Argentinos Juniors and Huracán meet in a tasty tie at La Paternal | OneFootball

Nicolás Díez’s team comes into this match after knocking out Lanús, while Diego Martínez’s side pulled off an upset against Boca at La Bombonera. It will be played this Tuesday from 9:30 p.m., with TNT Sports broadcasting and Fernando Echenique as referee.

The quarterfinals of the Liga Profesional Torneo Apertura feature a showdown that promises plenty at La Paternal. This Tuesday from 9:30 p.m., Argentinos Juniors and Huracán will decide the tournament’s second semifinalist at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Nicolás Diez’s “Bicho” reached this stage after eliminating Lanús. In an intense (and late) Saturday clash in the federal capital, goals from Francisco Álvarez and Alan Lescano allowed the home side to beat the “Granate” and stay alive in its biggest objective of the semester.

With a campaign of 29 points from eight wins, five draws, and three losses, Argentinos Juniors finished third in Zone B in the regular phase. Making the most of home advantage, just as they did against Mauricio Pellegrino’s team, the “Reds” will go for another home victory to book their place in the semifinals.

On the other side is Huracán. The Parque Patricios side produced one of the surprises of the first knockout round, beating Boca in a thrilling match in extra time. In their case, contributions from Leonardo Gil and two penalties converted by Óscar Romero gave them a hard-fought 3-2 win at La Bombonera despite being down to nine men.

A record of five wins, seven draws, and four losses left the “Globo” in seventh place, with an up-and-down performance. However, boosted by the win at Brandsen 805, they will look to reach another semifinal as they did in last year’s Torneo Apertura and will try to return the favor from the previous meeting between the two, which ended in the “Bicho’s” favor 2-1 at Tomás Adolfo Ducó on April 27.
