Goalkeeper Nahuel Losada has saved three penalties to help Argentine club Lanus beat Brazil’s Atletico Minero 5-4 in a shootout in the Copa Sudamericana final
ASUNCIÓN, 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, AgustÃn 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 Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro and Central Córdoba on penalties in the round of 16.
