Huracán 3 – Estudiantes 1: Home fans rewarded with victory at Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco

Huracán enjoyed a home victory against Estudiantes La Plata at Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco on Saturday.

Huracán found the net first, when Franco Cristaldo found the net, 31 minutes in. However, their celebrations were kept brief, as Leandro Diaz equalised for Estudiantes just before half-time. The score at break remained 1-1.

Huracán continued to pile on the pressure in the second period and were rewarded, when Franco Cristaldo found the net once more, 66 minutes in. However they weren’t finished yet and Gabriel Gudino made it 3-1 just before the full time to make it 3-1.

Substitutions for Huracán included Gabriel Gudino, Matias Gomez, Maicol Cabrera, and Lucas Carrizo for Nicolas Cordero, Benjamin Garre, Matias Coccaro, and Rodrigo Cabral, respectively. Estudiantes brought on Mauro Mendez, Franco Zapiola, Leonardo Heredia and Pablo Piatti, to replace Mauro Boselli, Benjamin Rollheiser, Gonzalo Pineiro and Manuel Castro.

There were bookings for Nicolas Cordero and Matias Coccaro from Huracán, and Leonardo Godoy, Gonzalo Pineiro, Luciano Lollo, Manuel Castro, Leonardo Heredia, Fabian Noguera and Jorge Rodriguez, for Estudiantes.
