Unión, the most dangerous side in the Apertura regular season | OneFootball

While attention in the Apertura is already focused on the final between Belgrano and River, the numbers are still showing signs of Unión’s campaign, and one fact stands out above the rest: it ended up being the most dangerous team of the entire regular phase.

The red-and-white dream came to a halt in the quarterfinals, but the journey left a very clear identity. Unión were an aggressive, direct team with a consistent attacking approach for much of the tournament. Something now backed up by the statistics as well.

Unión, the most dangerous of all

According to DataMoroni’s report, the Santa Fe side topped the LPF 2026 “offensive threat” ranking. They finished first in a table combining goals, xG, shots, touches in the box, crosses, and deep attacks. River and Rosario Central followed behind.

The fact is no small matter: Unión scored 24 goals, generated an xG of 22.53, and were the team with the most shots in the entire championship with 231 attempts. They also showed a very clear trait in the way they attacked: playing wide and constantly punishing with crosses into the box. No one attacked so much down the flanks or maintained such attacking volume from the wings.
