Huracán won an entertaining classic and defeated San Lorenzo 2-0 on the seventh date of the Apertura Tournament of the Professional League. With goals from Fabio Pereyra and Rodrigo Cabral, Globo settled in Zone A while Ciclón continues to fight in Zone B.
After a strong incident with punches in the stands related to a conflict with the fans, the duel began with great intensity. Frank Darío Kudelka’s team struck quickly and in just 11 minutes they opened the score. After a foul on Walter Mazzantti, Leonardo Gil put the cross into the area and Fabio Pereyra anticipated everyone with a header in the area to break the tie.
Miguel Ángel Russo’s team immediately had the chance to equalize with a cross from the right that Alexis Cuello won, but the ball hit the post and, in the second play, Malcom Braida deflected a shot from inside the area.
From then on, the match became more tied than played and with few goal-scoring opportunities. As the minutes passed in the second half, the visitors moved forward in search of the tie and the locals tried to take advantage of the spaces in the back and were unable to break through Orlando Gill’s goal again, until Emmanuel Ojeda left Rodrigo Cabral alone, who crossed it and sealed the second.
The final result was 2-0 for Huracán, who reached 12 points and climbed to sixth place in Zone A of the Apertura Tournament of the Professional League, while San Lorenzo was left with 14 points and is in fourth place in Zone B.
Valentino Gómez’s transfer to Udinese fell through and he returns to Vélez
Due to Foster Gillett’s failure to pay the money, Valentín Gómez’s transfer to Udinese finally fell through. The long-running soap opera reached its end this Sunday, February 23, the deadline that the businessman’s group had to make the deposit of 8,500,000 dollars, and in the meantime the defender will return to Vélez.
Just as it happened last year with River and until not long ago with Cruzeiro, the outstanding 21-year-old center back who comes from being a champion with Fortín once again suffers a collapse in the negotiations for his departure and will not play in Europe. This time, the crux of the problem had Gillett as its main factor, who is in the eye of the storm these days due to irregularities in the economic agreement with Estudiantes and because the money for the termination clause for Rodrigo Villagra did not appear and his future outside River is an unknown.
The fear that hovered in Liniers and for which there was a strong clash between Fabián Berlanga and Augusto Costa, president and vice president of Vélez, became reality: specifically, the multimillionaire did not pay and the transfer of Gómez was cut short.
Watch out, River: Brazil could be Rodrigo Villagra’s destination
One of the novels of the market for River, in this case of an inevitable exit, is that of Rodrigo Villagra. The footballer, who trains separately and who did not even travel to the preseason with the Millionaire, could finally emigrate to a neighboring country. Although Santos gave up on his signing and the Foster Gillett Group seems to have completely fallen through, just as happened in the last few hours with the transfer of Valentín Gómez, another Brazilian club is interested in the former Talleres midfielder.
Vasco da Gama would be the main interested party for the central midfielder, who recently gave an ultimatum to the businessman’s group. Considering that the Brazilian team got rid of Pablo Galdames in January and the midfielder Praxedes in August, Villagra would be their main target to reinforce the midfield.
However, they know that it will not be cheap. River bought him in February 2024 for 11 million euros and wants to recover as much as possible from that large investment, so they are not desperate to sell him and are waiting for the resolution of Gillett, who had promised almost 10 million net dollars but has not yet accredited them. The deal with the investment group seems to have fallen through and his two possible destinations have vanished: his transfer to CSKA Moscow was not resolved and Santos withdrew from the market.
