Paraguayan striker Jorge Recalde opened the scoring for newells when he was averaging the first half, and the left midfielder Kevin Zenon tied for Unión in the quarter hour of the plugin.
newells He was far superior to Unión in the first half, especially in the initial minutes, in which he controlled the ball almost at will and generated three very clear arrivals, one of which was enough to prevail in that stage.
They had barely played six minutes when aguirre finished off from outside the area and the ball hit the base of the right post, on a rebound that took recalde but corvalan saved the corner.
And on the next play, after seven minutes, Unión responded with a good counterattack from roldan towards the lonely pike of machuca to the right of the area, who shot the long dribble but the goalkeeper holes saved in great shape.
At nine minutes, aguirre sent a good cross from the right and ferreira he headed alone, despite the three visiting defenders, and the ball bounced off the right post.
Union responded in the 17th minute with a right foot just wide of Machuca, who capitalized on a poor start from ferreira, and at 23 with a good counterattack from zeno, who reached the area but did not kick and lost it.
Until the third clear arrival of Newells, at 24 minutes, it was the charm: ferreira finished off from outside the area, the goalkeeper Scrum he did not pocket it and gave a forward bounce that recalde He did not forgive and shot him from the right and at medium height to open the scoring.
The goal deflated the development of the game to the point that neither came back in the initial stage.
Union went ahead in the plugin, but generated no arrivals in the beginning, while newells increased through Brian Aguirre after four minutes, after a cross from Sordo from the left, but the goal was annulled by VAR due to an infraction by the latter striker against Gordillo, at the start of the play.
The “tatengue” team unexpectedly reached the tie in their best play: at minute 15, Machuca faced and dribbled from the left, the ball reached Vera from the right, who put a pipe into Sordo, reached the bottom and sent a past center for the lonely entrance of Kevin Zenonwho pushed her left-footed into the empty goal.
The goal hit emotionally Newells, that he did not return to danger in the rest of the match, and formed Unión, which defended the point that serves him for the average and that the second was lost in a counterattack by Castrillón, who stopped and allowed the last closing of Ortiz , at 37 minutes.
The point rewarded some passages of good play by Unión in the second half, which is fighting to improve its average and to escape from the last places in the table, as much as it punished Newell’s, which squandered two very clear arrivals at the beginning of the match, but that he was left without a game or propitious occasions in almost the entire complement.
