BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Interstat) — In a stunning upset that defied pregame projections, Central Cordoba secured a 1-0 victory over Huracan on Wednesday in a match from Argentina’s Primera Nacional at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó.

The lone goal of the contest came from Fernando Martínez in the 34th minute, a strike set up by substitute Lucas Abascia, who provided a crucial spark off the bench despite also receiving a yellow card.

The result was a significant departure from statistical forecasts. According to Interstat’s ELO system, Huracan entered the match with a 76.80 percent probability of winning. Furthermore, the organization’s game simulator had projected a high-scoring affair ending with a 2-1 victory for Central Cordoba, a prediction that proved incorrect on both the final score and the winning team.

The match’s decisive moment was born from a second-half substitution. After entering the game, Abascia made an immediate impact, creating the opportunity that led to Martínez’s goal. The assist capped a performance of mixed fortune for Abascia, who was also booked with a yellow card in the 24th minute, shortly after coming onto the pitch.

The game’s physical nature was further evidenced by a late yellow card issued to Huracan’s Matko Miljevic in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time.

Playing on their home pitch, Huracan struggled to break down a disciplined Central Cordoba defense and failed to capitalize on their favored status. The home side was unable to find an equalizer despite the overwhelming odds in their favor before the opening whistle.

The victory provides Central Cordoba with a positive start to their campaign in the Primera Nacional, the second tier of Argentine football. For Huracan, the loss marks a disappointing beginning to their season in the competition. The result leaves both teams with their first official records of the new season across all competitions.

The match, contested between two teams looking to build momentum early in the season, ultimately turned on a single, well-executed play from the visitors, silencing the home crowd and upending all pregame expectations.
