After the 2-0 away win in Paraguay, there was a 1-1 win in Brazil for the host to get into the top four of the competition; The Guaraní goal was from Roque Santa Cruz, who broke a record, and Argentine Lucas Romero saw the red.
Lanús confirmed this Thursday that Cruzeiro will be its rival in the semifinals of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana: the Brazilian team drew 1-1 in Mineirao with Libertad and, after the 2-0 they had achieved in Paraguay in the first leg, sealed their ticket.
At 12 minutes into the first half, local player Kaio Jorge opened the scoring with a header, further away on the overall score. However, the evening became a little complicated after 14 minutes of the second half, when Argentine Lucas Romero saw the second yellow card and left the Brazilians with 10.
Likewise, Daniel Garnero’s team failed to take advantage of the numerical superiority and only reached a tie at 27 through the historic Roque Santa Cruz, who entered the complement: the Paraguayan, at 43 years old, became the oldest scorer in history of the competition, beating the Uruguayan Richard Pellejero by 10 days.
