The best and almost the only thing that Huracán took away from Argentinos’ field was the draw, a 0-0 that keeps them at the top of the championship. and that has sustained a remarkable unbeaten record of eighteen official matches (in fact, it is the only one that has not lost in the current championship). Afterwards, the “Globo” did not honor that position with its game and what’s more: it should have lost. The team from La Paternal had three very clear situations to define the resultBut he came up against two good saves from goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez against a shot by Alan Rodríguez and a one-on-one with Lescano and a shot by Rodríguez himself in the first half hit the crossbar.
The match itself was disappointing. There was a lot of divided ball, a lot of overhead play, too much roughness and almost no display of talent.. Argentinos, who after the departure of Pablo Guede, awaits the arrival of Gabriel Heinze as technical director, attacked more but He paid dearly for his lack of goals (he only scored one in the last five games), which was magnified by the sale of Luciano Gondou to Zenit of Russia that was closed during the week. However, nobody spared effort and commitment. The best thing that can be said about Argentinos is that the ten point difference that separates them from Huracán were not seen on the field of play.
The team led by Frank Kudelka was unrecognizable in the first half: the good midfield made up of Chileans Alarcón, Echeverría and Fattori did not work and neither did Mazzantti and Cabral (both of whom ended up being replaced) create any danger on the flanks. Huracán only maintained the order that brought it here. But The fact that their best players were goalkeeper Galíndez and defender Pereyra and that no one played at a level beyond the discreet qualifies the performance. His only more or less clear chance came in the second half when a shot from right back De la Fuente went just wide of the left post. Before and after, he did magic: nothing here, nothing there.
You should always expect a little more from a championship leader, and Huracán did not deliver. Argentinos played with gritted teeth, the afternoon was uncomfortable and they accumulated enough merits to take away more than what they took away. Huracán added one point, but could have easily come away empty-handed. Furthermore, the defeat of runner-up Unión served to increase its advantage.
