Colón lost top spot to Morón, but it wasn't all bad | OneFootball

The 2-0 defeat to Deportivo Morón at the Nuevo Francisco Urbano not only ended their recent unbeaten run, but also caused an earthquake at the top of Zone A. With this result, the “Gallito” reached 17 points and pushed Colón out of first place thanks to a better goal difference (+6 compared to +4).

The Santa Fe side, which had been leading by a certain margin, now finds itself in an extremely tight leading pack. However, the Sabalero has an immediate chance to redeem itself in front of its home crowd in what promises to be the most attractive match of the next round.

The schedule has two matches in store for Colón that will set the tone for its hopes of reclaiming sole possession of the lead.

Matchday 11: Clash of contenders in Santa Fe

Next Sunday, April 26, at 7:00 PM, Colón will host Godoy Cruz. El Tomba is coming off a draw with San Miguel and remains within striking distance on 14 points. For the Sabalero, winning would mean not only putting pressure on Morón, but also getting rid of a direct rival aiming for the top spots.

Matchday 12: Risky trip to Lomas

After the clash in Santa Fe, Colón will have to travel to Buenos Aires to face Los Andes. The “Milrayitas” are currently in sixth place with 13 points and are one of the teams trying to break into the automatic qualification zone, which guarantees another highly difficult scenario for Medrán’s men.

The outlook for the Sabalero

With 5 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in 9 matches, Colón remains one of the tournament’s main contenders. The key over the next two weeks will be to regain its attacking sharpness and make home advantage count at the Brigadier López, a factor that will be decisive in climbing back above everyone else in a relentless Zone A.
