Unión finally settled an old score against Independiente Rivadavia | OneFootball

Unión earned a resounding win over Independiente Rivadavia, allowing them to snap a negative streak that had followed them throughout the entire Apertura Tournament.

Unión reached the quarterfinals with a 2-1 away win over Independiente Rivadavia, the team that had collected the most points in the Apertura Tournament. The Mendoza-based Lepra had earned 34 points.

The issue Unión finally managed to settle

Tate knocked out one of the favorites to win the title and will visit Belgrano this Tuesday. But beyond the resounding victory they achieved, the red-and-white side also managed to settle an outstanding issue that had followed them throughout the competition.

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

As such, the red-and-white team had been unable to beat any of the top seven teams in Zone A. They lost 2-1 to Estudiantes (1st), drew 1-1 with Boca (2nd), and also drew 2-2 with Vélez (3rd).
