Colón sweep past Jujuy Básquet and celebrate at Roque Otrino | OneFootball

The bad streak is over for Colón, who built a great victory at home with an 89-67 win, notched their second consecutive triumph, and showed character.

Colón smiled again in front of their fans at the Roque Otrino. The team from Santa Fe authoritatively defeated Jujuy Básquet 89 to 67, achieved their second consecutive victory in this 2026, and left positive signs in terms of collective play, defensive intensity, and the ability to respond at key moments of the game.

The team led by Leandro Spies built their success on a dominant second quarter, where they managed to impose their will on both ends of the court. With a very effective zone defense and good decisions on offense, the rojinegro pulled away from a rival that showed great difficulties with outside shooting, especially from 6.75 meters. That superiority allowed Colón to go into halftime with the lead and emotional control of the game, dictating the pace and capitalizing on the visiting team’s turnovers.

The game changed in the third period. Jujuy Básquet tightened up their defense and found a burst of effectiveness from the perimeter, with five consecutive three-pointers that put them right back in the game. At times, the visitors even took the lead, creating uncertainty in the stadium. However, Colón did not lose their composure. Far from being rattled, the team from Santa Fe showed poise and collective solidity, maintained defensive intensity, and waited for their moment to strike back.

Colón's Devastating Final Quarter

The closing stretch belonged entirely to the Sabalero. With a 32-12 run in the final quarter, Colón overwhelmed their rival, regained control of the game, and ended up dazzling their fans. Ball pressure, offensive movement, and accuracy on open shots made the difference in the decisive stretch.

Individually, Joaquín Fernández (21 points) and Hans Feder Ponce (20) stood out as top scorers, well supported by Bautista Fernández and Germán González, both with 16 points, in a balanced and efficient offensive performance.

The night also brought a special note: the debut of young Franco Mierke from Esperanza, who played his first minutes in the rojinegra jersey—a sign of the club’s ongoing work with its youth divisions. With this victory, Colón gains momentum and is already thinking about their next challenge: Sunday, February 2, when they visit Comunicaciones de Mercedes, looking to continue consolidating their recovery in the competition.
