Colón back on track and wanting more: the run closing on top | OneFootball

Colón is going through an upward spell since Iván Delfino’s arrival, and the numbers reflect the impact of the coaching change. El Sabalero not only secured important results, but was also the team that picked up the most points over the last five matchdays among the three main contenders in Primera Nacional’s Zone A.

During that stretch, Colón collected 10 points out of a possible 15, while Ferro took nine and Deportivo Morón eight. That difference allowed the Santa Fe side to make up ground and once again look at the fight for the top spots with greater optimism.

Delfino’s team’s run began with a 1-0 defeat to Chaco For Ever and continued with a 1-1 draw against Acassuso. From that point on came the recovery: Colón put together three straight wins over San Telmo, Patronato, and San Miguel, by scores of 1-0, 3-0, and 2-1, respectively.

The comparison with its main rivals is also favorable. Ferro lost to Deportivo Morón and Godoy Cruz before bouncing back with three consecutive victories over Los Andes, Atlanta, and All Boys. Meanwhile, Morón fell to Chaco For Ever, then earned two wins and closed the period with two draws against San Telmo and Central Norte.

In this way, El Sabalero made the most of its resurgence and managed to turn what seemed like a difficult moment into a new opportunity to compete at the top. Delfino’s arrival brought about a positive change in performance and, above all, allowed Colón to start picking up points consistently again.

Now, the challenge will be to keep this run going in the coming matchdays. With the championship entering its decisive stretch, every point will be crucial, and Colón will look to continue closing the gap to keep alive its hopes of finishing first in Zone A.
