Argentine club Lanus wins Copa Sudamericana after three penalty saves by Losada
ASUNCI0N, Paraguay (AP) --- Goalkeeper Nahuel Losada saved three penalties to
help Argentine club Lanus beat Brazil's Atletico Minero 5-4 in a shootout on
Saturday to win the Copa Sudamericana for the second time.
Lanus, which also won the tournament in 2013, became the sixth team to have won
the Sudamericana twice.
Carlos Izquierdoz, Sasha Marcich, Dylan Aquino, Agustn Cardozo and Franco
Watson scored their penalty kicks for Lanus.
The 32-year-old Losada stopped shots from Hulk, Gabriel Texeira and Vitor Hugo
to secure the win.
Argentine clubs have won 10 Sudamericana titles, including Racing Club's
success in 2024 after beating Cruzeiro in the final.
Lanus reached their third Copa Sudamericana final by defeating Universidad de
Chile 3-2 on aggregate in the semifinals. It had previously eliminated
Fluminense in the quarterfinals with a win at the Maracana stadium in Rio de
Janeiro and Central Crdoba on penalties in the round of 16.
