“Lucas Menossi broke the deadlock to give Unión the lead, capitalising on sustained pressure that included an earlier corner and a Mosqueira chance moments before.”
Pivotal“Michael Santos equalised for Central Cordoba just after the hour mark, pulling his side level after a right-footed effort that beat the Unión goalkeeper.”
Pivotal“Just three minutes after the equaliser, Facundo Mansilla put Central Cordoba ahead, completing a stunning turnaround that left Unión stunned and without a reply for the remainder of the game.”
Pivotal“First-half scorer Lucas Menossi was booked for a foul, adding a layer of frustration to his evening as Unión pushed desperately but without cutting through a resolute Central Cordoba rearguard.”
Outstanding performance

Unión Santa Fe were the better side for almost the entire ninety minutes, controlling 60% of the ball, registering 22 shots to Central Cordoba's nine, and creating sustained pressure through 64 dangerous attacks — yet they walked away with nothing. Lucas Menossi's 17th-minute opener looked set to reward that dominance, but Central Cordoba produced one of the Liga Profesional's more ruthless second-half swings, levelling through Michael Santos at 51' and then, just three minutes later, Facundo Mansilla put the visitors in front. Once ahead, Central Cordoba defended with discipline — conceding only three fouls all game — and goalkeeper saves (seven in total) absorbed everything Unión threw at them in the closing half-hour. The result speaks to a recurring story in Argentine football: Unión created the big chances but missed them both, while Central Cordoba converted from a much narrower window of opportunity. For Unión, it is a demoralising home defeat that compounds pressure in a tight title race; for Central Cordoba, it is a statement result built on resilience and clinical finishing.
