The match was completely dominated by the Tricolor from the start.
After creating several good chances, Fluminense opened the scoring with a stunning goal by Canobbio, who volleyed the ball in from the six-yard box.
The team from Rio also hit the post with a shot from Samuel Xavier in the first half.
At halftime, a major altercation between the police and Lanús supporters delayed the start of the second half by almost 30 minutes.
Finally, after a miracle save by goalkeeper Losada and Freytes missing a goal right in front of the net, Lanús managed to equalize.
On a counterattack that featured every possible defensive error, Aquino exchanged passes with Marcelino Moreno and secured the Argentine side’s spot in the semifinals.
