Bad run: Unión relive old déjà vu, unable to secure survival | OneFootball

The blow against Ferro not only left concern, but also set off a historic alarm at Unión, which reached seven straight losses in the Liga Nacional

The loss to Ferro not only raised concern over the immediate result, but also triggered a historic alarm: Unión reached seven consecutive defeats, a negative mark it had already suffered at two very sensitive moments in its journey through the Liga Nacional.

The first time Tate went through a similar collapse was between the end of 1986 and the start of 1987. That losing streak marked the beginning of the end of its stay in the elite. That cycle ended with relegation from the top division, a blow that lasted for decades until the return achieved on August 6, 2021, when the club once again positioned itself among the best in the country.

Unión’s déjà vu after returning to the Liga Nacional

Already re-established in the competition, history repeated itself in the 2022/23 season. In that campaign, the red-and-whites also piled up seven straight losses, ending up on the brink of an uncomfortable outcome. The streak was snapped on April 15, 2023, at the Roberto Pando Sports Center, with a key 91-82 win over San Lorenzo de Almagro. That night, the contributions of Facundo Alessio (17 points) and Tomás Bombino (15) proved decisive in avoiding the Playout.

Now, with a new adverse run in place, Unión is once again looking into the mirror of its own history. The urgency to end the streak is not only sporting: it also responds to the need to prevent the past from once again becoming a real threat.
