Huracán edged past Banfield 1-0 in a Superliga match that was all about dominance vs. defiance. The home side controlled the ball (58%) and fired 21 shots, but Banfield’s goalkeeper kept them at bay until the 65th minute.
The only goal came when Leonardo Gil set up Jordy Caicedo, who finished to make it 1-0. Banfield rarely threatened, registering just one shot on target, while Huracán piled on 11. The game saw four yellow cards – David Zalazar (36'), Santiago Esquivel (56'), César Ibáñez (75') and Tomás Adoryan (90') – but no reds.
Huracán’s expected goals of 1.80 told the story of a side that created and missed big chances (three big chances, two missed). Banfield’s keeper made 10 saves, the standout number in a match where the visitors were thoroughly outplayed but kept the scoreline respectable.
