River Plate 1-2 Huracán result, stats and report

Huracán made their territorial superiority count with a 65th-minute strike to claim a deserved 1-0 victory over a Banfield side that offered precious little going forward, with just one shot on target all evening.

Barracas Central claimed a remarkable away win at River Plate, scoring once through a first-half left-foot finish and defending with remarkable discipline to hold out a side that generated 15 shots but converted none of them.

Independiente Rivadavia welcome Huracán to Mendoza on Thursday evening sitting top of the Argentine Liga Profesional table, but their recent home form carries a note of caution that makes this fixture rather more interesting than the standings alone might suggest.

River Plate travel to La Plata on Wednesday 29 July with three straight away wins and just one goal conceded on the road in their last five. Gimnasia are improving at home but their defensive record against top-two opposition is the concern. Sophie Hargreaves breaks down the patterns that will decide this one.

River Plate sit second in the Liga Profesional but their home form is far from convincing. Barracas Central travel to El Monumental unbeaten in their last four away matches and they will fancy their chances.

Two mid-table Argentine Liga Profesional sides who can't quite put it together meet at Parque Patricios on Sunday. Huracán need a home win badly. Banfield are a nightmare to host. This one has goals written all over it.
