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

Nicolás Diez’s team comes into this match after eliminating 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 the referee.

The quarterfinals of the Liga Profesional Apertura Tournament feature a matchup that promises plenty in La Paternal. This Tuesday starting at 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” reaches this stage after knocking out Lanús. In an intense (and late) Saturday clash in the nation’s capital, goals from Francisco Álvarez and Alan Lescano allowed the home side to beat the “Granate” and remain in contention for 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 home advantage count just as they did against Mauricio Pellegrino’s team, the “Reds” will go for another home win 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 Óscar Romero from the penalty spot on two occasions gave them a hard-fought 3-2 win at La Bombonera despite having two fewer players.

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

Argentinos Juniors: Brayan Cortés; Leandro Lozano, Francisco Álvarez, Román Riquelme, Sebastián Prieto; Alan Lescano, Federico Fattori, Nicolás Oroz; Hernán López Muñoz, Tomás Molina, Facundo Jainikoski. Coach: Nicolás Diez.
