Marcelo Estigarribia was the star of Unión's 4-0 victory, providing clarity and decisiveness in the attack. After the final whistle, the forward analyzed the team's current state: "Happy to win again, because we needed it,” he stated, emphasizing that the group was shaken by the previous setback: "The defeat against Lanús left a bad taste in our mouths, and this time we were superior from start to finish."
The "Chelo" highlighted the importance of reclaiming home advantage and his place in the starting lineup: “I’m happy to be a starter again and help the team win.
