Hurricane arrives with spirits through the roof to visit San Lorenzo next Saturday in the porteño classic.
Banfield suffered a new defeat after falling in the classic against Lanús and will play all Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the Argentine Cup against Godoy Cruz in San Luis.
In an attractive and emotional first half, Huracán was able to turn around a game that seemed complicated almost from the locker room.
After 3 minutes, Agustín Urzi kicked a free kick from the right that Luis Mago deflected and Alejandro Cabrera appeared at the second post, who headed almost over the line, hit the crossbar and then the leg of goalkeeper Lucas Chaves.
After almost five minutes of review, the VAR, headed by Jorge Baliño, determined that the ball entered and the referee Fernando Echenique confirmed the 1-0 for the “Drill”.
The team of Claudio Vivas he took the lead on the first play of the game and gave all the pressure to the host.
The “Globo”, with more nerves than football, went in search of an equalizer and the opportunity came in the 22nd minute with the penalty that Echenique charged without hesitation by the hand of Ramiro Enrique after a center passed from the left.
The striker Franco Cristaldo handed over the execution to Cóccaro but the Uruguayan hit Cambeses’s left post softly and he guessed the intention. The Uruguayan, who hasn’t converted since the 15th, missed an unbeatable chance to level the game.
However, Diego Dabove’s team did not stop insisting and the tie was finalized after 35 minutes with a shot from outside the area by left-back Walter Pérez. With the calm of the 1-1, Huracán regained confidence and put Banfield to defend very close to his goal.
In the last minute of addition, Franco Cristaldo pressed the exit of Banfield and the ball was left to Rodrigo Cabral who took a left footed shot to the left post of Cambeses.
Comeback and relief for Huracán that turned the result around with two goals from players from the lower divisions of the club.
If the first half began with controversy, the start of the second was not far behind because after 3 minutes, Cabral had the 3-1 but Dylan Gissi took it out on the line.
In the first instance, Echenique charged a penalty and expelled the Banfield defender but the VAR intervened again and after the review, the referee reversed his decision since he considered that the ball hit Gissi’s shoulder.
Huracán went from the chance of being able to liquidate the game to suffering because Banfield was animated like never before in the game and planted himself in the rival field.
Vivas finished with Mauricio Cuero, Juan Cruz, Andrés Chávez and Agustín Urzi but only had a clear one for the draw. At 35 minutes, Cruz shot it over the crossbar after a cross from the right. Towards the end, Chávez crashed a header on the post with goalkeeper Cambeses in the Huracán area.
On the next play, the goalkeeper, with a past in Huracán, went back to the area but Fattori, one of the local’s best, recovered the ball and Cóccaro, who was about to be replaced, made it 3-1 from midfield and with suspense.
The end was uneven because the Uruguayan shouted the goal at Banfield’s bench and a riot broke out that extended Echenique’s final whistle.
Hard-fought and hard-fought victory for Huracán, who is still on the fight for the title, and another worrying defeat for Banfield, which will put the semester in the Argentine Cup at stake.
