Aldosivi stun Unión in Santa Fe, win 2-0 | OneFootball

Unión played poorly and fell at home against the bottom team. This Friday, Tate couldn’t overcome Aldosivi (who won their first match of the tournament), who defeated them 2-0 in Santa Fe with goals from Justo Giani (63′) and Cerato (90′+8).

The Santa Fe side lost after 6 matches unbeaten, but now have 3 without a win, with 2 draws and 1 loss. They haven’t won at home since the first matchday (1-0 against Estudiantes). Today marked their fourth match without a victory at the 15 de Abril stadium, with 3 draws and tonight’s setback.

Next Friday, they visit Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero. In the 4th minute, the first to threaten was the Tiburón with a direct shot from Giani that found Tagliamonte well positioned.

The match was even, the visitors approached the red-and-white goal, but the clearest chance was for Unión. A shot from Mauro Pittón hit the crossbar, bounced on the line, and went out. Tate came very close to opening the score.

The duel became a battle in midfield, where Aldosivi crowded the field with midfielders and didn’t allow Madelón’s team to think.

Aldosivi controlled a Unión without surprises, who, except for Mauro’s shot, generated nothing in attack. Tate looked uncomfortable in the match.

The home side went looking for it in the final minutes but struggled to finish plays when entering the opponent’s area, or Carranza appeared to block Tarragona’s goal attempt with his legs. The home team was slightly superior.

Near the end, Cabral missed a clear chance, sending the ball high with the whole goal at his disposal. Seconds later, De la Vega ran into Taglia, who saved his goal from falling. The Tiburón troubled Unión in a minute at the end of the first half. They went to halftime tied at zero, and it was fair.

In the second half, at 61’, Del Blanco crossed, the ball fell to Tarragona and it just wasn’t meant to be. Once again, Madelón’s team was millimeters away from scoring. Aldosivi responded. First, they put the red-and-white goal in danger, and then came the goal. Corner kick, and Giani at 63’, with a header, opened the scoring for the visitors… and it was deserved. Unión marked very poorly on every set piece.

The hosts were shaken, and Tiburón almost scored again but failed in front of Tagliamonte.

The final minutes saw Unión desperately searching for a goal, while the visiting side held on, sitting back and trying to counter to seal the win.

Aldosivi delayed everything they could, and between a bad night and the clock, Unión was trapped by their own impotence. Near the end, a lethal counter and Cerato made it 2-0. A night to forget for Unión.

An unexpected defeat for Tate at home. The leader had no answers against the bottom team, who played a final in Santa Fe.
