managing just one effort on target. Lanús' profligacy in front of goal nearly proved costly as they spurned four big chances before finally breaking through via a well-worked set piece that saw Marcelino Moreno's initial effort saved before Valois pounced on the rebound. The result maintains Lanús' continental ambitions while Always Ready's defensive approach ultimately fell short despite goalkeeper Alain Baroja's heroics with six saves throughout the evening.
