Overview
- The Argentine side advanced 2–1 on aggregate after drawing 1–1 with Fluminense at the Maracanã.
- Agustín Canobbio put Fluminense ahead before halftime, and Walter Bou’s substitute partner Augusto Aquino leveled after the delay to seal Lanús’ progression.
- The second half was held up when a confrontation erupted in the away sector, with videos showing police using batons and tear gas and reports of injured Lanús supporters.
- Rio’s military police, cited by SBT, said the trouble began among visiting fans, a claim disputed by supporter accounts circulating online.
- Venezuelan referee Jesús Valenzuela handled the match, and pre‑game ceremonies were marred by a Lanús plaque that mistakenly displayed the crest of Independência, a club from Acre.
