Unión off to a flying start in Uruguay: beat Alianza Lima 2-1

In their first friendly match, Unión left more than just a positive result. It was 2-1 against Alianza Lima in Uruguay and a first impression that Madelón's team started 2026 with a recognizable idea and, above all, an attitude that made them superior during much of the match.

Unión pressed high from the start, played in the opponent's field, and took advantage of others' mistakes, but also created their own chances. The early goal, the result of a blooper, didn't change the plan: Unión continued to be the protagonist, controlled the pace of the first half, and was closer to scoring a second than suffering an equalizer.
