A final set to be a cracker: Colón de San Justo v La Perla in LSF final | OneFootball

The time for the decider has arrived. This Friday, starting at 9 p.m., Colón de San Justo and La Perla del Oeste will face off at Unión’s 15 de Abril stadium to determine the 2026 Apertura Tournament champion of the Liga Santafesina de Fútbol.

The final will have a special twist: both teams finished level at the top of the table with 52 points, after 16 wins, four draws, and just one defeat. For that reason, they will have to play a winner-take-all tiebreaker. If they are still level after 90 minutes, the champion will be decided on penalties.

Colón de San Justo comes in as the highest-scoring team in the tournament, with 55 goals scored. They are also on an impressive run of 17 straight matches without defeat, with 13 wins and four draws since their only loss, which came in the fourth round against Deportivo Santa Rosa.

La Perla del Oeste, meanwhile, stood out for its defensive solidity. It conceded only 12 goals throughout the tournament and has also gone 17 matches unbeaten. Its only defeat came precisely against Colón de San Justo, so it will be looking for revenge in the most important match of the championship.

The showdown will also have a special setting for regional football: the 15 de Abril stadium, where two of the best teams of the season will try to cap off their campaign with the title.

Everything is set for a final that promises maximum parity. Colón de San Justo and La Perla del Oeste have already done more than enough over the 21 rounds of the tournament, and now they will have 90 minutes — and possibly penalties — to decide who will take the Apertura 2026 crown.
