Unión reserves' fate in Córdoba, with one eye elsewhere: where to watch? | OneFootball

The crucial moment has arrived for Unión de Santa Fe’s Reserve team. The red-and-white side will face Instituto this Wednesday starting at 3:00 p.m. at La Agustina. It is the final match of the regular phase in Zone A of the Proyección Tournament, a clash in which the Santa Fe team must win to keep their hopes of qualifying for the quarterfinals alive.

The zone standings are extremely tight. Argentinos Juniors and River Plate lead with 28 points; Racing Club and Atlético Tucumán are close behind with 27, while Rosario Central, Talleres, and Unión complete the chasing pack with 26 points.

With this scenario, a draw or a loss would leave the Tatengue out of contention. The only possible path is to take all three points in Córdoba to reach 29 points and, from there, start doing the math while hoping the combination of other results goes in their favor.

The mathematical scenarios Tate needs

To book their place in the next round, in addition to beating La Gloria, Unión need at least two of their direct rivals to drop points. The key matches they will be watching closely are the following:

In addition, the team will also keep one eye on the leaders’ matches: River will visit Banfield and Argentinos Juniors will face Gimnasia de Mendoza. Although both are one step ahead, any slip-up could alter the order of the qualifiers.

With all matches scheduled simultaneously at 3:00 p.m., the day promises maximum tension. The premise for Unión’s Reserve team is clear: first do their job in Alta Córdoba and then hope luck is on their side in the other stadiums to stay in the title race.
