Huracán defeated Banfield, at home, 3-1 in an electrifying game and continues to fight for the title of the 2022 Professional League tournament. At the start of Date 21, the “Globo” came from behind with goals from Walter Pérez, Rodrigo Cabral and the Uruguayan Matías Cóccaro.
Banfield had opened the scoring three minutes into the first half through Alejandro Cabrera. The game had everything: two VAR interventions and a penalty 23 minutes into the first half that goalkeeper Cambeses saved from Cóccaro.
The striker had his revenge in the game of the match with a goal from midfield, when Cambeses had gone to look for the equalizer in the Huracán area. The local returned to victory after three draws in a row, and with 37 points was temporarily third, one behind Atlético Tucumán and two behind the new leader, Boca Juniors.
Hurricane arrives with spirits through the roof to visit San Lorenzo next Saturday in the porteño classic. Banfield suffered a new defeat after falling in the classic against Lanús, and will play all Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the Argentine Cup against Godoy Cruz in San Luis.
