Estudiantes needed to win and the name of Leandro Díaz was vital to get back to three points in the First Division tournament. El Loco scored the third and fourth goals in the 4-1 win over Huracán.
Besides participating in Del Prete’s first goal with a shot at goal that Marcos Díaz blocked and the Uruguayan took advantage of the rebound, the first great action of the former Atlético Tucumán was in the 34th minute when he scored the 3-1 with a penalty kick.
