The Apertura 2007 is over and Lanus is the worthy champion. An irregular tournament that witnessed 3 small teams ending at the top of the table.
Who remembers today the South West derby played for Round 5, between Banfield and Lanus? As all derbies, it was a 6 point game. The curiosity is that it probably was the most important derby played between these 2 teams ... it defined the Champion of the tournament. And it was one of the best games of the entire tournament.
Had Banfield won the game, which they deserved, it would had meant that both Banfield and Lanus would had needed to play an extra game to define the title of the Apertura. The 2 historic rivals from the South West tied at 35 points. Tigre, the lone North representative in 1st Division, a point short with 34.
How much more frustration could the Banfield fans feel with Javier Collado every time thay remember the game? Diego Herner was red carded in the 27th of the first half ... a drastic red that changed the momentum of the game. Banfield was up 1-0 thanx to a pk from Luccetti. Then came Sand who started to write his heroe pages for Lanus. Two goals ala Van Basten. In between and after, Banfield spilled chances over and over ...
Tuesday August 28th, 2007. A date that should be remembered in the 195 years of history of these two clubs. It defined who rules for the next 6 months the South West ... and the national champion.
