Once Caldas Takes Advantage of the Chaos

At home, Once Caldas capitalized on their opportunities and managed to outlast Huracán in a game that quickly turned into a physical battle rather than a purely tactical contest. The Colombian side maintained composure amid the turbulence and found the crucial moments to impose themselves, ultimately securing qualification to the next round.

Huracán, meanwhile, never found their rhythm. The team’s attempts to generate attacking chances were constantly interrupted by fouls, and the Argentine club saw its hopes slip away with each disciplinary setback.

Red Cards Define the Match

The match featured several heated clashes, with the referee forced to intervene on multiple occasions. Red cards became the decisive factor, tilting the balance in favor of Once Caldas, who exploited the numerical advantage to secure control of the game.

Despite moments of resistance, Huracán could not recover from the expulsions, and the lack of discipline severely compromised their chances of staging a comeback.

With this result, Once Caldas not only celebrates progression in the competition but also sends a clear message about their resilience and ability to thrive under pressure. Huracán, on the other hand, leaves the tournament with many questions to answer regarding discipline and consistency, issues that proved costly in a decisive knockout clash.
