Huracan downs Tigre in Argentine top flight

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- A second-half strike from midfielder Leonardo Gil gave Huracan a 1-0 away win over Tigre in Argentina's Primera Division on Friday.

Huracan withstood a tense final 30 minutes to secure its second win in four games so far this campaign.

Frank Kudelka's side is currently fourth in Group A of the Primera Division's Clausura tournament, three points behind leader Estudiantes, which has a game in hand. Tigre, meanwhile, is 11th in the group, two points further back.
