Unión switch gears and focus on their last big target this term | OneFootball

The elimination against Belgrano at the Gigante de Alberdi forced Unión to turn the page immediately. With little room to dwell on the blow suffered in Córdoba, the red-and-white squad began its return to Santa Fe this Wednesday with its sights set on what lies ahead.

In Córdoba, after breakfast at the team hotel, the delegation left for the capital of Santa Fe Province, where the schedule will continue with lunch, rest, and another training session set for 6 p.m. at the Casasol grounds.

The Copa Argentina, Unión’s last challenge before the break

With the Apertura Tournament already over for Unión after the 2-0 defeat to Belgrano, the squad’s full energy will now be focused on the Copa Argentina.

Leonardo Madelón’s team is awaiting official confirmation of the date to face Independiente, in a matchup that is shaping up to be the last commitment of this first part of the season before the vacation break begins.

An intense half-season for Unión

After securing qualification for the playoffs right near the end of the regular phase, the team surprised many by eliminating Independiente Rivadavia in Mendoza, although it could not repeat the feat in Alberdi.

Now the focus will be exclusively on the cup clash against Independiente (May 31 or June 7), which could become an important opportunity to end the half-season on a different note and stay in contention in a tournament that offers international qualification.

Meanwhile, expectations are also beginning to grow around Leonardo Madelón’s future, as he left the door open to taking a break after the elimination against Belgrano. For now, however, the squad continues to work as usual and with an immediate objective ahead.
