Professional League: Independiente won 1-0 and sank Huracán even more

Independiente and Huracán played a terrifying match. Because that was what the two teams felt in the face of the possibility that a defeat would worsen their vulnerable situation in the annual table. Red won 1-0 and in the end, his people exploded in the stands as if they had won a title. A sign of the extent to which times have changed in that area of ​​Avellaneda. After so many years of disappointment and frustration, the Independiente fan has set his expectations very low. Before, he was only satisfied with winning by playing well. And a victory like this, without being able to pass the buck judiciously for most of the afternoon, would have unleashed a flurry of hissing and recriminations.

Now, nothing is required anymore, just win. Although it is this type of triumph that can be explained from the most obvious: the goal that Martin Cauteruccio he pointed out 40 minutes into the first half after a good pass that Sarrafiore put behind Tobio’s back and that the Uruguayan striker defined by arriving before goalkeeper Chaves left. In principle, the goal had been annulled by offside. But the VAR this time did justice and verified that Cauteruccio was empowered. The cry released by the red crowd was the best relief for so many accumulated tensions.

If the goal had been scored by Huracán, perhaps the argument of the match would be the same. Because afterwards there were no big differences. The shortcomings of the two teams once again left them exposed. Imagination flowed to none, putting together a more or less deep play was an impossible mission to fulfill and If a climate of strange tension ran through the Avellaneda stadium to the end, it was more because of the inconsistency transmitted by Ricardo Zielinski’s team than because of the complications that this discouraged Hurricane could have caused him, who barely won one game out of the last 18 he played between the championship and the Copa Sudamericana and that this Monday he will debut a new coach (Diego Martínez, his third coach so far this year, will take over).

In the second half, after Ayrton Costa’s goal was disallowed due to a clear offside by Paraguayan Báez, Huracán had a little more possession of the ball, pushed with some conviction and arrived twice with a pumped header from Cordero that went over the top from the crossbar and a high right hand from Gauto. Forty thousand people held their breath as if a tie was imminent. But in truth that never happened.

With a bit of solidity, another bit of cunning and a bit of intelligence and a good game, Independiente would have won easily. But he couldn’t do it. And that is why the triumph came wrapped in anguish. An anguish that ran through the crowded stands without having originated in the green grass. Independiente won by suffering because perhaps it cannot do otherwise. Hurricane, not even that. They both played very badly. Perhaps a better match could not be expected.
