Platense 0–1 Lanús | Liga Profesional de Fútbol | 17 October 2026

Result Summary

A solitary goal from Allam Steven Wlk Dure in the 29th minute proved enough for Lanús to claim all three points at Platense's ground, handing Mauricio Pellegrino's side a hard-fought but ultimately deserved victory. Despite Platense dominating large portions of the contest in terms of possession and volume of attempts, Martín Palermo's team were unable to convert their statistical superiority into goals.

Match Analysis

The game's decisive moment arrived just before the half-hour mark. Sasha Marcich — who began the night in goal for Lanús — provided the assist, and Wlk Dure finished clinically with his right foot to break the deadlock. It was a moment of efficiency that would define the entire contest.

From a statistical standpoint, Platense were the more active side throughout. They controlled 57% of possession compared to Lanús's 43%, generated 123 attacks to Lanús's 110, and registered 66 dangerous attacks versus 49 for the visitors. Most strikingly, Platense racked up 12 corners to Lanús's 5 and attempted 16 shots in total — 10 of which were off target — compared to Lanús's 9 attempts. However, both teams were level on shots on target (3 each), underscoring that Lanús were simply more clinical when their opportunities arose.

The discipline picture was relatively balanced. Early caution came for Platense's Víctor Leandro Cuesta in the 10th minute, while Matías Sepúlveda was booked for Lanús just before half-time. The second half brought further yellows for Platense's Tomás Silva (56') and Lanús's Diego Agustín Medina (58'), the latter departing late on via substitution.

Platense's bench was thrown into action heavily from the 58th minute onward, with Gonzalo Lencina, Juan Carlos Gauto, Franco Amarfil, Nicolás López Alonso, and Guido Mainero all introduced as Palermo searched for an equaliser. Lanús managed their lead astutely through their own changes, with Ramiro Carrera, Gonzalo Lobos, Yoshan Valois Murillo, Felipe Peña Biafore, and Nicolás Morgantini rotating in to see out the result. Notably, goal scorer Wlk Dure was withdrawn in the 74th minute after his pivotal contribution.

Platense's 79% successful pass rate and 7 key passes showed intent and quality in build-up, yet their 3 offsides and inability to hit the target more consistently highlighted the wasteful edge that ultimately cost them.

• Wlk Dure was the difference-maker, converting the match's only genuine moment of clinical quality.
• Platense's 12 corners and territorial dominance ultimately counted for nothing without a composed finish.
