This Sunday, August 9, at 3:00 PM, the Nuevo Gasómetro stadium will host a new edition of the Porteño Derby for Matchday 4 of the 2026 Clausura Tournament. San Lorenzo, led by Néstor Gorosito, will attempt to break a seven-game winless streak against their eternal rival, while Diego Martínez's Huracán aims to take the three points in Cuervo territory.

The Biggest Neighborhood Derby in the World

On Sunday, August 9, 2026, starting at 3:00 PM (Argentine time), the Pedro Bidegain Stadium—popularly known as the 'Nuevo Gasómetro'—will dress up to host a new edition of the Porteño Derby, valid for Matchday 4 of the 2026 Clausura Tournament. San Lorenzo and Huracán, both founded in 1908, will clash once again in a match that promises passion, history, and a unique atmosphere in Argentine football.

For international readers unfamiliar with the rivalry, the 'Porteño Derby' (Clásico Porteño) refers to the historic matchup between two of Buenos Aires' most popular clubs. San Lorenzo, nicknamed 'El Ciclón' (The Cyclone) or 'Los Cuervos' (The Ravens), and Huracán, known as 'El Globo' (The Balloon) or 'Los Quemeros' (The Burners), represent the neighboring neighborhoods of Boedo and Parque Patricios, respectively.

A Historical Record Favoring San Lorenzo, but a Present Dominated by Huracán

Although San Lorenzo comfortably dominates the overall historical record, Huracán has become a major headache for them in recent years. The Parque Patricios side has won 2 of the last 3 encounters, and in the last 16 matches, El Ciclón has only managed a single victory (1-0 in the 2022 LPF tournament). Additionally, El Globo will be looking for only their second win ever at the Nuevo Gasómetro, a stadium where they have only triumphed once (in 2001).

Key Historical Stats:

  • 192 matches played.
  • San Lorenzo: 87 wins.
  • Huracán: 49 wins.
  • Draws: 56.

Coaches and Players Speak Out

Huracán's head coach, Diego Martínez, previewed the match in a press conference, stating that it is a 'very beautiful and special game to play'. He also confirmed good news for his team: new signings Nacho Pussetto and Rodrigo Fernández Cedrés will be available and included in the squad, though he did not confirm if they will start. On San Lorenzo's side, manager Néstor Pipo Gorosito has already finalized his squad list and has been working at the club's training facilities to fine-tune the last details.
