The Academy and Tatengue opened the 2023 League Cup with a 1–1 draw in Santa Fe. The matchup moved quickly and delivered a fair result as both squads pressed for a win early in the season.
Copa Libertadores quarterfinal preparations saw Gago deploy a balanced mix of regulars and substitutes for the clash with Boca Juniors at La Bombonera. Before that high-stakes game, the coach aimed to give his players a proper start to the 2023 Professional League Cup. Visiting Santa Fe, Unión managed to level at the 15 de Abril Stadium after a tightly contested first half.
Quintero and Almond earned debuts in the albiceleste shirt as part of a rotation. The visitors grabbed the lead through Baltasar Rodríguez, but a miscue by Matías Tagliamonte allowed Gonzalo Morales to level the score. Morales kept his composure and finished decisively to restore parity for Unión.
As the match wore on, Unión carved out several promising chances to seize control, yet the finishing touch eluded them and the scoreboard stayed 1–1. Racing, meanwhile, shaped its approach and prepared for the next phase of the season as it pursues its targets.
The teams are expected to be prominently involved in the early weeks of the split season as both sides seek momentum for what lies ahead. GOAL will continue to cover the action and break down the key moments as the league schedule unfolds.
