Marcelo Estigarribia leads the scoring for Unión in the Clausura | OneFootball

After a dry spell in the Apertura, Marcelo Estigarribia seems to have finally found his footing and has become Unión's top scorer in the Clausura.

After months of anticipation and some frustration, Marcelo Estigarribia finally began to show why his arrival at Unión generated so much excitement. With the goal in the 3-1 victory against Racing in Avellaneda, the striker became Tate's top scorer in this Clausura, marking a turning point in his season.

Estigarribia's first semester was modest: just one goal, wasted opportunities, and the feeling that the talent he had shown in other teams was not fully blossoming in Santa Fe. However, with this start to the Clausura, Chelo seems to have found his place and his moment: he already has three consecutive goals, two of them headers, showing a nose for the goal that was waiting to appear.

The present that Estigarribia was so looking for at Unión

Beyond the numbers, the goal against Racing has a symbolic value: it is in a Unión that, under the leadership of Leonardo Madelón, wants to leave behind the concern about staying in the category and start to show itself as an ambitious team, capable of standing up to anyone.

In this scenario, Estigarribia unleashed himself, dared to be the protagonist and began to give the fans what they expected: moments of brilliant football and goals that are worth much more than points.

With this present, Chelo not only begins to establish himself as the team's main gunner, but also as a key player for Madelón's offensive project. His scoring resurgence is, without a doubt, one of the most anticipated news for Tate in the tournament so far, and promises that the best of Estigarribia is yet to come.
