BUENOS AIRES, April 27 (Xinhua) — A second-half strike from Ivan Morales gave Argentinos Juniors a 2-1 away win over Huracan in Argentina’s Apertura tournament on Monday.
The hosts opened the scoring through Facundo Waller, who pounced on a loose ball before firing a first-time effort into the far corner.
Tomas Molina equalized by timing his run to perfection to head in after Sebastian Prieto’s floating diagonal cross.
Ivan Morales completed the turnaround just after the hour as he controlled Facundo Jainikoski’s pass and finished clinically past goalkeeper Hernan Galindez.
Argentinos Juniors is now third in Group B with 29 points, four behind leader Independiente Rivadavia, while Huracan is seventh, eight points further back.
In Monday’s only other Argentine top-flight match, a 68th-minute goal from Agustin Colazo earned Union Santa Fe a 2-2 away draw with Velez Sarsfield.
Florian Monzon scored either side of Juan Palacio’s 16th-minute goal but Colazo equalized by nodding in after Lautaro Vargas’ cross.
Velez is now third in Group A, seven points ahead of eighth-placed Union. ■
