Huracán trolled River Plate on social media following their 2-1 away victory at the Monumental stadium on Saturday. The official account of El Globo posted a joke referencing the situation of players who were exiled from the Millionaire's squad at the Cantilo training ground in previous months.
The post, shared after the final whistle, played on the typical phrase "no me la contés" (don't tell me), changing it to "No me la container". The message was accompanied by a face-with-tears-of-joy emoji. With this, Huracán's social media manager made a direct reference to the period when several River players were marginalized and trained separately from the main group.
Although no players remain in that situation currently, the joke was used to mock the recently defeated rival. Later, the same account posted a photo of full-back Lucas Blondel celebrating his goal, which was the definitive 2-1, with the caption "Se comió a Beltrán". This phrase was a pun on the surname of River's goalkeeper, Franco Armani, and journalist Morena Beltrán, with whom Blondel had a public relationship.
Huracán's win, achieved with goals from Óscar Cortés and Blondel, interrupted River's home streak. Tomás Galván had temporarily equalized for the Núñez side in the second half. Visiting manager Diego Martínez celebrated the result emphatically with his coaching staff on the Monumental pitch.
The defeat leaves River having dropped valuable points at home, a situation that can be reviewed in the standings table. The team must now focus on their next fixture, which is listed on the fixtures calendar.
These social media posts are another example of how Argentine football transcends what happens within the four lines of the pitch. Rivalry and banter extend to digital platforms, where clubs interact directly with their fans and, at times, with their adversaries. River's squad, for its part, will need to analyze this setback to correct mistakes for the immediate future. The full list of players available for the next match can be found in the squad section.
