Racing’s friendly with Lanús was the last of the preseason. The one who closed this preparation already thinking about the 2024 League Cup. However, the result was not what was expected and after two games where a clean sheet had been kept, the goals against appeared. It was a 2-0 defeat for Acadé against Lanús as a visitor. A match in which the score could not be broken in the rival goal and they suffered in their own goal. The absence of Roger Martínez was important, but there were also positive things such as the appearance of Johan Carbonero and Santiago Sosa.
The first half did not start in the best way for the Academy in their last match of the preseason. Although in the first minutes they were not able to take advantage, 25 minutes into the initial stage Boggio appeared to score the 1-0 for Grana. Result that he maintained and with which he went to rest. It was a bit of a liar, because the Academy also attacked and forced good saves from Lucas Acosta, one of the best on the field along with Nery Domínguez and the scorer of the goal.
The plugin started with a change that at least caught attention. Was the departure of Gabriel Arias and in his place Facundo Cambeses entered, who was with the starters for the first time. A clear message also that the dispute was even. And then other variants came to give other players a chance to shoot. The good news is that Johan Carbonero and Santiago Sosa added 25 minutes, who are beginning to dream of being against Unión. With them on the field, at 30 from ST, Grana’s second goal came through Luciatti. Once again from a dead ball: a header coming off a corner kick.
The formations of the two teams and how the match was played
Racing’s formation in this first friendly with Lanús will be: Arias; Martirena, Rubio, Quirós, Rojas; Miranda, Almendra, Gómez; Quintero, Adrián Martínez and Santiago Solari. For its part, Grana will go with Lucas Acosta; Juan José Cáceres, Abel Luciatti, Nery Domínguez, Braian Aguirre; Luciano Boggio, Gonzalo Pérez, Raúl Loaiza; Ramiro Carrera, Augusto Lotti and Marcelino Moreno.

This Saturday’s game that the Academy played on its last day of preseason started at 9:20. Unlike the two previous matches, this one was played as a visitor. The two teams met on the Grana field and two halves of 40 minutes each were played.
The casualties that Costas had for Racing’s friendly with Lanús
In this preparatory friendly that Racing played against Lanús as a visitor, a key player was missing. We are talking about Leo Sigali. It should be noted that the Bear suffered a contracture in the first preparation match against Almirante Brown. The center back is a determining piece for Gustavo Costas and we will have to see if he makes his debut against Unión in the League Cup. A tournament that already has a confirmed date and time for the first six games so planning can begin. But he was not the only one absent. Another important one is Roger Martínez, who finished the first half loaded with Godoy Cruz and they don’t want to risk him.

The truth is that Nazareno Colombo suffered a serious injury in the middle of the Academy’s preseason. He was not in any of the other two friendlies and also lost half of the League Cup. Hard news for the coach who had it very much in mind. Others who were not there were Brunu Zuculini and Santiago Sosa, who are still undergoing conditioning. The good news was Johan Carbonero. For the first time since Gustavo Costas was here, the Colombian had minutes and went into action. He is another one who they intend to increase loads little by little.
