Unión reserves thrashed by Vélez, slip down the table | OneFootball

Unión’s reserve team suffered a heavy blow this Wednesday afternoon, falling 4-0 to Vélez at Parque Leloir on Matchday 7 of the Proyección Apertura Tournament, and sank deeper into a slump they are struggling to escape, despite the emotional draw against River in the previous round.

El Rojiblanco never managed to settle into the match and was thoroughly outplayed from the start. In a clinical first half, El Fortín put the game to bed with goals from Tomás Nosei, Alexis Pereyra, Thiago Aguirre, and Bautista Ramírez, building a lead that proved impossible to overturn.

With no answers on the field and no emotional response, Unión ended up suffering an unquestionable defeat and recorded their third straight match without a win, a run that is beginning to affect their place in the standings. With this result, El Tatengue dropped to 14th place, with seven points so far in the competition.

Now, the challenge will be to turn the page quickly. In the next round, Unión will have the chance to bounce back when they host San Lorenzo on April 7 at 3 p.m., looking to end the streak and reconnect with their best form.
