The Cyclone dominates the head-to-head rivalry against the Globo, marking one of the most lopsided clashes in Argentine football history.
San Lorenzo and Huracán headline the fiercest Buenos Aires derby in Argentine football, a fixture with a century-long history. Their first meeting occurred on April 1, 1915 in a friendly that Huracán won 3-1. Since that day, the head-to-head balance has heavily favored San Lorenzo, who have built a storied supremacy over their closest traditional rival through some of the most memorable moments in Argentine football.
In the 2022 LPF season, San Lorenzo sealed a 1-0 victory that snapped an infamous stretch of Salamanca-like misfortune, ending a long streak without defeats against Huracán. The Parque de los Patricios club had gone eight straight derbies without a loss in regular time, though they were eliminated on penalties in the 2019 Super League Cup after a 0-0 draw before extra time. The last win for Huracán came on May 13, 2017, when Marcos Angileri netted the decisive goal in a 1-0 triumph during the 2016-17 Super League.
