Unión reserves snatch late win over Sarmiento in Santa Fe, end goal drought | OneFootball

When the draw seemed sealed, a set piece appeared, a decisive finish, and a contained shout that finally burst out. Unión's reserve team defeated Sarmiento 1-0 this Monday at the 15 de Abril stadium, securing their first victory in the Apertura Proyección, during the 4th round.

The hero of the afternoon was Tomás Fagioli, who scored the only goal of the match at the 47th minute of the second half, unleashing the celebration. 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 competitive with few differences throughout the 90 minutes. Unión sought to take the lead at home, while the visiting team relied on solidity and order. Everything indicated that the score would remain unchanged until, in the last action, the Tate found the reward for their persistence.

With this result, the team from Santa Fe reached five points and began to settle in the standings, leaving behind a start that had been elusive in terms of results. Now, with renewed confidence, the challenge will be to maintain the momentum and turn this hard-fought victory into a starting point.
