Unión reserves edge Sarmiento late in Santa Fe, end winless run | OneFootball

When the draw seemed inevitable, a set piece appeared, a decisive finish, and a long-contained shout was finally released. Unión’s reserve team defeated Sarmiento 1-0 this Monday at the 15 de Abril stadium, earning their first victory in the Apertura Proyección, on matchday 4.

The hero of the afternoon was Tomás Fagioli, who at 47 minutes into the second half scored the only goal of the match and unleashed the celebrations. A goal worth more than three points: it meant breaking the winless streak and changing the mood at the start of the season, after two consecutive draws.

The match was hard-fought and with few differences over the 90 minutes. Unión tried to take the initiative at home, while the visiting team relied on solidity and order. Everything indicated that the score would remain unchanged, until in the final play Tate found the reward for their persistence.

With this result, the team from Santa Fe reached five points and is starting to climb the table, leaving behind a difficult start in terms of results. Now, with renewed confidence, the challenge will be to maintain the momentum and turn this dramatic win into a starting point. For matchday 5, Unión will visit Racing on Wednesday the 18th, starting at 3:00 PM.
