It’s 2 wins from 2 for Newell’s Old Boys in the Copa de la Liga thanks to Cristian Ferreira’s unforgettable goal after 5 minutes in Saturday night’s home game against Lanús.
Ferreira picked the ball up in his own-half and ran all the way to the opposition box before flicking the ball into the net with the help of former Newell’s defender Cristian Lema who seemed to get the last touch.
That was the only goal of the game although Brian Aguirre did go close on a number of occasions for The Lepers.
Both teams ended with 10 men after Ferreira received a second yellow for not leaving the field of play fast enough during a substitution while José Canale was given his marching orders late on for an elbow on Aguirre.
Watch the highlights of the match below.
