Everyone's helping Unión: El Rojo lost 2-0 to Riestra | OneFootball

Deportivo Riestra finally broke the jinx and earned its first win in the Apertura Tournament on Matchday 16. At Guillermo Laza Stadium, and thanks to goals from Mariano Bracamonte and Pedro Ramírez, Malevo claimed a 2-0 win over Independiente, who were unable to secure their place in the Round of 16 from Zone A and will now have to fight for it 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 above Quinteros’ side, and climb a few spots with hopes of finishing among the top 16 teams in Argentine football. This good news comes on top of Defensa y Justicia’s 4-0 home loss to Boca Juniors. El Tate knows that even if they lose, they will still remain above El Halcón thanks to a much better goal difference (+4 compared to -2).

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