Unión eye Independiente: El Rojo after derby draw with San Lorenzo | OneFootball

In the continuation of the ninth round of the Clausura Tournament, Independiente and San Lorenzo drew 1-1 at the Libertadores de América Ricardo Enrique Bochini. The result left a bittersweet feeling for El Rojo, who could not hold on to the lead but extended a historic streak, and now already has its mind set on its next match against Unión.

A derby with stunning goals and history before visiting 15 de Abril

The match began favorably for the Avellaneda side thanks to a goal by Juan Miguel Arrayago, who opened the scoring and gave the home fans hope. However, El Ciclón, beginning the third spell of Rubén Darío Insúa as head coach, responded and earned a point away from home through Facundo Farías, the author of a true gem to seal the final equalizer.

Despite not taking the win, the draw had a historic feel for El Rojo: for the first time in the professional era, Independiente reached ten consecutive matches without losing to San Lorenzo.

On Saturday, the clash against El Tatengue

After this intense derby, the schedule for both teams is already set. While San Lorenzo will focus on hosting none other than Boca at the Nuevo Gasómetro, the squad led by Independiente will pack its bags to travel to the capital of Santa Fe.

Unión will host Independiente next Saturday, in what promises to be a key duel for El Tatengue’s ambitions in the domestic tournament, testing itself against an opponent arriving with the emotional boost of its unbeaten derby streak but also with the need to get back to winning ways.
