Jordy Caicedo Scores Brace as Huracán Defeats San Lorenzo, Ending 25-Year Drought

Ecuadorian forward Jordy Caicedo was the standout performer in the Argentine Torneo Clausura on Sunday, scoring both goals in Huracán's away victory against rivals San Lorenzo. This win marks a significant achievement for Huracán, as it was their first triumph at San Lorenzo's Nuevo Gasómetro stadium in almost 25 years, with the last victory occurring on December 9, 2001.

The match also saw controversy when San Lorenzo's goalkeeper, Orlando Gill, was sent off after headbutting Lucas Blondel during a scuffle. Caicedo's first goal celebration, a 'Topo Gigio' gesture directed at San Lorenzo supporters, further fueled the tension. However, he later apologized for the celebration, explaining it was a moment of euphoria and not characteristic of his usual behavior.

“

I want to apologize for the act I had on the field. Those who know me closely know that this does not characterize me. It was a moment of euphoria.

Despite the controversy, Caicedo highlighted the importance of the victory, stating, "It's beautiful to make history with this club." He dedicated the win to his daughter and the Huracán fans. The Ecuadorian forward was substituted later in the match, a decision he found somewhat disappointing, as he enjoys competing and felt he was playing well. He expressed sadness at being taken off due to a yellow card, fearing further infractions.

It's beautiful to make history with this club.
