The goals were from Franco Cristaldo (8m. PT) and Lautaro Blanco, against (8m. ST), but the Uruguayan striker had a part in both.
The “Zorro”, for whom Hurricane paid half a million dollars a few days ago to buy 75% of the pass, scored the two goals for the first victory of the “Globo” in the tournament and of the Diego Dabove cycle as DT.
In the first, he put together the play prior to Cristaldo’s goal with a nice pipe and in the second, he faced from the left and took the shot that deflected in Blanco and dislodged the goalkeeper Servio.
The Uruguayan also scored a goal in the first half but referee Germán Delfino annulled it at the request of the VAR.
Rosario Central took a step back with respect to the debut draw with Lanús (with one less for much of the game) and is still unable to score as a visitor.
Since Leandro Somoza took office there have already been five consecutive defeats outside of Arroyito.
Without reinforcements and with a young and decimated squad (today he had only seven substitutes) after the departures of Marco Ruben (retirement) and Emiliano Vecchio (to Racing), the “scoundrel” undressed a worrying present.
After the setback in the visit to Racing in the first presentation, the “Globo” hit fast because before 10 minutes he took the lead after a great move from the right by the Uruguayan Matías Cóccaro, with a pipe included, which ended in the center for the arrival of Franco Cristaldo, who couldn’t be first but on the rebound made it 1-0 on the cold night at Parque de los Patricios.
At 28 minutes, the Uruguayan Cóccaro scored the 2-0 but Germán Delfino, at the request of the VAR (Patricio Loustau and Diego Verlotta), annulled it due to a previous advanced position by Franco Cristaldo.
After that stoppage of almost five minutes, the game had no continuity due to the continuous friction and the repeated cuts in the game.
The VAR even called Delfino again to see on screen a possible expulsion situation that the referee dismissed and resolved with a yellow card per side.
In the second half, Huracán quickly widened the score as, again at 8′, Cóccaro began a personal maneuver from the left and took a strong shot that seemed to go wide but Blanco’s foot appeared to make it 2-0 and seal the result. .
If it was difficult for Central to generate danger with the 0-1, the second goal against was lethal for a team full of kids and without a clear idea of the game.
The second reinforcement from Racing debuted in the homeowner, forward Benjamín Garré, who follows in the footsteps of his grandfather Oscar, his father Emiliano and his uncle Ezequiel, all with a past at the club.
