The hoodoo Unión finally ended, fuelling hope ahead of Belgrano | OneFootball

Unión reached the quarterfinals, beating Independiente Rivadavia 2-1 away from home, the team that had earned the most points in the Apertura Tournament. La Lepra from Mendoza had collected 34 points.

El Tate knocked out one of the favorites to win the title and this Tuesday will visit Belgrano. But beyond the resounding victory it achieved, the red-and-white side managed to settle a score it had been carrying throughout the competition.

The thing is, Unión had won five matches in the Apertura Tournament, but none of them had come against rivals that finished above El Tate in the standings.

So, El Rojiblanco had not been able to beat any of the top seven teams in Zone A. It lost 2-1 to Estudiantes (1st), drew 1-1 with Boca (2nd), and tied 2-2 against Vélez (3rd).

It also drew 1-1 with Talleres (4th) and 4-4 with Independiente (5th). It lost 2-1 to Lanús (6th) and drew 0-0 against San Lorenzo (7th).
