Colón lose every big one, Morón win 2-1 at Brigadier López | OneFootball

On a bitter afternoon for the Sabalero faithful, Colón suffered a hard setback at home after losing 2-1 to Deportivo Morón at the Brigadier General Estanislao López Stadium. The visitors were clinical with the few chances they created in the first half and managed to withstand the red-and-black surge in a second half where the home side’s push was not enough to rescue a draw.

An even start broken by Gallito’s efficiency

The opening minutes showed an intense and evenly contested match. Both teams tried to take control of midfield, although chances in front of goal were scarce and neither side clearly dominated play. As the clock ticked on, Colón threatened with a clear effort from Franco García that came very close to breaking the deadlock, but Morón responded quickly from a set piece with a dangerous free kick from Joaquín Livera that beat the wall and went just over the crossbar defended by Budiño.

When the match had become more hard-fought and physical, the visitors struck first. In the 35th minute, Mateo Levato met a precise cross into the box and beat Budiño with a header to make it 1-0. The blow unsettled Colón, and in stoppage time they suffered another hit: in the 46th minute, Gonzalo Berterame capitalized on a defensive lapse to extend the lead and head into halftime with a surprising 2-0 advantage for El Gallo.

The Sabalero response and a goal that sparked hope

With the urgency of turning the match around, Colón’s coach made changes before the start of the second half, sending on Agustín Toledo and Leandro Garate in place of Ignacio Antonio and Julián Marcioni. The substitutions gave the red-and-black attack a different dynamic, and the response was quick to come.

Just after the second half began, Alan Bonansea pounced on a powerful cross from García in the six-yard box and buried the ball to score the goal back (1-2), igniting the stands at the Brigadier López. With the momentum from the goal, Colón pinned their rival back with intensity and turned the match into a constant end-to-end battle. However, even though the game opened up, a lack of precision in the final touch prevented the home side from converting their dangerous chances.

Late pressure, attacking changes, and an empty-handed finish

In the final minutes, the coaching staff used all their attacking options with the introductions of Conrado Ibarra and Darío Sarmiento to freshen up the flanks and throw the team forward. The referee added five minutes of tension, but Morón’s defensive block held firm against Colón’s crosses until the final whistle.

With this result, Colón were left empty-handed at home after failing to recover from their poor start in the first half, missing a key opportunity to take all three points in front of their fans.
