Pivotal“Iván Morales puts Argentinos ahead for the first time in the match, converting a right-footed shot from the center of the box after being set up by Facundo Jainikoski — the goal arriving in a chaotic spell that also produced a yellow card for Jordy Caicedo moments earlier.”
PivotalArgentinos Juniors showed patience and resilience to overturn an early deficit at Parque Patricios, coming from behind to win 2-1 in a match where the statistics flattered Huracán without ultimately rewarding them. The home side dominated in terms of shots — 11 to Argentinos' five — yet the visitors were clinical when it mattered, converting two of their two shots on target while Argentinos goalkeeper made three saves to deny what could have been a comfortable home victory. Huracán struck first through Facundo Waller's left-footed effort from the right side of the box in the 13th minute, but Argentinos levelled before half-time through Tomás Molina's header from a corner, and the visitors took control of the tie in the second half with a more disciplined and tactically cohesive approach, winning the tackle count 28 to 19 and controlling possession at 55 percent. The match turned decisively on 65 minutes when Iván Morales converted from close range after a Facundo Jainikoski assist, a goal that came amid a flurry of yellow cards and heated exchanges suggesting Argentinos had found the psychological edge at just the right moment. For Argentinos, the result sustains their momentum in a title race that pre-match context flagged as genuinely meaningful, while Huracán will rue a wasteful evening in which their greater volume of attack ultimately counted for nothing.
