Bleak run: Unión relive old déjà vu, survival still not secure | OneFootball

The loss to Ferro not only left concern, but also set off a historical alarm at Unión, which reached seven straight defeats in the Liga Nacional.

The blow against Ferro not only raised concern over the immediate result, but also triggered a historical warning: Unión has now reached seven consecutive losses, a negative mark it had already suffered in two very sensitive moments in its journey through the Liga Nacional.

The first time Tate went through a similar collapse was between the end of 1986 and the beginning of 1987. That losing streak marked the beginning of the end of its stay in the elite. That cycle ended with relegation from the top division, a blow that lasted for decades until the return was secured on August 6, 2021, when the club once again positioned itself among the best in the country.

Unión’s déjà vu after returning to the Liga Nacional

Once back in the competition, history repeated itself in the 2022/23 season. In that campaign, the red-and-whites also piled up seven straight losses, ending up on the verge of an uncomfortable outcome. The streak was snapped on April 15, 2023, at the Roberto Pando Sports Center, with a key 91-82 win over San Lorenzo de Almagro. That night, the contributions of Facundo Alessio (17 points) and Tomás Bombino (15) proved decisive in avoiding the Playout.

Now, with a new adverse run in place, Unión is once again looking into the mirror of its own history. The urgency to end the streak is not only sporting: it also reflects the need to prevent the past from becoming a real threat once again.
