Unión switch off late, Aldosivi punish them in reserves | OneFootball

On an afternoon that seemed destined for celebration at the La Tatenguita grounds, Unión de Santa Fe’s reserve team suffered an unexpected emotional setback by drawing 2-2 against Aldosivi. In the second round of the Torneo Apertura Proyección, the team led by Alejandro Trionfini managed to build what seemed like a decisive lead thanks to goals from Benjamín Pérez, just before the end of the first half, and Agustín Benavídez in the 38th minute of the second half. However, “Tate” failed to put the game away and ended up paying dearly for an excess of confidence in the final moments.

The most striking aspect of the match was the Mar del Plata side’s ability to bounce back, pulling off the feat while playing with ten men. Despite being outnumbered, the “Tiburón” took advantage of a marked retreat and alarming defensive passivity from the home team. In a late flurry, Augusto Fernández became the rojiblanco’s executioner by scoring twice, sealing a draw that left the Santa Fe squad with a sense of defeat after having victory within their grasp.

This result leaves a bittersweet balance for Trionfini’s tenure in 2026. Although the team showed footballing improvement compared to their debut loss against Gimnasia de La Plata, their inability to close out the match prevented them from claiming their first three points of the year. Unión will now have to quickly work on defensive focus for their next fixture, which will take place on Monday the 16th at 17:00, when they visit Argentinos Juniors aiming to climb the standings in Zone A.
