The striking coincidence in Unión's three-win streak | OneFootball

Unión is going through a great spell in the Clausura Tournament and has reached three consecutive victories, a streak it had not managed since the Apertura. The striking thing is that the three opponents it defeated are exactly the same ones it had beaten on that previous occasion.

In the Apertura, the Santa Fe team started the run with a 1-0 win over Aldosivi, then beat Sarmiento 3-1 away from home, and closed the streak with a 2-1 victory against Instituto in Córdoba.

Now, the team coached by Leonardo Madelón has repeated the story, although with even more emphatic results. First it beat Aldosivi 3-1 away from home, then thrashed Sarmiento 4-1 at the 15 de Abril, and finally defeated Instituto 3-1.

The main difference lies in the venues: during the Apertura, Unión won two of those three matches away from home, while in the Clausura it earned two victories in Santa Fe and one away from home.

It also improved its offensive output considerably. In the current streak it scored 10 goals and conceded just three, achieving a +7 goal difference. In the Apertura it had scored six goals and conceded two, with a +4 goal difference.

So, in addition to regaining confidence and picking up important points, Unión achieved a curious coincidence that fuels its fans’ hopes: it once again strung together three consecutive wins, and did so against the same three opponents it had beaten in the first half of the year.
