Copa Libertadores Review: Lanus score five as Chapecoense draw

Lanus put five past Zulia as Chapecoense were
held by Nacional in the Copa Libertadores on
Tuesday.
Lautaro Acosta, Jose Sand, German Denis,
Alejandro Silva and Nicolas Pasquini were on
target in Lanus' 5-0 rout of visiting Zulia.
Acosta opened the scoring in the fifth minute,
nipping in front of his opponent to poke the ball
past Renny Vega at Estadio Ciudad de Lanus.
Lanus piled on the goals in the second half, scoring
four from the 47th minute onwards as the Argentine
outfit moved top of Group 7 following the 1-1 draw
between Chapecoense and Nacional.

Grief-stricken Chapecoense were riding an eight-
game winning streak in all competitions before
kick-off, having won the second stage of Santa
Catarina's state championship on Sunday.
Chapecoense claimed their first title since last
November's tragic plane crash, which killed 71
people on board en route to Medellin for the first
leg of the Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico
Nacional.
Reinaldo - who scored against Joinville on the
weekend - broke the deadlock from the penalty
spot in the 10th minute, much to the delight of the
home faithful.

But Chapecoense were pegged back four minutes
before half-time when Hugo Silveira equalised for
the Uruguayan visitors.
