Boca v Unión: Tatengue seek another 2022 shock at La Bombonera | OneFootball

and Unión will face off this Friday at 9:30 p.m. at La Bombonera, in a match corresponding to Matchday 11 of the First Division Tournament. The game will be officiated by SebastiánMartínez and will feature a curious statistical detail: although the Xeneize overwhelmingly lead the head-to-head record, the last three meetings all ended with the exact same score.

A history trending toward 1-1 draws

Throughout history, the two clubs have faced each other 71 times:

• 36 wins for Boca Juniors. • 16 wins for Unión. • 19 draws.

Despite Boca’s historical blue-and-gold advantage, parity has taken over in the most recent clashes. The latest meeting took place on March 15 of this year, on Matchday 11 of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. That night at the 15 de Abril stadium, Tatengue took the lead with a goal from Julián Palacios, but Miguel Merentiel made it 1-1 for good in the second half. The same scoreline was repeated in Unión’s last visit to La Bombonera, played on July 18, 2025, on the second matchday of the Clausura. On that occasion, Cristian Tarragona scored for the visitors and Lautaro Di Lollo rescued a 1-1 draw for the home side.

The last Tatengue celebration in La Boca

To find Unión’s last victory on Xeneize turf, you have to go back to June 24, 2022. In that year’s Copa de la Liga, the Red-and-White side won 2-1 thanks to penalty goals from Daniel Juárez and Franco Troyansky
