River Plate dominated the ball and territory from start to finish, racking up 20 shots and 78 dangerous attacks compared to Huracán's meagre 7 and 19, yet found themselves undone by their own profligacy in front of goal. Huracán, content to sit deep and soak up pressure with 32 tackles to River's 17, struck early through Oscar Cortes and then again with a ruthless sucker-punch through Lucas Blondel in the 80th minute, with Cortes turning provider for the winner. Tomas Galvan's equalizer, assisted by Angel Correa, had briefly threatened to reward River's control, but the hosts' inability to convert four big chances proved fatal. For River, this is a damaging result against the run of play that will sting given their status and title ambitions, while Huracán leave with a statement win built on defensive discipline and lethal counters.
