Guillermo Barros Schelotto and his Lanús players will be disappointed to be heading to Montevideo next week without any advantage after dominating their Uruguayan opponents, Defensor Sporting on Thursday night. In what was a feisty match filled with forceful challenges, the home side carved out enough clear opportunities to claim a first-leg victory. However, wasteful finishing from Sergio González and Miguel Almirón cost El Granate and they must now at least earn a score draw in Uruguay to progress.
