Agustín Lanata (c.1890–1967) was an Argentine association football player, who played for River, Independiente, Banfield and Quilmes.[1]

Career

[edit]

Lanata began his career with Independiente, being one of the footballers who played the first match for Club Atlético Independiente in the Primera División, the top-flight of football in Argentina.[2]

Lanata then moved to River Plate, where he stayed from 1912 to 1916, playing about forty games and scoring four goals. In 1914, Lanata won the Copa de Competencia Jockey Club with the club.[3] That year River qualified to play the Tie Cup, which the club would win being River Plate's first international title after defeating Uruguayan team Bristol 1–0.[4][5]

In 1918, Lanata played fleetingly for Boca Juniors,[6] then he went onto Banfield and eventually ended his career with Quilmes Atlético Club.

His grandson, the journalist Jorge Lanata founded in 1987 the paper Pagina/12.
