Huracán’s 2-0 defeat to Tigre in Parque Patricios left the championship without undefeated teams. El Globo has gone 18 games without losing between the League Cup, the Argentine Cup and the current tournament. But of the last six, they have only won one (1-0 with Belgrano) and drawn four. Now they are three points behind Vélez (27 to 24) with the need for a quick recovery to avoid losing further ground in the fight for the title.
Hurricane He took the initiative from the start but had a hard time finding clarity in the final meters. Tigre, who for the first time in the championship won two games in a row, defended in an orderly manner and in the first opportunity they had to open the scoring, they did not forgive. At 22 minutes, Gonzalo Maroni headed the ball to Blas Armoa and The Paraguayan defined very well before the exit of Hernán Galindez.
At a disadvantage, the Hurricane crowd called for Wanchope Ábila and coach Frank Kudelka granted the request for his return for the second half. But it was as if nothing had happened: Globo continued to have a hard time reaching Felipe Zenobio’s goal. At 56, a free kick from William Alarcón went very close to the right corner. It was the only really dangerous thing Huracán produced.
As the minutes passed, desperation grew on and off the field while Tigre remained cool and waited with their finger on the trigger. Until the 77th minute, after a corner from the left, Florián Monzón beat everyone to the punch in the area and sealed the result with a header. Monzón has scored four of the last seven goals in Tigre, who has already taken four points (21 to 17) in the annual table from Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero and seems to be moving away from relegation, although it is still 23rd in the averages.
Beyond the final attempts, Huracán left a weak image and never found the way to the game. Its great strength is in the midfield. From there on, it is lacking and this defeat made it very clear.
