Matías Tagliamonte was the standout figure in Unión's 1-0 victory over Newell's in Rosario, for the 14th round of zone A of the Torneo Clausura, a result that allowed them to regain the lead and break a 23-year streak without winning at Parque Independencia.

The red-and-white goalkeeper was decisive at various points during the match and, after the final whistle, he analyzed what happened: “Luckily, it was a good night. I think it was a good match, we were focused, not only as a group but also collectively. We played a very interesting game.”

Tagliamonte acknowledged that his prominence was also due to the opponent's offensive power: “When the goalkeeper becomes the standout figure, it's because there were complications in defense, but the reality is that we had a very tough team in front of us, which is not going through its best moment and pushed forward.”

The goalkeeper highlighted one of the most crucial saves of the match: “I think the one against (Gonzalo) Maroni was the most complicated. I just got my hand in.”

Regarding the team's overall performance, he appreciated the effectiveness in key moments: “I don't know how many chances we had, but we created several clear ones, like in the first half. We were effective.”
