The 15 de Abril Stadium witnessed a defining performance by Rafael Profini last Monday. In the context of the third round of the Apertura, Unión convincingly defeated Gimnasia de Mendoza 4-0, with the midfielder as the absolute protagonist after scoring a goal and showing outstanding physical prowess.

At the end of the match, the midfielder did not hide his satisfaction with the team's performance: “Very happy with this victory,” he expressed. Profini explained that the team had a football debt after the start of the tournament and valued the reunion with victory: “We had a bitter taste from the first matches and today we confirmed it with our people, winning by a landslide. It was very important for us.”

Despite the decisive result, the player remained grounded and is already focused on the next commitment in Santiago del Estero. “It was an obligation to win, but we must not relax. Now we have to go and get something in Santiago,” he stated firmly.

The value of effort and the coach's confidence

For Profini, the goal scored represented the reward for a long journey of sacrifice. “It's a unique situation after so many years of effort, that's why I'm very happy,” he confessed with emotion. Regarding his current role in the starting team, he added: “I am calm, waiting for the chance and trying to take advantage of it, always thinking about helping the team.”

Finally, the midfielder gave details about Leonardo Madelón's tactical request for the central zone, something he fulfilled perfectly by reaching the opposing area: “Leo asks us to do simple things in the middle, to support and reach the area.”
