In a first half of an acceptable show, despite the strong gusts of wind that crossed the Juninense stage, which in certain passages influenced the inaccuracy of some passes, the local team was closer to taking advantage.
With the few dangerous arrivals generated within an intense and dynamic game, the “Tatengue” had two clear ones to open the scoring. First with a cross shot by Mauro Luna Diale, (12 min) that crashed into the right side of Sebastián Meza’s goal, who then showed off by containing a shot by Juan Nardoni (35 min).
The ‘Green’, who attacked less, had a very conducive dangerous charge for Guido Mainero to define, who before the departure of the Uruguayan Santiago Mele, finished off over the crossbar (21 min).
In the complement, Unión appeared better positioned in the field, launched into a constant offensive that forced the visiting team to withdraw to contain it.
After insisting so much, the locals found the deserved opening after a lateral kick by Lucas Esquivel, which Federico Andueza cleared short and Nardoni finished off violently from outside the area, leaving Meza with no chance of covering it, at 32 minutes.
Later, before a charge from Javier Toledo, goalkeeper Mele went out of the area, who in his attempt to reject with his right leg raised, unintentionally, applied a flat iron to Sarmiento’s striker on the right parietal.
For this action, the VAR intervened, in charge of Germán Delfino, so that the referee Andrés Gariano sanctioned him with the corresponding red card to the offender, at 39 minutes.

On the contrary, the white and red knew how to exploit the spaces left in the background by the ‘Green’ and thus in added time they were close to increasing the advantage, with a tackle from the entered Kevin Zenón, who in the heads-up deflected Meza and by capturing the Uruguayan Jonathan Álvez rejected, his shot was deflected over the line by Emiliano Méndez.
