Newell’s (32 points) regained their joy on Friday night by beating Unión de Santa Fe (26) 1-0 at the 15 de Abril stadium, with a goal from former Tatengue Juan Manuel García, 14 minutes into the first half. .

The team led by Adrián Coria came out of two straight defeats while cutting an adverse streak in the Santa Fe redoubt because they had not won there since the Clausura 2003 tournament (2-0), when it was led by Héctor Rodolfo Veira. Thus, it settles in Copa Sudamericana positions.

On the contrary, Gustavo Munúa’s Tatengue added their fourth straight loss and got just 5 of the last 27 points in play.

In the first passages of the match, Unión appeared with greater impetus to quickly seek the opening, but failed in their attempts with poor definitions. The Rosario team, on the other hand, little by little settled better on the field and soon became dominant in the actions, generating some deep charges.

Like the one defined by Pablo Pérez, with a violent shot from the edge of the large area, which defender Franco Calderón providentially deflected with a header very close to his goal (at 12 minutes).

What was like a warning of what would come two minutes later, this time with a stopped ball play, with a corner kick headed by the Paraguayan defender Gustavo Velázquez and managed to slap the Uruguayan goalkeeper Santiago Mele, but the nose García’s scorer (49 games and 15 goals in Unión between 2020 and 2021) made him attack from the left to convert along the right side of the local goal.

As the minutes went by, the Tatengue reacted and with the skillful driving of Martín Cañete and the overflows of Imanol Machuca on the right, they pressed closer to the Newell’s area, which had to fall back to contain it.

The last passages of the first half were similar to those at the beginning of the second, with dangerous arrivals from the homeowner in search of equality, although with more incompetence to define.

Thus, the offensive posture of the red-and-whites generated a more intense development due to the fact that those of Leprosy knew how to maintain the advantage with order in the background, to which they added incisive retorts, which kept the result open until the end.

In part, Newell’s could not close the well-deserved success earlier as a result of losing key men during the second half, such as Ramiro Sordo, Armando Méndez and García, due to various muscular ailments, plus Pablo Pérez exhausted due to wear and tear in the reappearance after a month without playing due to a muscle injury.
