Unión switch gears, focus on their last big aim this half | OneFootball

Being eliminated by Belgrano at the Gigante de Alberdi forced Unión to turn the page immediately. With little time to dwell on the blow suffered in Córdoba, the red-and-white squad began its return to Santa Fe this Wednesday with its focus on what lies ahead.

In Córdoba, after breakfast at the team hotel, the delegation headed back to the provincial capital, where the schedule will continue with lunch, rest, and another training session set for 6 p.m. at the Casasol complex.

The Copa Argentina, Unión’s last challenge before the break

With the Apertura Tournament already over for Unión following the 2-0 defeat to Belgrano, all of the squad’s energy will now be focused on the Copa Argentina.

Leonardo Madelón’s team is awaiting official confirmation of the date to face Independiente, in a clash that is shaping up to be the final commitment of this first part of the season before the start of the vacation break.

An intense half-season for Unión

After securing a playoff spot almost at the very end of the regular phase, the team surprised many by knocking out Independiente Rivadavia in Mendoza, although it could not repeat that feat in Alberdi.

Now the focus will be exclusively on the cup match against Independiente (May 31 or June 7), which could become an important opportunity to end the half-season on a different note and remain in contention in a tournament that grants international qualification.

Meanwhile, expectations are also beginning to grow around Leonardo Madelón’s future, as he left the door open to taking a break after the elimination against Belgrano. However, for now, the squad continues working as usual and with an immediate objective ahead.
