Match17 May 2027
Huracán up to position 2
29 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.
Player ratings17 May 2027
Successful dribbles: 25. 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.
Squad17 May 2027
Juan Bisanz 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.
Squad17 May 2027
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.
Match15 May 2027
0‑1 to Sarmiento, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
The dugout17 May 2027
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sebastián Meza, and the manager let it.
Boardroom17 May 2027
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.
The dugout17 May 2027
The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Federico Villalba left the room before anybody could ask which.
The dugout17 May 2027
Hernán Galíndez dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Triumph
Player ratings29 Mar 2027
Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Match27 Mar 2027
The run at home goes on for Huracán
14 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.
Match27 Mar 2027
Huracán cannot stop winning
5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Juan Bisanz 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.
Match27 Mar 2027
It finished 2‑0, and it was Facundo Waller’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Huracán.
Squad29 Mar 2027
A row about effort at Huracán
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Fabio Pereyra was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Player ratings29 Mar 2027
A performance of 8.10 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
Player ratings29 Mar 2027
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.09, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
Squad29 Mar 2027
The medical room confirms 34 days on the sidelines for Thiago Sosa, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad8 Feb 2027
Federico Milo breaks a bone — 69 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 69 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Market8 Feb 2027
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Huracán, and it is not being withdrawn.
Match6 Feb 2027
The run at home goes on for Huracán
11 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.
Boardroom8 Feb 2027
A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.
Squad8 Feb 2027
Juan Bisanz 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.
Boardroom8 Feb 2027
Graduation day at Huracán
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
Squad8 Feb 2027
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.
Market8 Feb 2027
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Roberto Bruno is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
Market8 Feb 2027
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Emiliano Aguirre has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market28 Dec 2026
Huracán say no — this time
The offer from O'Higgins for César Ibáñez was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Market28 Dec 2026
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Huracán have lost him in all but the paperwork.
The dugout28 Dec 2026
Jordy Caicedo: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Huracán have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Squad28 Dec 2026
A falling-out at Huracán
Juan Bisanz and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Squad28 Dec 2026
Words at Huracán training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bruno Barticciotto 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.
Market28 Dec 2026
The Alexis Dulón conversation is coming
Everyone has stopped pretending: Vélez will make the call about Alexis Dulón this week. Huracán have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.
The dugout28 Dec 2026
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
The dugout28 Dec 2026
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Huracán. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
The dugout28 Dec 2026
Emmanuel Ojeda knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Huracán, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad23 Nov 2026
25 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Huracán lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Match23 Nov 2026
27 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

Fabio Pereyra: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Huracán have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Market23 Nov 2026
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Patricio Pizarro will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Huracán the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Squad23 Nov 2026
Words exchanged at Huracán
Bruno Barticciotto and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Juan Bisanz asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Santiago Luján, and the manager let it.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Santiago Luján is on it.

Looking ahead19 Oct 2026
Two sides from the top of the table, one afternoon, and a month of talk decided in ninety minutes. Huracán will not use the word title this week and will not stop thinking it.
Squad19 Oct 2026
15 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 dugout19 Oct 2026
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Joaquín Mattalia trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
Looking ahead19 Oct 2026
He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Independiente Rivadavia in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

2 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Cup progress for Huracán
A 1‑1 win over Independiente Rivadavia, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Words exchanged at Huracán
Leonardo Gil and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Whatever happens, Huracán do not lose
6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Fabio Pereyra, and the manager let it.

The kick that got away from Lautaro Mora
Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.
