Colón let it slip: Boca turn it around at the Brigadier López | OneFootball

The Colón Reserve had a challenging day in their quest to reach the round of 16 of the Copa Proyección. The team led by Martín Minella started off winning against Boca but couldn't maintain the lead and ended up losing 2-1 at the Brigadier Estanislao López stadium, as part of the 15th matchday of Zone A.

The match began promisingly for the Sabalero: 5 minutes into the first half, Iván Ojeda took advantage of a good team play and scored with precision to make it 1-0 on the scoreboard. However, the Xeneize, with poise and patience, equalized the match before halftime: Gonzalo Gelini scored at 36 minutes, leaving everything even at the break.

In the second half, Boca capitalized on their moment of superiority. At 7 minutes, Joaquín Ruiz appeared with a precise finish to make it the final 2-1, a result that the Sabalero could not overturn despite attempts to break the solid visiting defense. The Xeneize ended up justifying the victory with authority and solidified themselves as one of the strongest teams in the tournament.

With this result, Colón was left out of the qualifying zone, four points behind Argentinos Juniors, the last team currently advancing to the round of 16, while Barracas Central, Estudiantes, and Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza continue to fight in the middle of the table. Meanwhile, Boca became the new leader, displacing Belgrano and extending their lead over their pursuers.
