Del Blanco, key for Unión: their top creator of goal chances | OneFootball

Argentinian football always allows for unexpected breakthroughs, and in this Clausura Tournament, one of the most notable appearances comes from Santa Fe. Mateo Del Blanco from Unión has become the player who generated the most goal chances in the first seven matches. No less than 24, placing him at the top of the ranking above prominent names like Matko Miljevic (Huracán) and Éver Banega (Newell’s), both with 17.

Far from being a coincidence, the numbers reflect the excellent moment of the left-footer, who also stands out as the team's top assister. His influence in the attack is increasingly evident, and his ability to break lines, read the game, and set up his teammates in front of the goal has made him an essential cog for Leonardo Madelón's team.

Trained as a midfielder, Del Blanco found a new position on the left flank to unleash his full potential. Far from limiting himself to defense, he turns the flank into a zone of constant creation, adding depth, precision in crosses, and an intelligent reading of the game.

His growth coincides with a good collective present: Unión has left behind the urgencies of relegation and dares to look upwards in Zone A, with the hope of competing and joining the big conversation. On this path, the left-footer who emerged from the youth ranks has become one of the most consistent and decisive pieces of the team.
