The sixth round of the Clausura tournament saw Unión stage a dramatic second-half comeback to defeat Aldosivi 3-1 in Mar del Plata. Aldosivi, needing a win, seemed poised for victory after Andrés Vombergar headed them into a 1-0 lead in the 18th minute. Vombergar even found the net again before halftime, but the goal was disallowed for a clear offside.

However, the match turned completely after the break. Unión emerged with renewed determination and quickly equalized in the 6th minute of the second half. Lucas Menossi unleashed a powerful shot from outside the area, finding the far corner of the net to level the score.

The momentum had shifted, and Unión capitalized on Aldosivi's disarray. In the 17th minute, Cristian Tarragona scored the go-ahead goal from a rebound after a save by Aldosivi's goalkeeper. Just two minutes later, Tarragona completed the comeback with his second goal, finishing a swift counter-attack with a well-placed left-footed shot, sealing a crucial 3-1 victory for Unión and deepening Aldosivi's crisis.
