He's 16, arrived from Paraná this year and was Unión's hero v San Lorenzo | OneFootball

Unión earned an important win this Wednesday against San Lorenzo in the eighth round of the Proyección Clausura. El Tatengue came away with a 1-0 victory on the road, and the standout player was Santiago Rubinich, the young prospect who stepped up to score the match’s only goal.

Rubinich was born on January 1, 2010, is from Chajarí, Entre Ríos, and is just 16 years old. He joined Unión this year from Paraná and quickly began carving out a place for himself within the club’s youth setup.

The midfielder started for the team coached by Alejandro Trionfini and had his big moment in the second half. In the 24th minute of the second half, Rubinich found the net to make it 1-0, giving the red-and-white side three important points.

What makes it notable is that the player is still of Sixth Division age, since he was born in 2010, but he has been gaining experience in a higher category and made the most of his opportunity in the Proyección Tournament.

For Unión, the win had special value because it ended a run of seven straight draws. In addition, the team remains unbeaten in the competition and moved up to 10 points, staying close to the playoff qualification spots.

Rubinich’s name is now starting to gain attention within a group of young players looking to take their first steps in the reserve team. At just 16 years old, the Chajarí-born footballer already had a special night: he scored at San Lorenzo’s ground and gave Unión a victory that could prove important in the fight to advance to the next stage.
