U de Chile and Lanús: everything to be decided at La Fortaleza

The 2025 Copa Sudamericana semifinal series reaches its decisive moment. After a 2-2 draw in the first leg in Santiago, Universidad de Chile must face Lanús in Buenos Aires with the urgent need for a victory to advance to the final.

The first match offered mixed emotions: Rodrigo Castillo scored twice to put the Argentine team ahead, but the ‘Bulla’ responded with goals from Lucas Di Yorio and Charles Aránguiz. Now, everything will be played in a hostile environment, where the locals will aim to leverage the support of their fans and the pressure of the moment.

Possible scenarios: win, draw, or loss

If La U loses in Buenos Aires, they will be eliminated and their continental dream shattered. A draw, however, would take the series to penalties, as there is no extra time in this stage according to CONMEBOL rules.

A victory for the Chilean side would not only mean advancing to the final but also dealing a psychological blow to Lanús and its supporters. Should they succeed, their opponent in the final will be Atlético Mineiro, the powerful Brazilian club that eliminated Independiente del Valle in the other semifinal.

Every outcome will shape the story of this tie, with U de Chile needing to maintain focus and composure against an opponent playing with intensity and backed by a full stadium.

The semifinal is shaping up as a high-tension encounter, where every detail can determine Universidad de Chile’s future in the 2025 Copa Sudamericana. With everything at stake at La Fortaleza, fans expect a match full of emotion and drama, capable of being remembered in the history of the Chilean club.
