Mateo Del Blanco shines for Unión against Gimnasia (LP) | OneFootball

Unión found in Mateo Del Blanco something more than a pleasant surprise: a key tool to maintain their leadership in Zone A of the Clausura Tournament. Trained as a midfielder, he reinvented himself as a full-back and today is one of the most unbalancing pieces. His growth is no longer a promise, it is the present.

Last weekend, he was a standout in the important victory against Gimnasia de La Plata, with a stunning goal that opened the match and energized the team. But his influence goes beyond the goal: he has four assists in the tournament and has already directly contributed to five of Tate's goals. For a player who didn't start the year as a regular starter, the evolution is remarkable.

Del Blanco combines stamina, tactical awareness, and an uncommon ability to unbalance from the back. Although his DNA is that of a midfielder, he adapted to the full-back position with intelligence and offensive aggression. He provides width, breaks lines, and creates superiority in attack. In a team looking to be a protagonist, he has become one of its engines.
