Independiente Rivadavia took a firm first-half lead and held off a spirited Huracán fightback to win 2-1 in the Superliga. Despite having only 36% possession, the hosts went two goals up inside 45 minutes and survived a quick reply after the break.
Alex Arce opened the scoring in the 22nd minute from Matías Fernández's assist, then Fernández turned provider again for José Florentín to make it 2-0 just before half-time. Oscar Cortés pulled one back for Huracán two minutes into the second half, but Independiente saw the game out even after Leandro Lescano was sent off in the 90th minute.
The numbers tell the story of a side that made the most of limited ball — Independiente had 21 total shots to Huracán's 13, and their expected goals (2.01) far exceeded the visitors' 1.00. The win was built on efficiency in front of goal and a stubborn rearguard action after the red card.
