Matías Tagliamonte was the standout figure in Unión's 1-0 victory over Newell’s in Rosario, for the 14th round of zone A of the Clausura Tournament, a result that allowed them to regain the lead and break a 23-year streak without winning at Parque Independencia.

The red-and-white goalkeeper was decisive at several moments during the match and, after the final whistle, he analyzed what happened: “Luckily it was a good night. I think it was a good game, we were focused, not only as a group but also collectively. We played a very interesting game.”

Tagliamonte acknowledged that his prominence was also due to the opponent's offensive power: “When the goalkeeper becomes the standout figure it's because there were complications in defense, but the reality is that we had a very tough team in front of us, which is not going through its best moment and pushed forward.”

The goalkeeper highlighted one of the most crucial saves of the match: “I think the one against (Gonzalo) Maroni was the most complicated. I just got my hand in.”

Regarding the overall performance of the team, he valued the effectiveness at key moments: “I don't know how many chances we had, but we created several clear ones, like in the first half. We were effective.”

Finally, the man from Santa Fe expressed his happiness for the result and what it means for the group: “We'll see how things play out in the round, but we are very happy heading back to Santa Fe.”
