Vargas walking a tightrope for Unión ahead of Newell’s clash | OneFootball

For Unión, the match next Friday at the Marcelo Bielsa stadium against Newell’s, starting at 21:15, for matchday 14 of Zone A of the Clausura, will have several stories at play. One of the most important won’t be found in the standings or in set pieces: it will be Lautaro Vargas, who faces the match with a very clear limit.

The Tate’s full-back reached four yellow cards against Defensa y Justicia and, if he receives another, he will miss the next game against Barracas Central in Santa Fe, which still does not have a scheduled date.

For the team, Vargas is no minor detail. His presence brings balance to the defense and a clear outlet down the flank, and losing him would be a blow to the coach’s planning and the rest of the squad. That’s why, in Rosario, while the Tate looks to earn points to stay in the playoff zone, there will be special care taken with their right-back: it will be, literally, a match within the match.

This Friday’s clash will not only measure results: it will also test Unión’s strategy, Vargas’s self-control, and the team’s ability to manage its resources to the limit, in a campaign where every point and every player counts.
