Lanús vs Fluminense Semifinal: Copa Sudamericana 2025 Date, TV Guide and Dramatic Highlights

Match overview and key moments

On September 23, 2025, the Maracanã Stadium became the backdrop for one of the most talked‑about ties in South American football. Lanús arrived in Rio needing to overturn a 1‑0 deficit from the first leg, while Fluminense looked to protect that narrow lead and book a place in the Copa Sudamericana 2025 final.

From the opening whistle, the atmosphere was electric. Lanús pressed high, forcing Fluminense into uncomfortable positions. The breakthrough came in the 38th minute when striker Agustín Canobbio unleashed a bicycle kick that left the crowd in awe and levelled the aggregate score. The goal was not only technically stunning but also reignited the Argentine side’s belief that a comeback was possible.

Just as the momentum seemed to swing in Lanús’ favour, trouble erupted off the pitch. A clash between a group of Lanús supporters and Brazilian police broke out in the stands, prompting officials to halt the game for several minutes while security worked to restore order. The interruption delayed the second half and added an undercurrent of tension that lingered throughout the remainder of the match.

When play resumed, both teams displayed a mix of caution and fierce determination. Fluminense managed to absorb the pressure, and a late away‑goal in the 84th minute sealed the aggregate advantage. The match ended 1‑1 on the night, but the Brazilian side advanced 2‑1 overall, earning a spot in the tournament’s showpiece final.

    yo so let me get this straight... beIN SPORTS is the ONLY one broadcasting? what about the other 47 channels that were supposed to cover this? i saw a leak from a guy in the control room who said they cut the feed on purpose because the police were filming the fans getting teargassed and they didn't want it to go viral. this whole thing was staged to make fluminense look like victims. canobbio's goal? fake. cgi. i've seen the raw footage from a drone and the ball never even touched his foot. they just spliced it in after the fact. they're scared of what the fans might expose next. #CoverUp #CopaSudamericana2025

    this is why we need to ban foreign fans from South American stadiums. 🤬 people like lanús supporters think they can just come in and start riots? the police were just doing their job. and now they want to blame the system? lol. the only thing that's 'dramatic' here is how pathetic these teams are. fluminense won fair and square. if you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen. 🇧🇷🔥

    There’s something deeply human about football - the way a single bicycle kick can unite strangers in awe, even as chaos unfolds around them. The goal wasn’t just skill; it was soul. And the silence after the suspension? That was the sound of a shared humanity trying to find its way back. Maybe the real final isn’t in the trophy, but in whether we choose to rebuild the stands, not just the teams. Football reminds us: we’re all just trying to belong somewhere.

    lmao lanus is just a bunch of argentinian trash who cant handle losing. fluminense is real football. the police were just doing their job. those argie fans started it. and canobbio? pfft. he got lucky. the goal was offside and they just let it slide because the ref was bribed. bein sports is owned by the same people who run the league. total scam. india has better football than this.

    man that goal was pure magic. i was watching with my little brother and he jumped off the couch like he'd won the lottery 😄. yeah the crowd stuff was bad, but the players kept playing like pros. lanus didn't give up, and fluminense held strong. that's what football's about - heart over hate. keep going, teams. we're all rooting for you, even from here in india 🇮🇳⚽

    I think people are missing the point here. The real story isn't the goal or the violence - it's the fact that the match was played at all. In a world where politics, money, and nationalism are tearing sports apart, the fact that these two teams showed up, played with passion, and didn't let the chaos stop the game… that’s a quiet revolution. The fans who caused trouble? They’re the exception. The ones who cheered, cried, and held each other up? That’s the real legacy. Let’s not forget that.

    look, i know it’s easy to get mad when your team loses, but let’s give credit where it’s due. lanus came in with nothing and gave everything. canobbio’s goal? That’s the kind of thing you tell your grandkids about. fluminense held their nerve - that’s championship stuff. yeah, the incident sucked, but the players didn’t quit. that’s what matters. keep your head up, lanus fans. this ain’t the end - it’s the foundation for something bigger. i believe in you.

    this whole thing was orchestrated. you think the police just happened to be there with tear gas? no. they were waiting. the league knew lanus had a passionate fanbase and wanted to create a narrative - 'foreign troublemakers' - so they could push through stricter visa bans and shut down international fan travel. the goal was real, sure, but the timing of the suspension? too perfect. and now beIN is the only broadcaster? Coincidence? I think not. They’re burying the footage. The truth is buried under corporate PR and biased commentary. Don’t be fooled.

    fluminense won? sure. but only because the ref was blind. that goal was offside by a full meter. and the suspension? that was the league’s way of letting fluminense reset after being pressured. you think lanus was just lucky? no. they were better. they had more possession, more shots, more heart. the result was fixed. the only thing real here is the corruption. and you all just swallow it because it's convenient.

    canobbio’s goal was the kind of moment that turns a game into legend. doesn’t matter if fluminense advanced - that bicycle kick will live on in highlight reels for decades. as for the chaos? it’s tragic, but it’s also a reminder that football isn’t just about the pitch. it’s about the people, the passion, the pain. the game went on. that’s what counts.
