The matchday brought important results for Colón in the fight for the top spots. Godoy Cruz defeated Acassuso 1-0 and moved to within just two points of the Sabalero, while Morón let a two-goal lead slip away against San Telmo and ended up drawing 2-2 at Isla Maciel.

Godoy Cruz’s win allowed them to reach 40 points and move dangerously close to Colón, who currently have 42. In this way, the Mendoza side remains firmly in contention for the top places.

Meanwhile, Morón seemed to have their win over San Telmo well in hand. The Western side was leading 2-0, but the home team reacted in time and managed to salvage a 2-2 draw, even while playing with two fewer players.

With this result, Walter Otta’s team remains second in the table with 45 points. Morón’s draw also opens up an opportunity for Colón: if the Sabalero manage to beat San Miguel, they will reach 45 points and once again fully rejoin the battle for the top spots.

Thus, the matchday results keep the Santa Fe side hopeful, but also on alert because of Godoy Cruz’s advance. Everything will be in Colón’s hands, as they will have the chance to make the most of the round and move back into the upper part of the table.
