In a thrilling match on the 10th day of the Apertura, Unión and Independiente sealed a 4-4 draw that left a bittersweet taste for the Santa Fe team after squandering a considerable lead.

At the end of the duel in Avellaneda, full-back Mateo Del Blanco appreciated the team's effort, although he did not hide his frustration with the final result: “The team played a great match. A spectacular effort, but we leave with anger.” In his view, the draw was due to specific inaccuracies: “It was about details. We knew they sent in a lot of crosses and we had to block them, but then there are things that don't depend on us.”

One of the main points of contention was the refereeing, especially due to the penalty awarded to the «Rojo». On this, the defender was blunt: “I don't think that penalty should have been given, but it is what it is. We leave with anger.”

Despite the bitter taste of the draw, the young player highlighted the competitive image the team left on a difficult pitch. Finally, he took the opportunity to clarify his contractual and professional situation amidst rumors: “I changed my representation, but I remain focused on Unión.”
