Cristian Tarragona on fire as Unión relish Argentina’s 2026 top scorer | OneFootball

Cristian Tarragona has lit up Unión’s week, scoring four times in two matches to reignite their Torneo Clausura push. The forward’s response followed a public call for more service.

After the defeat at San Lorenzo in Boedo, he said the side were not creating enough chances for their strikers, according to Radiogol.com. He answered in the way strikers know best, with goals.

First came Mar del Plata, a 3-1 win over Aldosivi, where Tarragona struck twice after the break to turn the game. He was one of the outstanding performers.

On Friday at 15 de Abril he added two more against Sarmiento in a 4-1 victory, securing Unión’s second straight Clausura success. He opened with a fine long-range effort past Thyago Ayala, then made it two for his team after the interval.

He is top of Argentina’s 2026 scoring charts on 15, split eight in the Apertura, five in the Clausura and two in the Copa Argentina. He is three clear of Agustín Módica, with Gabriel Ávalos and Jordy Caicedo on 11 and Junior Marabel on 10.

The upturn has steadied Leonardo Madelón’s campaign, with six points from six and a temporary move into the playoff positions. At 35, Tarragona is central to Unión’s recovery.
