Buenos Aires, November 22 (NA) – Lanús became the new Copa Sudamericana champion after defeating Atlético Mineiro 5-4 on penalties following a 0-0 draw.
After a long penalty shootout where Carlos Izquierdoz, Sasha Marcich, Dylan Aquino, Agustín Cardozo, and Franco Watson scored for the "Granate," the standout player was Nahuel Losada, as reported by the Argentine News Agency.
The Lanús goalkeeper saved his team throughout the 90 minutes with many crucial saves and also stopped the final penalty from Vitor Hugo, securing the championship for Mauricio Pellegrino's team.
In Asunción, an Argentine team has once again won the Copa Sudamericana, just as Racing did in 2024, and this time, it is the "Granate" who are champions, also earning a spot in the 2026 Copa Libertadores.
