Match

Huracán win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 92th minute. Estudiantes will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Squad

A fracture rules Nazareno Durán out for 60 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Huracán will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Patricio Pizarro has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Huracán they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom

Patricio Pizarro has agreed to leave Huracán for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

A row about effort at Huracán

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Leonardo Gil was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Huracán get the job done against Estudiantes

A 2‑1 win over Estudiantes, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Juan Bisanz

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

13 new faces, and Huracán are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Eduardo Moretti, on a 2‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Squad

A fracture rules Nazareno Durán out for 68 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Huracán will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

So close: Sebastián Meza’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Girona moved on, Sebastián Meza reports back to Huracán, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad

Words at Huracán training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leonardo Gil is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Luca Babino in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Huracán this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Nahuel Maldonado named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Nahuel Maldonado is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout

Jordy Caicedo gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

Lucas Blondel has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Huracán will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

Ignacio Pussetto knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ignacio Pussetto trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Huracán and Santiago Luján are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Match

Huracán march on in the cup

Defensores Unidos are out and Huracán go through, 3‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match

Cruel end for Defensores Unidos as Huracán pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Huracán scored in the 91th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Squad

87 days out for Nazareno Durán after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Huracán will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Nahuel Maldonado at 19 — 8.72

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Nahuel Maldonado did not need any: 8.72, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for Huracán

5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad

A row about effort at Huracán

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Leonardo Gil was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings

Juan Bisanz was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Hernán Galíndez

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The terraces

Huracán supporters have found a favourite in Lucas Ortíz

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Lucas Ortíz has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

Nazareno Durán breaks a bone — 95 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 95 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Al Shabab come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Huracán did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Hernán Galíndez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Huracán this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Gimnasia La Plata take the points off Huracán

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Words at Huracán training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leonardo Gil is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Rodrigo Fernández

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

One of those days for Bruno Barticciotto

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.18, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Huracán are still strangers to each other

13 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

Eduardo Moretti answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 2‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Nowhere to hide for Huracán

0‑4 against Rosario Central, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad

Hernán Galíndez signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Hernán Galíndez and Huracán agree another 2 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Huracán

Hernán Galíndez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Words at Huracán training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leonardo Gil is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Avispa Fukuoka join the queue for Cristian Núñez

Add another name to the list: Avispa Fukuoka have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Cristian Núñez. The answer from Huracán has not changed — yet.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Huracán dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad

Óscar Romero calls time on his country

“58 caps was 58 more than the boy who started ever expected.” At 34 he has stepped away from the national side and has not stepped away from Huracán.

The dugout

Eduardo Moretti faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Eduardo Moretti after 0‑4, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

Juan Bisanz knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Juan Bisanz trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
