The Tatengue coach was chosen as the standout of the day after Unión’s resounding victory, thrashing Gimnasia de Mendoza 4-0 at the 15 de Abril stadium, on a night that marked a turning point at the start of the championship.
The red-and-white team showed its best version since the beginning of the 2026 Mercado Libre Tournament, with solid performance across all lines, intensity in recovering the ball, and efficiency in attack. With authority, Unión was superior to its rival from start to finish and built a victory that allowed them to earn their first three points in the competition.
Behind that performance was the hand of Leonardo Madelón, who read the match perfectly and got the team to respond to his game plan. Order, high pressing, and offensive decisiveness were the keys to an ideal night for Tatengue, who once again became strong at home and inspired hope in their fans.
The recognition as Best Coach of the Matchday only reaffirms the impact of Madelón’s work, as he continues to consolidate his project at Unión and seeks to give the team consistency in a demanding tournament.
In Santa Fe, Tatengue celebrated much more than a rout: they celebrated a convincing performance, a much-needed victory, and the confirmation that, with Madelón in charge, the path is starting to become clear.
