Analysis The numbers behind the result
Lanus clinical in finishing as Riestra squander chances
Lanus deserved their 3-0 victory, emerging as the more clinical side despite Deportivo Riestra creating double the opportunities. Riestra registered 23 total shots to Lanus' 11, with 6 on target for each team, but Lanus converted 3 of theirs while Riestra failed to find the net. Allan Steven Wlk Duré's brace in the 11th and 69th minutes, assisted both times by Eduardo Salvio, set the tone, before Felipe Peña Biafore added a third in the 74th minute. Lanus' efficiency in front of goal was decisive.
Tactically, Lanus controlled the game with 63% possession and completed 406 accurate passes compared to Riestra's 192. However, Riestra's attack was more active, with 13 shots inside the box to Lanus' 9. Despite their dominance in chance creation, Riestra lacked precision, with 10 shots blocked and 7 off target. Lanus, meanwhile, were compact defensively, conceding just 4 corners and committing only 8 fouls.
The key stat explaining the outcome is Riestra's inefficiency in front of goal: a staggering 10 blocked shots and 7 off target, highlighting their inability to convert dominance into tangible results.
