Rafael Profini leads Torneo Apertura assists for Unión | OneFootball

The football growth experienced by Rafael Profini at the start of 2026 is truly remarkable. To the point that he has become an indispensable player for Unión in the midfield.

Although he is a central midfielder, he is key to making Tate, along with Independiente and Tigre, one of the highest-scoring teams in Argentine football with 15 goals in nine matches.

Profini has become the top assist provider of the Torneo Apertura, delivering four assists. Additionally, he scored a goal in the 4-0 thrashing of Gimnasia de Mendoza.

In the match against Independiente, he won the penalty that Cristian Tarragona later converted into a goal. He also provided a superb assist for Mateo del Blanco's goal.

But without a doubt, his most outstanding game in terms of numbers was against Sarmiento. In that match, Profini contributed three assists in Tate's 3-1 victory.

With the departure of Mauricio Martínez, Profini has definitively established himself in the starting lineup, complementing Mauro Pittón in the center of the pitch.

So far in the Torneo Apertura, the 22-year-old midfielder has started every match, accumulating 766 minutes on the field and, notably, has not received a single booking.
