What Unión need to do to qualify in the tournament | OneFootball

Madelón’s team finished all its Torneo Apertura fixtures yesterday and still has to wait to find out whether it qualifies among the top eight in the group or is left out. The dramatic draw against Talleres left it in a better position than if it had failed to pick up a point. Now the only team that can overtake it and leave it out is Defensa y Justicia, which plays tomorrow against Gimnasia (M).

Unión is in eighth place with 21 points, followed by El Halcón with 19. The best-case scenario is for Mariano Soso’s team to draw or lose. The other team that could overtake Unión, but only by a miracle, is Instituto. La Gloria is in tenth place with 18 points, and to move ahead of Unión, it would have to win by more than 6 goals and hope Defensa does not win.

This is how the Zona A standings look.

The truth is that Unión missed last night the chance to secure a direct ticket to the knockout stage. If it qualifies, it will do so in eighth place. Now it will have to keep an eye on what happens in Mendoza starting at 5 p.m., when Gimnasia (M) faces Defensa.
