Unión held by Sportivo Las Parejas: Corvalán’s return steals the show | OneFootball

In a 90-minute morning scrimmage (divided into three 30-minute blocks), Unión’s alternate team drew 0-0 against Sportivo Las Parejas, who are getting ready for the start of the Torneo Federal A. Beyond the result, the focus was on the return of a key player and the forced absences in goal.

The return of Claudio Corvalán

The big news was the participation of Claudio Corvalán, who got a “little bit” of playing time in the second half. The defender, who had been sidelined and training separately throughout the start of the year due to a technical decision, made his first appearance on the field so far in 2026. His return to action raises expectations about his possible full reintegration into the main squad.

The goal, a puzzle for Leo Madelón

With injuries to Federico Gómes Gerth and Lucas Meuli, the responsibility of guarding the net fell to Agustín Chávez. The young player was tasked with keeping a clean sheet in the absence of the team’s two main goalkeepers, who are both recovering from their respective physical issues.

Unión’s starting lineup

The “Tate” initially lined up with an eleven made up of players looking to earn a spot in the starting team:

Chávez; Álvarez, Paz, Fascendini, B. Pittón; Solari, Giaccone, Menossi, Fragapane; Díaz and Aguirre.

The scrimmage allowed the players with less playing time to maintain their competitive rhythm, with the presence of names like Lucas Menossi and Franco Fragapane standing out in the creative zone.
