Colón's unbeaten run ends at Isla Maciel, San Telmo win 3-1 | OneFootball

In a turbulent and adverse match, Colón suffered their first defeat of the tournament, falling 3-1 to San Telmo in the sixth round of the Primera Nacional. Ezequiel Medrán’s team couldn’t find their footing at the Osvaldo Baletto Stadium and succumbed to the effectiveness of a “Candombero” side that dominated from start to finish.

A tough first half

From the outset, San Telmo took the initiative. Although Matías Budiño initially kept a clean sheet with key saves, Colón’s goal was under constant threat, including a shot that hit the post. The resistance was finally broken in the 41st minute, when Joel González finished a one-on-one to make it 1-0, the score at halftime.

Unusual delay and a lethal blow

The start of the second half was marred by a wait of more than 45 minutes due to the absence of the mandatory ambulance (which had to transport a fan). After play resumed, the break seemed to affect Colón more: quickly, Joel González struck again after a great individual move to extend the lead to 2-0.

Insufficient reaction

Medrán made changes from the bench in search of answers and found them in the 19th minute, when Alan Bonansea scored with a header after a precise cross to pull one back. However, hopes of a comeback were short-lived. Just minutes later, Franco Tisera sealed the result at 3-1 after beating the Santa Fe defense to the ball.

With this result, the Sabalero’s unbeaten run comes to an end and they will have to work quickly to regain ground in Zone B.
