Lucas Mauricio Acosta (born 12 March 1995) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Lanús.[1]

Career[edit]

Acosta started his career in 2013 with Primera División side Belgrano.[1] He appeared on the bench for twelve games in two seasons, prior to making his professional debut in the Copa Sudamericana on 18 September against Lanús; an encounter Belgrano lost 5–1.[1][2] He made his next appearance and league bow on 11 March 2017, a day before his 22nd birthday, in a defeat to San Lorenzo.[1][3] Acosta had been selected forty-seven times by the end of 2017–18, though the goalkeeper didn't feature across 2018–19.[1] In August 2019, Belgrano revealed a contractual dispute was ongoing with Acosta; as a deal with Colón was agreed, but Acosta rejected the move.[4]

In July 2020, after continued issues with Belgrano that stopped him being selected, Acosta departed to Lanús following the expiration of his contract.[5][6] On 27 January 2022, Acosta was loaned out to fellow league club Sarmiento until the end of the year.[7] In a game against Unión de Santa Fe on 27 February 2022, Acosta suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which was expected to keep him sidelines for 6-8 months.[8]
