"We want more," declared the coach Diego Dabove who leads Huracán, Sporting Cristal's next opponent in Phase 3 of the Copa Libertadores. An optimistic comment from the 50-year-old coach who is having a good moment with 'Globo', which in 2023 has played eight games between the Liga Profesional, Libertadores, and Copa Argentina with a promising record of six wins and two draws, making them one of the best clubs in Argentine soccer so far this season.

Huracán showed great offensive power in their first game in the Liga Profesional Argentina. The convincing 4-2 victory against Defensa y Justicia was a warning. In the rest of their games, Huracán has grown in performance and has become stronger as a team. In fact, they have made their defense a solid point with Gastón Sauro and Fernando Tobio as leaders. The defenders are an important support for goalkeeper Lucas Chaves, who has had a good performance by going four games without conceding a goal.

In the last match, Huracán's defense was put to the test as Boston River also had goal opportunities in a match that was back and forth. At the Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó, the Uruguayan team was betrayed by the details against an opponent that played with a backline of four. This deactivated the ideas of their opponent, who never found the route to qualify as a visitor.
