Clausura 2010: River Plate 2 – 0 Huracán
By: Christian | March 16th, 2010Luck may played an important part in River Plate’s 2-0 victory over Huracán at the Monumental on Sunday, but la banda will take any help they can get ahead of the all-important Superclásico this coming weekend.
For a team that is struggling to score, River were handed a gift in the 2nd minute when Huracán keeper Gastón Monzón fumbled a loose ball in front of his net which led to an own goal by defender Ezequiel Filippetto. Los millonarios received an even better gift later in the first half when a Huracán goal was disallowed for being offside, though replays showed it should have stood.
There was no luck needed however in the second half, when an perfectly times cross from Juan M. Díaz found Gustavo Canales, who headed the ball into the net, securing an important victory for River in their quest to avoid relegation next season, and boosting their confidence ahead of their visit to La Bombonera next Sunday.
River will most certainly need the momentum going into the Superclásico. Sunday’s result was only their third win in 9 games, and only the second time this season they have scored more than one goal, and one of those only came as an own goal. River have failed to win two matches in a row, so they will need their players to perform at their best if they are to win against Boca. A little luck wouldn’t hurt either.
