A draw that lifts Colón: Ferro stumble again | OneFootball

Ferro Carril Oeste dropped points again and, although they remain at the top of Primera Nacional’s Zone A, their margin is starting to shrink. The Caballito side drew 0-0 with Mitre of Santiago del Estero and recorded their second consecutive draw.

El Verdolaga were the better team for much of the match, creating several dangerous chances and even seeing a shot from Laureano Marra hit the crossbar. However, they were unable to break down the resistance of the Santiago del Estero side and ended up sharing the points.

The draw is especially significant for Colón, who can take advantage of the leader’s latest slip-up to cut the gap in the standings. Ferro had previously drawn with Estudiantes de Buenos Aires and have now taken just two points from the last six available, a situation that is beginning to raise some expectations among their pursuers.

El Sabalero will have a key match this Saturday: they will host Deportivo Morón, the current runner-up, at 5 p.m. at the Brigadier López. Colón come into the match with 45 points, while Morón have 49 and Ferro remain on top with 53.

Thus, a win against El Gallito would not only allow Colón to overtake their direct rival and move into second place, but also cut the gap to Ferro to five points, keeping open a battle for the top spot that seemed much more distant just weeks ago.

The leader’s draw does not completely change the outlook, but it does represent an opportunity that Colón need to seize. With several rounds still to play, every point is starting to carry more and more weight in the fight for Zone A.
