  • Huracán defeated San Lorenzo 2-0 in a tense Argentine Clausura tournament match.
  • Ecuadorian player Jordy Caicedo scored both goals, with the second leading to a confrontation and the expulsion of San Lorenzo's goalkeeper.
  • The match was characterized by a physical style and few clear chances until Caicedo's goals.

Huracán secured a significant away victory against San Lorenzo, winning the "Clásico Porteño" 2-0 in a match marked by tension and a late confrontation. Ecuadorian forward Jordy Caicedo was the star, scoring in the first half and adding a second goal in the 57th minute of the second half.

Caicedo's second goal, a precise shot after an individual effort, sparked a heated reaction. The striker celebrated with the "Topo Gigio" gesture, a taunt popularized by Juan Román Riquelme, directed at the home crowd. This provocation occurred in a context where San Lorenzo fans were already frustrated by the team's winless streak in recent classics and a difficult start to the season.

The celebration quickly escalated into a melee. San Lorenzo players confronted Caicedo, and objects were thrown from the stands. The situation intensified when San Lorenzo's Paraguayan goalkeeper, Orlando Gill, pushed Caicedo. Following a VAR review, Gill was shown a red card, further escalating the conflict and leading to a prolonged interruption of the game.
