The Unión Reserve continues its preparation and this Saturday added minutes of competition in a friendly match divided into two 40-minute halves. The day ended with a 0-0 draw in the first half and a 1-0 defeat in the second, with multiple variations evaluated.
The red and white team faced a formal trial that allowed for the observation of individual and collective performances. The starting eleven consisted of Mateo Raschia; Francisco Barinas, Ignacio Isla, Tomás Fagioli, and Lucas Ayala; Ignacio Pedano, Mateo Peresutti, Lucas Cacciabue, and Benjamín Pérez; Valentín Cerrudo and Ricardo Solbes. The first block ended goalless, with an even and orderly development, while in the second half the score leaned by the minimum difference.
During the match, Juan Ignacio Kuverling, David Fernández, Santiago Zenclussen, Santino Vera, Facundo Iacono, Juan Ignacio Peralta, Tomás Romero, Alan Sosa, and Leo De Olivera entered the field. The rotation allowed the technical staff to broaden the range of options and continue evaluating players in preparation for the official competition, in a key stage of preparation.
Beyond the result, the friendly left positive conclusions regarding rhythm and functioning, although there are also aspects to correct. With Lanús on the horizon for the first team, Leonardo Madelón will seek to adjust details and raise the general level, aware that the margin is short and the tournament's demands are high.
