A lapse cost Colón dear as they lost narrowly to Racing de Córdoba | OneFootball

Racing de Córdoba leads Colón 1-0 at halftime in Nueva Italia, snapping the run of three straight wins that Iván Delfino’s team had brought into Zone A. The match, broadcast by Radio Gol 96.7 with commentary from Leo Márquez and analysis by Julio Martínez, began with a clear initiative from the home side, which controlled possession from the outset. In the 15th minute, the Córdoba-based Academy had its first clear chance through a shot by Pablo Chavarría that was saved by goalkeeper Matías Budiño.

Shortly afterward, in the 18th minute, the Sabalero were miraculously spared when a combination between Facundo Taborda and Chavarría ended with a shot off the post, although the play was immediately ruled out for offside. However, the visitors’ defensive errors proved costly again in the 22nd minute, when Colón lost track of their marks and allowed RaúlChamorro to advance completely unmarked and set up a teammate inside the box. Budiño came out late, brought down the attacker, and conceded a penalty that, in the 28th minute, Chavarría himself converted to make it 1-0.

In the closing stages of the first half, the Santa Fe side looked completely disjointed, created very little going forward, and struggled with every attack from their opponent. With few chances at the other end and the clear need to make adjustments at halftime, Colón went into the break trailing on the scoreboard.
