Hurricane achieved a fundamental 1-0 victory tonight against Independent in the Tomás Ducó, corresponding to the twenty-second date of the Professional League.
With a goal from Walter Mazzanti 14 minutes into the second half, the “Globo” reached Vélez at the top of the table and remains in the fight for the championship.
Frank Kudelka’s team took advantage of the support of their fans to get three vital points in a match that, although it was even and without too many emotions, ended in their favor.
The first half was marked by the lack of clear goal situations and the game being blocked in the midfield. Huracán controlled possession, but without depth in the attack. The best chances came in the final minutes of the first half, with a free kick from Santiago Montiel that went close to Independiente and a shot from Gabriel Ávalos, rejected by goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez.
The second half showed a change in Huracán’s attitude, which came out more determined to find the goal. Thus, at 15 minutes, after a precise pass from Federico Vera, Mazzanti took the opportunity to define before the departure of Rey and score 1-0.
Independiente tried to respond by betting on counterattacks, but lacked precision in the final meters, and Lucas González, in one of the few arrivals, finished off wide.
The local team was able to extend the lead in the 29th minute, when Héctor Fértoli faced Rey in a one-on-one match, but the Independiente goalkeeper managed to deflect the shot into the corner. With this victory, Huracán positions itself as one of the leaders of the Professional League and he is excited to maintain his good momentum in the final dates of the tournament.
Independiente, for its part, remains in ninth position in the Annual Table with 53 points and still dreams of qualifying for the Copa Libertadores, although its options are limited. After this match, Julio Vaccari’s team will take advantage of the FIFA break to regain strength and will face Gimnasia in their next match in Avellaneda.
