Soccer-Long-Shots Huracan and Platense set for Argentine title decider

After decades spent in the shadow of the country's heavyweights, Huracan are chasing their first league title in over 50 years, with Sunday's final set for the Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero. The team, nicknamed "The Balloon" last lifted the trophy in 1973 under coach Cesar Luis Menotti - who went on to lift the World Cup with Argentina five years later - and now find themselves on the brink of glory once more. Standing in their way are surprise package Platense, who spent more than two decades bouncing between the third and second divisions before promotion to the top flight in 2021. They are now one match away from their first major trophy. Led by coaching duo Sergio Gomez and Favio Orsi, Platense have earned a reputation as giant-killers after sneaking into the knockouts with a sixth-place finish in Group B. They ended Racing Club's six-game unbeaten run in the round of 16, shocked River Plate in a penalty shootout at the Monumental Stadium and edged past San Lorenzo 1-0 in the semi-finals. "Everything that happened to us in the past, we use today to try to be resilient," coach Gomez told reporters ahead of the final. "This is who we are, what we convey and what we leave in each other's hearts: a team that gives its all and fights tooth and nail." HURACAN'S RISE Meanwhile, Huracan, who finished fourth in Group A, made the most of their home advantage in the last 16 to beat Deportivo Riestra 3–2. Then they knocked out two title contenders on the road: Group B leaders Rosario Central 1–0 in the quarter-finals and Independiente on penalties in the semis. Manager Frank Dario Kudelka is now hoping his side can build on the solid form shown in recent months, having come close to lifting the trophy last season with a fourth-place finish. "We are a very good team that can beat anyone, and we have been sustaining this for a long time," Kudelka said after Huracan moved into the Copa Sudamericana knockout stages with a 1-0 win over Brazil's Corinthians on Tuesday. "I've managed in every category of Argentine football and the only thing missing is winning the First Division. This Sunday I have an important opportunity." Beyond the league title, a coveted spot in next year's Copa Libertadores is also on the line, a chance for two unlikely finalists to step onto South America's biggest club stage.

📹 Corinthians fall short, lose and are out of the Sudamericana
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Corinthians needed to win on Argentine soil to avoid depending on a slip-up from América de Cali. They faced a Huracán side that—focused on the upcoming Apertura final in Argentina—rested nine of their regular starters in the initial lineup. But Timão didn't even do their part: they lost 1-0 and are ELIMINATED from the Copa Sudamericana. They were actually qualified for a moment during the unexpected partial defeat of the Colombian team to Racing. But they were left out after América—who had won only one game in Group C—found a 1-1 equalizer in the 95th minute. This exit comes after Corinthians had already failed to reach the group stage of the Libertadores. Check out the best moments of the match below (Available only in Brazil) They had the ball, but... Corinthians had more possession already in the first half. But they struggled to create against a well-organized opponent in their own half. It was a game more 'fought' than 'played' before halftime. The best chance of the first half was Sequeira's, who was denied by Hugo Souza. Timão only really threatened when Martínez found himself in a good position, but sent it over the bar. Huracán scores, unexpected goal and tension and... ELIMINATION! Dorival bet on Talles Magno for the second half. But saw Huracán strike lethally before the second minute. Recovered and out for two months, Garro was brought on earlier than expected. Corinthians needed at least a draw, since América de Cali was also stumbling. Garro's entrance—back after two months—breathed new life into Timão. The Argentine midfielder even nearly scored from a free kick. Then the unexpected happened in Colombia. After a completely misguided play by goalkeeper Soto, Fonseca pounced on the rebound and scored for Racing—who were being completely dominated. Timão complained about a penalty on Garro. And kept trying. At the same time, América de Cali fought in front of their fans against the great performance of Amade and his teammates. Their fight was rewarded in the 95th minute, when the Corinthians match had already ended. Jean Pestaña was the hero for Cali. And the villain for the black-and-whites. FINAL situation in the group 📊 Huracán was already qualified. And secured first place—and a direct spot in the round of 16—by reaching 14 points. América de Cali struggled, but earned a point against Racing, celebrated Corinthians' defeat, and advanced. They finished with the same eight points, but go to the playoffs for having a better goal difference (two to zero). On Sunday (the 1st), Timão will host Vitória at Neo Química Arena. This match is for the 11th round of the Brasileirão—the last before the break for the World Cup. 📸 EITAN ABRAMOVICH - AFP or licensors

📋 Corinthians line-up for Copa Sudamericana clash in Argentina
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. The time of truth has arrived for Corinthians in the 2025 South American Cup. Later, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), Timão visits Huracán. The game will be held at El Palacio, in Buenos Aires. And it's valid for the sixth and final round of Group C of the situation 📊 Corinthians only depends on itself to advance, but it cannot stumble. Timão has eight points, occupying the second position. Rival for tonight, Huracán leads with 11. And a good advantage in goal difference, which is the first tiebreaker criterion. There are eight goals in favor, against one from Dorival Júnior's team. In other words: it will advance in first place unless it loses by a three-goal difference. Corinthians needs to do its part to secure at least a spot in the playoffs, as a stumble tends to mean elimination. In third place with seven points, América de Cali will host the zero-point Racing Montevideo. It is likely that they will defeat the only team without points in the current edition of the South American Cup and go to ten points. Advancing to the playoffs will guarantee a prize of $500,000 (R$ 2.8 million). Huracán 🇦🇷 The focus of the team commanded by Frank Kudelka is on the decision of the Argentine Apertura. They dispatched Deportivo Riestra, Rosário Central, and Independiente to face another surprise, Platense, in the decision next Sunday (1st). The expectation is that Kudelka will preserve some starters. The lineup has not been released yet. Corinthians 🦅 Dorival Júnior preserved starters against Atlético-MG, thinking precisely about the game of life or death tonight. They lost Yuri Alberto, who suffered a fracture in the transverse process of the L1 vertebra, on the right side, after suffering a blow to the lumbar region. But they returned to count on Memphis and Garro. The Dutchman tends to be a reference. Already the midfielder starts on the bench - which was already expected. Photo: Fernando Bueno / Corinthians
