Finally, Colón’s coach Ezequiel Medrán made three changes for the match against Deportivo Morón, keeping Federico Jourdan in the starting lineup.

At the start of the match, Colón threatened with a free kick taken by Christian Bernardi that went just wide of the left post of the goal defended by Julio Salvá.

However, at 6′ Deportivo Morón created a clear chance to open the scoring. Fabricio Sanguinetti flicked the ball on with his back to goal and Yair González, facing the goal, shot over the crossbar.

The match was end-to-end, as both teams were obliged to win. Colón to avoid depending on any other result, and Deportivo Morón looking to keep up with Gimnasia de Mendoza.

The play for Colón revolved around what Bernardi could create, as he was the midfielder most involved. He was the one trying to break lines and go straight at the opposing goal.

The match was balanced, with both teams battling, but also trying to play football. There was little action in front of the goals and there were more threats than real chances to open the scoring.

As the minutes passed, the match became increasingly sloppy with many mistakes and neither team able to impose themselves

As things stood, the first half faded away in a rather mediocre context. With the relief for Colón that CADU and Talleres de Remedios de Escalada were unable to win and so, with 45′ still to play, they had already secured their place in the division.

At the start of the second half, Ezequiel Medrán showed faith in the same 11 understanding that, now without the pressure of staying up, they could play with a bit more freedom.

Nevertheless, in those first minutes the match was a carbon copy of the first half. Very poorly played, with constant mistakes and too much battling.

It was no surprise that at 10′ Ezequiel Medrán made changes from the bench. Kevin Colli and the young forward Iván Ojeda came on for Jourdan and Castro, both of whom had performed poorly.

And at 12′ one of those changes almost paid off for the coach, as Colli received a pass from Bernardi, entered the area and shot, but goalkeeper Salvá managed to get a hand to it and then a defender cleared the ball.

The changes gave Colón more movement in attack and perhaps, with a more favorable context, the team dared to play a bit more.

At 26′ it was Deportivo Morón who threatened when Fabricio Sanguinetti drove through the middle, stopped and played it right for Elías Contreras, who shot wide on the run.

At 27′ Christian Bernardi was substituted, apologized to the fans, and once seated on the bench broke down in tears as a result of the situation.

And at 29′ Deportivo Morón threatened again. Zahir Ibarra couldn’t close down, Sanguinetti crossed and Tomás Giménez failed to control, with Guillermo Ortiz clearing for a corner.

From that corner, Ivo Constantino won in the air but the ball went over the bar. In that stretch of the match, the visiting team was slightly better.

However, at 34′ once again it was Colli who made the difference, getting in front inside the area with a great leap and his header went just wide of the left post.
