Huracán 2 – 1 River Plate
By: Christian | November 12th, 2007
Daniel Passarella threw out the white flag this past weekend, fielding a team of youngsters, some making their debut in a River kit, in a 2-1 loss to Huracán this past Saturday night.
With the league out of reach, and the Sudamericana 2nd leg this Wednesday, el Kaiser decided to give some young faces the opportunity to make a mark with the club. La Banda was able to get ahead with a strike from Sixto Peralta in the 14th minute, but el Globo pulled out the win with 2 second half goals, proving that regardless of the age of the players, River won’t be getting any clean sheets with Lussenhoff in defense.
Unfortunately I missed the game, but I did catch the highlights on Paso a Paso last night (you can read a recap here). To be fair, there was a clear penalty that was not called; it should have also resulted in an expulsion for Huracán, but the ref only gave a free kick and a yellow.
