Pérez and Benavídez score, but Unión punished late by Aldosivi | OneFootball

On an afternoon that seemed destined for celebration at the La Tatenguita grounds, Unión de Santa Fe’s reserve team suffered an unexpected emotional setback by drawing 2-2 against Aldosivi. In the second round of the Torneo Apertura Proyección, the team led by Alejandro Trionfini managed to build what seemed like a definitive lead thanks to goals from Benjamín Pérez, just before halftime, and Agustín Benavídez in the 38th minute of the second half. However, “El Tate” failed to seal the deal and ended up paying dearly for their overconfidence in the final moments.

The most striking aspect of the match was the Mar del Plata side’s ability to react, as they achieved the feat while playing with ten men. Despite being outnumbered, “El Tiburón” took advantage of a noticeable retreat and alarming defensive passivity from the home team. In a late burst, Augusto Fernández became the red-and-white executioner by scoring twice, sealing a draw that left the Santa Fe squad with a sense of defeat after having victory within their grasp.

This result leaves a bittersweet feeling for Trionfini’s tenure in 2026. Although the team showed footballing improvement compared to their debut loss against Gimnasia de La Plata, their inability to close out the match prevented them from claiming their first three points of the year. Unión must now quickly work on their defensive focus ahead of their next fixture, which will take place on Monday the 16th at 17:00, when they visit Argentinos Juniors aiming to climb up the standings in Zone A.
