BUENOS AIRES (Interstat) — Newell’s Old Boys opened its Primera Nacional season with a 2-0 road victory over Huracan on Saturday, defying pregame projections. Substitute Luciano Ramón Herrera broke the deadlock in the 27th minute at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó, and fellow substitute Carlos González doubled the lead just eight minutes later. Both second-half goals were assisted off the bench, with Víctor Cuesta setting up Herrera and Juan García providing for González. The result was an upset, as statistical models heavily favored the home side. Newell’s begins the campaign at 1-0-0, while Huracan starts 0-1-0.
