Unión claim huge Buenos Aires win, beat San Lorenzo and join race | OneFootball

On matchday 8 of the Proyección Clausura Tournament, Unión’s Reserve side took an important step by defeating San Lorenzo 1-0 away from home. With this victory in Bajo Flores, the team led by Alejandro Trionfini reached 10 points in the competition and is now dreaming of fighting for a place in the round of 16.

The only goal of the match came 24 minutes into the second half thanks to Santiago Rubinich’s appearance. From that point on, El Tatengue knew how to hold on to the lead and control the tempo against an always difficult opponent, securing three golden points away from home.

With this win, the Santa Fe side climbed to ninth place in the standings with 10 points, level with Talleres de Córdoba and three points behind Instituto, the last team currently advancing to the next round.

One distinctive feature of the red-and-white side’s campaign is that they still remain unbeaten in the tournament so far. However, the accumulation of seven draws in previous rounds had prevented them from climbing higher, forcing them to take all three points to close the gap in the decisive stretch of the regular stage.

Now, with the peace of mind of staying unbeaten and having ended the run of draws, Unión is already thinking about its next match: it will host Tigre next Wednesday, September 16, starting at 3:00 p.m. in Santa Fe, with the aim of continuing to pick up points and breaking into the top eight.
