Huracán celebrated a triumphant 2-0 victory over San Lorenzo, marking the end of the latter's unbeaten streak during the Apertura 2025 tournament. The match, held at Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium, was significant not only for the points earned but also for the rivalry's history, as it marked Huracán's first win over San Lorenzo since 2021.
The match began with Huracán taking immediate control, showing excellent presence on the field. Just eleven minutes in, Huracán’s Fabio Pereyra capitalized on a beautifully executed free kick by Leonardo Gil, scoring with a well-timed header. This early goal shifted the dynamic of the game, placing pressure on San Lorenzo to respond immediately.
While San Lorenzo attempted to regain composure, they were consistently challenged by Huracán’s strategy and skillful play. Huracán displayed notable agility from their midfielders, Matko Miljevic and Walter Mazzantti, who effectively coordinated and troubled San Lorenzo's defense throughout the first half. Despite several attempts, San Lorenzo's Orlando Gill, who exhibited commendable goalkeeping, managed to keep the score at 1-0 until halftime.
After the break, San Lorenzo sought to equalize but struggled to generate significant scoring opportunities. The team's attempts to create offensive plays resulted in disarray, leaving them vulnerable at the back. It was during this disorganization, late in the match, when Rodrigo Cabral found space and executed a clever finish to secure the second goal for Huracán, sealing the match at 2-0.
The loss left San Lorenzo, previously one of the competition’s undefeated teams after six rounds, facing questions about their defensive tactics and overall performance. Coaches and players from both sides reflected on the game's turning points, with Huracán celebrating their resurgence and San Lorenzo reassessing their strategy moving forward.
Huracán now sits comfortably higher on the table, positioning themselves for potential playoff qualification, which is particularly significant as they strive to build momentum early in the season. Conversely, San Lorenzo's defeat has compelled them to reconsider their tactical approach as they prepare for upcoming matches.
With the Apertura 2025 tournament continuing, both teams have much at stake—Huracán eager to maintain their winning form and San Lorenzo striving to return to their earlier undefeated status. The intensity of rivalry was palpable, as fans witnessed not just goals but also remarkable athleticism and determination on the pitch.
