CA Talleres de Cordoba beat CA Union de Santa Fe 2-1 in Liga Profesional, turning a late first-half opener and a second-half cushion into the win even after a 90th-minute reply. Agustin Alvarez Martínez and Valentin Depietri scored for the hosts, with Erik Ramirez answering too late for the visitors.

Match Summary

The contest stayed goalless through a cautious opening, though Union Santa Fe were already in the book when Lucas Ayala saw yellow. Talleres finally went in front late in the first half. Federico Fattori set up Agustin Alvarez Martínez, and that 39th-minute finish sent the home side into the interval ahead.

After the restart the cautions continued. Juan Pablo Ludueña was booked for Union, Roman Daniel Riquelme for Talleres, then Brahian Cuello for the visitors. Valentin Depietri finished for Talleres in the 75th minute, Agustin Alvarez Martínez the provider this time. Juan Sforza picked up a yellow soon after. Union Santa Fe did get on the scoresheet when Erik Ramirez converted a Bruno Pittón assist in the 90th minute, but the official result remained 2-1.

Key Moments

The breakthrough just before half-time flipped a sterile first half into a lead Talleres kept to the end. Stretching that advantage in the 75th minute left Union needing two goals in a short window, which is why the strike at 90 minutes only trimmed the deficit. Five yellow cards were shown and none became a sending-off, so Union had to chase with eleven on the field.
