Estigarribia: "We were never comfortable, this draw is worth valuing" | OneFootball

Unión drew 1-1 against Huracán this Sunday at the 15 de Abril stadium for the 6th round of the Clausura. Despite a modest collective performance, Marcelo Estigarribia was a key player by scoring the equalizer at the start of the second half. The forward appeared relieved and motivated after ending his goal drought.

“Scoring is very important. I enjoy it a lot. I faced a tough situation before and I enjoy every match, being a starter and scoring again. Not to mention it helped us draw. It's what I need, and we will keep working,” the striker expressed after the match.

Regarding the match's development, he was self-critical: “A dull match, with a lot of play and the ball being divided. With one extra player, we could have done more damage, but we didn't have the necessary clarity. We need to work for what's coming.”

Chelo also spoke about what's coming up on the schedule: “Now we face River. First, we need to recover and then start preparing for this match in Mendoza for the Copa Argentina. After that comes Racing. All tough matches, and we trust in what we can do.”

He also acknowledged the importance of the support he received from the coaching staff and his teammates during difficult times: “The confidence they gave me is important. I also depend on my teammates' play, and not giving up was key.”

Finally, he appreciated the point earned, although he made it clear that the goal was different: “We wanted to win, but it wasn't our best afternoon. We were never comfortable, and we have to value this draw.”
