Unión edge Tiburón at 15 de Abril, celebrate crucial win | OneFootball

Under the narration of Sergio "Chango" López and the commentary of Nacho Pettinari through the screen of Radio Gol, Unión returned to victory this Sunday night. In a match valid for the 6th round of the Apertura, Leonardo Madelón's team defeated Aldosivi 1-0 with a sacred shout from Cristian Tarragona, securing three vital points to stay in the playoff zone.

From the start, the Tatengue tried to set the pace with high pressure led by Marcelo Estigarribia, who warned early with a long-distance shot. However, as the minutes passed, Guillermo Farré's scheme managed to "flatten" the game, taking the rhythm away from a Unión that was fading in intentions. The first half ended amidst controversies—a penalty claimed for a handball in the visitors' area—and refereeing by Luis Lobo Medina that generated reproaches from the stands.

In the second half, Madelón made changes from the bench with the entry of Misael Aguirre to break the monotony. The match entered a phase of inaccuracies and tension, to the point that the "15 de Abril" began to demand more effort. The turning point came at 20 minutes: Junior Arias missed a clear chance for the visitors and, in the next play, the law of football was fulfilled. Cristian Tarragona did not forgive in the area and sealed the definitive 1-0.

Despite the lead, the ending was dramatic. Unión dangerously retreated and Aldosivi threatened to equalize, forcing extreme defensive interventions. The Tate could have finished it off on the counter, but the lack of accuracy extended the suspense until the final whistle. It was a tight and hard-fought victory, but fundamental to regain smiles among their fans.
