Huracán receives Sporting Cristal, from Peru, in the first leg of Phase 3 of the Copa Libertadores de América that will qualify for the group stage.
The match will be played from 9:00 p.m. at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium, with arbitration by the Uruguayan Andrés Matonte and will be televised by Fox Sports and Pluto TV.
The return will be next Thursday at the National Stadium in Lima and the winner will enter the group stage of the most important tournament on the continent, while the loser will play the Copa Sudamericana.
The "Globo" came to this instance after eliminating Boston River, from Uruguay, after a goalless draw in Montevideo and winning 1-0 at Parque de los Patricios with a penalty goal from Matías Cóccaro.
Sporting Cristal, meanwhile, left Nacional, from Paraguay, on the road after losing 2-0 in Asunción and reversing the key at home with a 5-1 victory that was defined in the last 20 minutes.
Entering the Copa Libertadores will represent an income of 3 million dollars and an extra prize of 300 thousand of the same currency per match won.
Instead, the Copa Sudamericana pays 900,000 dollars for participating in the group stage and 100,000 for each win.
Sporting Cristal is a historical team in the Copa Libertadores with 36 participations and a remembered second place in the 1997 edition.
