On Oct 22nd, Patronato hosts Huracán at Estadio Presbítero Bartolomé Grella in a clash of these two mismatched Superliga teams.

Héctor Acevedo scored the first goal for Patronato in the 9th minute on a penalty kick, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Godoy Cruz was frustrated by Patronato’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Patronato ended the match with the shutout victory. Patronato is looking for direction having 4 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches, while 5th placed Huracán is fresh off their 3-1 win against Estudiantes.
