Unión outclass Racing and bag a huge win at El Cilindro | OneFootball

Unión gave a great display of efficiency in Avellaneda and defeated Racing 3-2 in a thrilling match on the seventh date of the Professional League. The goals for Tate were scored by Marcelo Estigarribia, Cristian Tarragona, and Augusto Solari, while for La Academia, Adrián “Maravilla” Martínez and Facundo Mura had opened the scoring.

At 13 minutes, Mauro Pittón surprised everyone with a precise shot that opened the scoring and silenced the Cilindro. But the goal ended up being disallowed due to a controversial offside position. Arasa interpreted that Marcelo Estigarribia’s position interfered with Gabriel Arias’s vision and reaction.

However, the response from La Academia didn’t take long: at 22 minutes, Adrián “Maravilla” Martínez took advantage of a rebound from Tagliamonte and scored the equalizer, giving the home team a breath of fresh air.

The blow didn’t unsettle Tatengue, who stayed firm and looked to attack down the wings. And they succeeded: Marcelo Estigarribia, with a header, made it 1-1 at 28 minutes and reignited the red-and-white hopes.

Before halftime, in a lethal burst, Tarragona appeared to extend the lead with a striker’s goal after a great cross from Mateo Del Blanco. Thus, Unión went to the locker room with a deserved advantage for what they had done in the first 45 minutes.

In the second half, Tate understood they needed to stay calm and wait for their moment. Racing, forced by the deficit, tried to push forward and created some chances, but found a well-organized Unión with a solid defense that managed to neutralize every attempt.

The cherry on top came at 38 minutes into the second half, when Augusto Solari, a former Academia player, finished with class to make it a definitive 3-1. Out of respect for Racing fans, the midfielder refrained from celebrating, although the roar from all of Unión echoed loudly.

Near the end, there was still time for Facundo Mura to score a great goal and add some spice to the end of the match.

With this victory, Madelón’s team not only secured a resounding win, but also made it clear that they are going through a good and solid moment.

Unión: Matías Tagliamonte; Lautaro Vargas, Juan Pablo Ludueña, Valentín Fascendini, and Mateo Del Blanco; Julián Palacios, Mauro Pittón, Mauricio Martínez, and Franco Fragapane; Marcelo Estigarribia and Cristian Tarragona.
