Colón aim to end their poor run away at Isla Maciel | OneFootball

Colón will face a new challenge this Sunday against San Telmo away from Santa Fe, but recent records as visitors only serve to raise alarms. The rojinegro team, which recently drew 0-0 against Central Norte in their first outing from Brigadier López this season, carries a streak as negative as it is decisive every time they hit the road.

The match, corresponding to the 6th round of Zone A of the Primera Nacional Tournament, will be played from 16:00 at Isla Maciel and will be officiated by Franco Acita. For Ezequiel Medrán's team, it will be a new opportunity to begin breaking a drought that has already become one of the major outstanding issues of the cycle.

Colón's last joy, too distant

The last time Colón managed to win as visitors was on July 20, 2025, during the 23rd round, when they defeated Central Norte 4-3 in a thrilling match. That afternoon, the Sabalero triumphed with goals from Emmanuel Gigliotti, who scored twice, Zahir Yunis, and Federico Jourdan, while for the Salta team, Franco Tisera, Rodrigo Acosta, and Nicolás Genés scored.

That match also had special significance because it was the second game of Pulga Rodríguez since his return to Colón. However, what seemed then to be a boost to start improving away from home has so far been the last rojinegra victory away from Brigadier López.

Six games without a win and a drought that frightens

After that victory in Salta, Colón has not celebrated again as visitors. In total, six games have passed, with a very poor record: five losses and one draw.

The negative series included defeats against Gimnasia de Jujuy 4-0, San Telmo 1-0, Defensores de Belgrano 1-0, Talleres de Remedios de Escalada 2-0, and Estudiantes de Buenos Aires 1-0. Added to this chain is the draw 0-0 against Central Norte this season, which was the team's first outing in the current championship.

But the most striking fact is not just the absence of victories. There is another even more impactful record: Colón has not scored a goal outside Santa Fe since that match against Central Norte.

585 minutes without goals away from home

The last sabalero goal as visitors was scored by Emmanuel Gigliotti at 45 minutes of the first half of that 4-3 against Central Norte. Since then, the team has not scored again outside Santa Fe.

This means that Colón has accumulated 585 minutes without scoring as visitors, a figure that starkly reveals one of the team's main shortcomings when they have to leave Brigadier López. The streak not only speaks of a marked offensive drought but also of a structural problem every time they have to take the lead or compete on foreign grounds.

A recent precedent, and an outstanding issue

The data becomes even more sensitive considering that this Sunday's opponent is precisely San Telmo, one of the teams that has already managed to defeat Colón in this same negative streak away from home. Therefore, the match at Isla Maciel is loaded with symbolism: it will not only be another visit but also a concrete opportunity to start changing a very adverse trend.

Colón knows that to be truly competitive in a demanding category like the Primera Nacional, they urgently need to improve their performance as visitors. So far, the numbers show a clear contrast between what they can build in Santa Fe and what costs them too much away from their fans.

A test to break the bad streak

Ahead of Sunday's clash, the focus will not only be on the points at stake or the position in the table. It will also be on that statistical burden that the Sabalero has been carrying for months and that has already become too heavy.

The visit to San Telmo appears, then, as much more than a match of the 6th round. It will be a new chance to break a disastrous streak, score a goal away from home, and demonstrate that the team can also respond away from Brigadier López. Because Colón needs to add points, yes. But they also need to start shedding a debt that, for now, continues to grow.
