Unión stun San Lorenzo in Buenos Aires, back in the hunt | OneFootball

On Matchday 8 of the Proyección Clausura Tournament, Unión’s reserve team took an important step by defeating San Lorenzo 1-0 away from home. With this victory in Bajo Flores, the team coached by Alejandro Trionfini reached 10 points in the competition and is hopeful of fighting for qualification to the round of 16.

The only goal of the match came in the 24th minute of the second half thanks to Santiago Rubinich’s appearance. From then on, El Tatengue managed to hold onto the lead and control the tempo against an always difficult opponent, securing three golden points away from home.

With this win, the Santa Fe side climbed to ninth place in the standings with 10 points, level with Talleres de Córdoba and three points behind Instituto, which is currently the last team advancing to the next stage.

One distinctive fact about the red-and-white campaign is that they still remain unbeaten so far in the tournament. However, the accumulation of seven draws in the previous rounds had prevented them from climbing higher, forcing them to take all three points to close the gap in the decisive stretch of the regular stage.

Now, with the peace of mind of staying unbeaten and having ended the streak of draws, Unión is already thinking about its next commitment: they will host Tigre next Wednesday, September 16, starting at 15:00 in Santa Fe, with the goal of continuing to pick up points and break into the top eight.
