That's how long the Unión Santa Fe goalkeeper Sebastian Emanuel Moyano and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Unión's last game was the home draw against Sarmiento (0-0). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Newell's Old Boys that ended 0-0.

The attacking power of Unión when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Unión Santa Fe defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 3 games).
