Huracán achieved a crucial 1-0 victory against Boca Juniors at the Estadio la Quema, courtesy of a single strike in the second half. Matko Miljevic was the hero for the home side, scoring in the 65th minute after receiving a perfect assist from Leonardo Gil.
Miljevic’s shot from distance sailed past the Boca goalkeeper, marking a stunning goal that turned the match in favor of Huracán.
Despite dominating possession with an impressive 62%, Boca Juniors failed to convert their control of the game into tangible results and could not find the back of the net.
Miljevic was undoubtedly the standout performer, contributing not just the goal but also delivering 23 key passes and attempting two shots on target.
Leonardo Gil also played a pivotal role for Huracán, completing 51 successful passes and recovering possession three times.
During the 62nd minute, Boca Juniors midfielder Tomás Belmonte showcased his skill by elegantly dribbling past his marker, leaving the crowd in awe.
Huracán’s manager, Frank Kudelka, opted for a 4-5-1 formation with Sebastián Meza guarding the goal, supported by defenders Tomás Guidara, Fabio Pereyra, Nehuén Paz, and César Ibáñez. The midfield consisted of Leonel Pérez, Leonardo Gil, Juan Francisco Bisanz, Matko Miljevic, and Rodrigo Cabral, while Matías Tissera led the attack.
On the other side, Boca Juniors, managed by Miguel Ángel Russo, used a 4-4-2 setup with Agustín Marchesín in goal, backed by a defense made up of Luis Advíncula, Rodrigo Battaglia, Marco Pellegrino, and Lautaro Blanco. Their midfield featured Tomás Belmonte, Leandro Paredes, Milton Delgado, and Alan Velasco, while Miguel Ángel Merentiel partnered with Edinson Cavani up front.
The match was officiated by referee Leandro Rey Hilfer.
Looking ahead, Huracán will face Tigre in their next league outing, while Boca Juniors prepares to host Racing Club.
