The statistics show that six months have passed since the last time Unión kept a clean sheet. It was on April 3 in the 2-0 home win over Deportivo Riestra.
After that match, El Tate conceded goals in all 18 matches it played, including one in the Copa Argentina, in which it lost 2-0 to Independiente.
The negative streak began in the Apertura Tournament, with 2-1 and 3-2 defeats to Estudiantes and Newell’s. Then came the 2-2 draw with Vélez and the 1-1 draw against Talleres. And in the playoffs, it beat Independiente Rivadavia 2-1 and lost 2-0 to Belgrano.
Meanwhile, in the current Clausura Tournament, El Tate drew 2-2 with Platense and then lost 2-0 to Gimnasia de Mendoza. It then beat Lanús 2-1 and lost 2-1 to Central Córdoba and 1-0 to San Lorenzo.
The run of three straight victories came against Aldosivi 3-1, Sarmiento 4-1, and Instituto 3-2. And now have come three straight defeats against Talleres 2-1, Independiente 2-1, and Boca 3-0.
As things stand, in the last 17 matches played between the Apertura and the Clausura, Unión conceded 30 goals, to which the Copa Argentina match against El Rojo must be added, bringing the total to 32 goals conceded in 18 matches.
With statistics like these, it is impossible for Unión to be a competitive team if it concedes at least one goal in every match.
