The Huracán Post
Match26 May 2038
Huracán are through
3‑2 settles it, and a club that spent a season earning the right to play these games has won one of them. Somebody else's season ended tonight, which is the part nobody mentions in the celebrations.

Joaquín Sambade drives the Huracán comeback
2 behind and going nowhere, until Joaquín Sambade decided otherwise. Lanús had done the hard part and then watched it come apart, and the noise at the final whistle was the sort a ground keeps.

Luciano Acosta keeps Huracán in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

A fracture rules Martín Farías out for 82 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.

Huracán are in among the leaders
Position 3 and 25 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Words at Huracán training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ignacio Rojas Sánchez 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.

Ninety minutes of Carlos Morales at his very best
Marked 9.06. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Huracán.

Tempers go at Huracán
Daniel Padilla was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A masterclass from Joaquín Sambade
Marked 8.89 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
