A response? El Sabalero seeks solace against a spluttering Godoy Cruz | OneFootball

By Jonas Reinglestein

The loss to Morón hurt because it meant giving up sole possession of first place, but the schedule offers a quick chance at redemption. Next weekend, the Brigadier López will host a huge clash among the top teams in Zone A, when it welcomes Godoy Cruz, a direct rival that currently has the same number of points.

Mariano Toedtli’s team arrives in Santa Fe after a dull 0-0 draw against San Miguel at the Gambarte. El Expreso had a terribly hard time creating play and left frustrated in front of its fans. To make matters worse, Tomba comes in with doubts over its main striker, Nahuel Ulariaga, who finished the match carrying a physical knock. It’s also worth mentioning Roberto Ramírez, the goalkeeper from Mendoza, who is coming off a standout performance and is the main reason his team remains in the fight near the top.

In Colón’s camp, this week will be key to getting players back and rethinking several things. With the table showing Morón one step ahead on goal difference, Medrán’s team needs to make itself strong at home again so as not to lose ground on “Gallito.” Attention will also be on what Defensores de Belgrano do this afternoon against Racing de Córdoba, because a result there could tighten up the pack at the top even more.

A week full of behind-the-scenes maneuvering and hard work at the training ground is coming up. Colón has the names and has home-field advantage; now it has to show that the stumble in the West was just that, a stumble, and that it is ready to fight for promotion until the very end.
