Hurricane tied 1-1 with Godoy Cruz of Mendoza, as a visitor, for the sixteenth date of the Professional League of Football and continues as the second runner-up to the leader Vélez, five points behind and with one game less.
After what was the resounding 3-0 victory over Lanús last week at the Tomás Adolfo Duco stadium, Frank Darío Kudelka’s team had to score points to close the gap with Vélez and had a brave stop at the Malvinas Argentinas stadium in Mendoza against ‘Tomba’, a rival that has not won as a visitor since matchday 12 of the 2008 Apertura Tournament when it won 3-2.
In front was Godoy Cruz who is having a meager presence in the Professional Football League where he is fifteenth with 19 points and has not added three since the eleventh date when he beat Deportivo Riestra 4-1 on Cuyo soil. Had they won this afternoon, Daniel Oldrá’s team could have moved into the Copa Libertadores positions in the annual table.
The Parque Patricios team struck first with Federico Rasmussen’s goal – against – seven minutes into the game.
After a great free kick by Chilean Williams Alarcón from the right, the ball fell to the far post where Fernando Tobio headed cross and Godoy Cruz’s central defender took it, scoring an own goal.
In the second half, at 22 minutes, ‘Tomba’ managed to tie the game with a goal from the youth Santino Andino. From the right corner of the area, Uruguayan Roberto Fernández put a great cross into the penalty spot where his compatriot Salomón Rodríguez headed back and served it to the 18-year-old midfielder who, marked sharply by Hernán de la Fuente, managed to turn around and score. before the bailing of goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez.
With this result, Huracán lost a great opportunity to be three points behind the leader Vélez who must play on Tuesday against Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito stadium. On the other hand, Godoy Cruz de Mendoza could not get into Libertadores positions and continues to have an inconsequential performance in the Professional Football League.
