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

Unión’s reserve team suffered a heavy blow this Wednesday afternoon, losing 4-0 to Vélez at Parque Leloir on Matchday 7 of the Proyección Apertura Tournament, and slipped 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 dominant first half, El Fortín put the game to bed with goals from Tomás Nosei, Alexis Pereyra, Thiago Aguirre, and Bautista Ramírez, opening up a gap that proved impossible to overcome.

With no footballing answers and no emotional reaction, Unión ended up falling without excuse and recorded its third straight match without a win, a run that is starting to affect its 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 it hosts San Lorenzo on April 7 at 3 p.m., looking to end the streak and rediscover its best form.
