Union vs Atletico Tucuman
Thanks to a strike from Emanuel Britez in the 90th minute, Union Santa Fe claimed a much-needed 1-0 away success at bottom-placed Sarandi Arsenal to break a two-game losing streak in league action. As a result, the team made it 28 points in this competition and also kept their hope alive in the struggle to get a Copa Sudamericana ticket: El Tatengue are now two points behind the last qualifying berth in the aggregate table (occupied by Gimnasia LP). On a sorry note, Union managed four points in their last four home games, having won one, drawn one and lost two in that time.
Atletico Tucuman are getting worse game after game. Last Wednesday, the team lost 4-0 at home to Defensa y Justicia and coach Pablo Guinazu resigned after only six games in charge (two draws and four defeats). El Decano earned only 21 points in this competition, leading bottom-placed Sarandi Arsenal by two. On the road, Atletico managed only one point from the last 18 available. Martin Anastacio will take over as interim boss again (he was in charge of the team in their last victory, 4-3 over Argentinos Juniors at home in round 16).
The worst defense in the league plays, Atletico with 39 goals conceded and I have to expect goals again as the hosts must win to get closer to a Copa Sudamericana spot.
