“Leandro Lescano opens the scoring with a right-footed finish, assisted by Juan Francisco Bisanz, after Facundo Kalinger had narrowly missed with a header moments earlier.”
Pivotal“Tempers flare late on as Francisco Perruzzi and Leonardo Sigali are both booked for arguing, capping an increasingly tense finish.”
Huracán
Aldosivi
Outstanding performance
Huracán•DefenderHuracán controlled the game from the opening whistle, out-shooting Aldosivi 18-12 and creating double the dangerous attacks (61 to 34), and they made their superiority count through Leandro Lescano's clinical finish in the 36th minute. The goal came from a patient build-up capped by Juan Francisco Bisanz's assist, and it was enough to separate two sides who were otherwise fairly even on possession and passing accuracy. Aldosivi's night got worse in the 74th minute when Joaquín Pombo picked up a second yellow and was sent off, leaving them to see out the final quarter of the match a man down. Both sides made wholesale changes through the second half looking for something different, but with Aldosivi reduced to ten men and unable to turn their defensive commitment - 19 tackles to Huracán's 13 - into clear attacking opportunities, the scoreline held firm until the final whistle, with a late flare-up of cards underlining the frustration on both benches.
