Huracán threw a party at the Ducó: Caicedo took advantage of the only clear chance of the match to celebrate in the classic against San Lorenzo
Huracán secured a 1-0 victory against San Lorenzo in their classic neighborhood rivalry at the Ducó, extending their unbeaten streak at home against them.
In a highly anticipated neighborhood clash, Huracán faced off against San Lorenzo, with the match held at the iconic Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium. Despite having a struggling start to the tournament, Huracán showcased its dominance at home, defeating San Lorenzo 1-0. This victory is particularly significant as it extends Huracán's unbeaten run against their arch-rivals at this venue since 2017, with eight matches yielding four wins and four draws. The three points gained are crucial for a team that had previously experienced two draws and a loss in the Apertura Tournament.
The match itself was characterized more by intensity and physical confrontations than a display of skillful football. Both sides struggled to estalish a fluid rhythm, with the game being more about fighting for possession rather than creating goal-scoring opportunities. The heavy humidity and slick conditions seemed to hinder players from making the most of their chances. However, Caicedo’s goal came through a decisive moment, capitalizing on Huracán's only clear opportunity, breaking the deadlock and energizing the home crowd.
With this win, Huracán not only boosts its confidence but also sends a message to potential rivals in the tournament. Solidifying their historical dominance over San Lorenzo, the result sparks discussions among fans and pundits alike about the implications for both clubs' fortunes in the league going forward. While San Lorenzo must regroup and reflect on their inability to win in this historically challenging ground, Huracán's performance could provide the momentum they need to turn their season around after a rocky start.
