Huracán advanced to Phase 3 of the Copa Libertadores after defeating Boston River from Uruguay 1-0, and will arrive toned for next Sunday’s classic against San Lorenzo for the Professional League tournament.
After the goalless draw in the first leg in Montevideo, the qualifying goal was scored by Uruguayan Matías Cóccaro, from a penalty kick, in first half discount.
In the last stage of access to the group stage, Huracán will face Sporting Cristal from Peru, who eliminated Nacional from Paraguay last Tuesday.
The first leg will be played next week at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium in Parque de los Patricios and the rematch will be in Lima, Peru.
The winner will enter the group round of the most important tournament on the continent, which will be drawn on Wednesday the 22nd of this year at the Conmebol headquarters in Paraguay.
The Parque de los Patricios team made sure, at least, to play in the Copa Sudamericana in case they were unable to pass the Peruvians.
However, Diego Dabove’s team, who is undefeated in 2023, must first face the classic with San Lorenzo that will be played on Sunday at 7:15 p.m. at the “Palacio” Ducó.
The “quemeros” celebrated the round pass, but throughout the game they remembered the classic rival and asked for victory this weekend.
Huracán met one of the objectives of the year and maintains the line of what was done in 2022, despite the departures of important players such as Franco Cristaldo, Benjamín Garré and Lucas Merolla, in conflict with the club.
