Palestinians celebrating their second goal (Fotobaires)
Unión de Santa Fe lost 2-1 against Palestino in date 4 of E Group E of the 2025 Copa Sudamericana, practically eliminating their chances of advancing to the next phase. Tatengue, unable to score, had their hopes dashed by a brace from former Santa Fe player, Junior Marabel, who now plays for the Chilean team.
Early Glory and Missed Opportunities
The first half was bland, with both teams possessing the ball but lacking clear scoring chances. Two brutal injuries—to Bruno Pitton and Mauricio Martínez—forced Leonardo Madelón to make early changes.
However, Tatengue controlled the game much more and had two clear scoring opportunities. First, Valentín Fascendini headed a corner that Sebastián Pérez saved miraculously. Then, Marcelo Estigarribia finished a rebound but was denied again by Palestini’s hero, Pérez.
The Decisive Moment
At 5 minutes of the second half, Unión took the lead through Lucas Gamba, who headed in a free kick after a well-orchestrated run-of-play involving Mateo del Blanco and Julián Palacios.
But their joy was short-lived. Two minutes later, Marabel doubled his tally, scoring twice to stun Union and secure Palestino’s classification. First, he finished off a defended deflection, and later, he capitalized upon a crucial ‘keeper-to-keeper’ mix-up betweenasting coach Tony Arias’ long-range pass.
