“Jordy Caicedo pounced on a scramble in the San Lorenzo box after Juan Francisco Bisanz twice failed to convert and Lucas Blondel's shot was saved, tapping home at the death of the first half to give Huracán a lead they would not relinquish.”
Pivotal“Caicedo struck again just after the hour mark, converting an assist from Facundo Kalinger to make it 0-2 and effectively end the contest — a goal immediately followed by bookings for both Caicedo for unsportsmanlike conduct and Orlando Gill for arguing.”

Outstanding performance
Huracán•AttackerHuracán were the hungrier side from the first whistle, and their 14 shots to San Lorenzo's eight tells a clear story of a team that came to the Nuevo Gasómetro with a plan and executed it. San Lorenzo controlled the ball — 54% possession and 411 passes — but did almost nothing damaging with it, missing both of their big chances while Huracán converted one of three. Jordy Caicedo was the architect of the visitors' evening, poaching a goal on the stroke of half-time after a chaotic goalmouth scramble involving Bisanz and Blondel, then doubling the lead on 57 minutes with a composed finish assisted by Facundo Kalinger. The match then unravelled for San Lorenzo when Orlando Gill, already on a booking from an argument moments after the second goal, was sent off for violent conduct on 62 minutes — effectively ending any realistic hope of a comeback. For San Lorenzo, sitting 18th in the Liga Profesional, this is a damaging loss that deepens a crisis; Huracán, by contrast, leave with maximum points and momentum in what is shaping up to be a tightly contested title race.
