Summary
Huracán took River undefeated
In the first half, Huracán showed a very intense game, with constant pressure on River and unbalancing its defensive organization. In the second half, despite the changes made by River that slightly improved its performance, the team continued to make the same mistakes and inaccuracies as in the first half. Huracán, on the other hand, maintained its intensity and pressure on River, taking advantage of the opportunities that arose from ball recoveries.
The winning goal for Huracán came after a counterattack play, which originated after a poor free kick by River. Despite the expulsion, Huracán managed to remain firm in defense, with an outstanding performance by goalkeeper Galíndez, while River continued to fight without finding the necessary effectiveness to complete the plays. Huracán takes the three points in a good game, complicating the classification of a River that was undefeated until this match.

Analysis of the first half
In this first half, River showed some discomfort on the field, struggling to maintain control of the ball and build plays near the rival area. On the contrary, Huracán started the game solidly, with better organization and took advantage of opportunities to steal the ball and create attacking plays from midfield. Despite a disallowed goal for River, the team failed to capitalize on the chances created, sometimes due to wrong decisions and other times due to a lack of precision in finishing.
For its part, Huracán generated greater danger and tested Armani on several occasions, which prevented the local team from taking the lead on the scoreboard. River needs to adjust its tactical scheme and improve its performance in ball possession.
