Unión have the player with the most shots on target in the Liga Profesional | OneFootball

The Unión squad has left behind the bitter taste of the draw against Independiente and is now focusing all its efforts on the clash against Boca, which will be played on Sunday at 10 p.m., as part of the 11th round of the Torneo Apertura. In the lead-up, a statistical fact emerges that reaffirms their offensive identity.

The team from Santa Fe remains among the highest-scoring sides in the championship, a clear sign of their commitment to attacking and seeking the opponent’s goal. In this context, one name stands out in the shooting department: Marcelo Estigarribia.

Estigarribia, the one who tries the most in Unión

According to a statistical survey by @DataMoron, he is the player with the most shots on goal in the tournament, with a total of 23. Behind him are David Romero from Tigre and his attacking partner at Tate, Cristian Tarragona, both with 21 attempts.

Although Chelo has not yet managed to turn that number of shots into a higher goal tally—an aspect of his performance that needs improvement—his constant presence in the scoring area and his persistence in seeking the opponent’s goal make him one of the team’s offensive references. Ultimately, it is a clear symptom of the offensive DNA that Unión is trying to maintain in this Apertura, and for that reason, they are already laying their cards on the table against Boca ahead of a high-stakes match at the 15 de Abril.
