Unión seems to have left behind its uneven start to the Clausura Tournament and found a much more convincing version of itself. After recording one draw, one win, and three losses in its opening matches, Leonardo Madelón’s team responded and put together performances that restored confidence.
The turning point came against Aldosivi, where El Tatengue earned a win that meant much more than just three points. The team looked more solid, regained confidence, and found footballing answers that it then carried into its match against Sarmiento, with a commanding 4-1 victory at the 15 de Abril.
One of the things that changed the most was balance. Unión managed to defend more securely, handle different phases of the match, and above all, make the most of the chances it created. That combination of solidity and efficiency allowed it to show a completely different image.
The goalscoring emergence of Cristian Tarragona was also decisive, as he finally found the net and once again showed his ability to finish the chances the team creates.
Another major reason for optimism was the return of Ignacio Malcorra. The midfielder got minutes again after his injury and quickly brought clarity, experience, and quality to the attacking play. He also capped his return with an excellent goal.
With these latest results, Unión regained confidence and changed the feeling it had left during the opening stretch of the tournament. Now, the challenge for Madelón and his players will be to maintain this level, stay consistent, and prove that the response was not just an isolated moment.
