Unión start with a smile in Uruguay: beat Alianza Lima 2-1

In their first friendly match, Unión left behind more than just a positive result. It was 2-1 against Alianza Lima in Uruguay, and a first impression that Madelón’s team started 2026 with a recognizable idea and, above all, an attitude that made them superior for much of the match.

From the start, Unión pressed high, played in the opponent’s half, and capitalized on their mistakes, but also created their own chances. The early goal, the result of a blunder, didn’t change the plan: Unión continued to be the protagonist, controlled the tempo in the first half, and was closer to scoring a second than to conceding an equalizer.
