Everyone plays for Unión: the Reds lost 2-0 to Riestra | OneFootball

Deportivo Riestra finally broke the curse and earned its first win of the Apertura Tournament in Matchday 16. At Guillermo Laza Stadium, and thanks to goals from Mariano Bracamonte and Pedro Ramírez, El Malevo claimed a 2-0 win over Independiente, who failed to secure qualification for the Round of 16 in Zone A and will have to fight for their spot in the final matchday against San Lorenzo.

This is very good news for Unión, who know that if they beat Vélez, they will reach 22 points, move one point ahead of Quinteros’ side, and climb a few spots in the race to finish among the top 16 teams in Argentine football. This positive development comes on top of Defensa y Justicia’s 4-0 home loss to Boca Juniors. El Tate know that even if they lose, they will still remain above El Halcón thanks to a wide goal-difference advantage (+4 to -2).

The other results are going their way; now all that’s left is for Madelón’s team to do their part.
